NASCAR 21: Ignition in-game achievements released

A list of achievements for NASCAR 21: Ignition posted over on the TrueAchievements website recently. Per the list, there will be 39 Xbox achievements that can add a total of 1000 gamerscore for those still hunting achievements.

Looking at the list, there are many that are focused on completing a long career in the NASCAR 21: Ignition Career Mode. Some race-specific ones can be unlocked in the Race Now mode. On top of that, there are a handful of achievements that cover the two online modes, “Shake and Bake” and “Bump and Run.”

A few more details can be found in reading this list that haven’t been announced just yet. Legacy points will be accumulated during the career, but we don’t know exactly how they tie into the career mode or the contracts. Contracts seem to have a crash clause included in them, which leads me to believe these contracts may have verbiage not seen in a NASCAR game to this point.

Some of the achievements pay homage to drivers such as Chase Elliott, Ryan Newman and Ricky Rudd. Entering the 2021 season, “The Fan Favorite” Elliott had 11 career wins, “Rocket Man” Newman had 18 wins and “Iron Man” Rudd had 23 wins.

Elliott has since earned two more victories in the Cup Series this season, but the achievement “New Fan Favorite” clearly is talking about surpassing the reigning champion’s former win total. Rudd was the original Iron Man, but is more known as “The Rooster” as his Iron Man streak was usurped by Jeff Gordon at 797 starts in 2015.

There isn’t too much to take from the multiplayer achievements other than what we already know, playlist-wise. Overall, the achievements don’t look too encompassing of anything more than what was already given to us, but stay tuned over at Traxion as we continue to head towards the 28th October release date.

Usually, the Xbox achievements and the PlayStation trophies coincide with one another. Xbox achievements will come with a numerical gamerscore value. PlayStation trophies are numberless, awarded in bronze, silver, gold and platinum levels.

While the list for Xbox achievement is available, there are no lists for PlayStation trophies or Steam achievements just yet. The TrueAchievements website covers Xbox-specific awards for task completion, but the TrueGaming network also has PlayStation and Steam oriented websites.

The full list of achievements can be found below or over at TrueAchievements. Which ones are you looking forward to completing? Let us know about it in the comments below!
