- iRacing Studio’s official IndyCar video game will be released “in the countdown to the 2027 Indianapolis 500”
- It now has a formal name, too: IndyCar Racing The Game
- PC (Steam), PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S
The official IndyCar video game has been moved from this year to early 2027, according to the open-wheel championship.
IndyCar Racing The Game, to give it the now formalised name, is a product of iRacing Studios, the PC simulation’s more accessible racing game outfit.
It follows the release of two World of Outlaws titles, last year’s NASCAR 25 and this September’s NASCAR 26. However, unlike the company’s stock car releases, it will eschew Unreal Engine graphics technology for the proprietary Orontes Engine, first seen in off-road racer ExoCross.
It is expected to leverage assets from the main iRacing simulation, which has recently updated several IndyCar elements, such as the hybrid system, the NXT support category, a new version of Barber Motorsports Park and the St. Petersburg venue.
Discussion
At last. I’ve waited years and years for an Indy car game. Nice.
It’s a shame it’s been delayed from its intended 2026 release date, but better late than never for sure!
