IndyCar and iRacing Studios spill details on series' first video game in twenty years

The NTT IndyCar series produces some of the best racing anywhere on the planet, and for years, fans have been clamoring for a standalone video game based on the series.

It's been in the works for some time, but on Thursday, IndyCar and racing sim juggernaut iRacing announced details, including when to expect the game to debut.

And when that happens, you'll know where to find me: in the upstairs guest bedroom where my wife is cool with me setting up my racing sim.

The game — the series' first standalone game in over twenty years, with the last being "IndyCar Series 2005" — is being developed by iRacing Studios and will be called "IndyCar Racing The Game."

Simple, but honestly perfect. It's going to deliver what it says on the tin.

"IndyCar features the most competitive and action-packed racing on the planet, challenging drivers at every turn with incredible speeds and demanding layouts,," IndyCar chief marketing officer Alex Damron said in a statement. "Our new video game is going to capture the energy and drama of our sport with hyperrealism, bringing our series to a new generation of gamers. Partnering with iRacing — the gold standard in racing simulation — ensures this will be a truly special new chapter in our gaming history. We can't wait for fans to get behind the wheel."

Let's. Go.

There are so many iconic, interesting tracks on the IndyCar schedule that I'm already itching to try. Indianapolis Motor Speedway is, of course, going to be incredible, but how about St. Petersburg and Barber? Arlington and Road America?

Maybe even throw in the circuit that will be used for the upcoming Freedom 250 Grand Prix around Washington, DC.

Yeah, count me in.

The game is slated to roll out in early 2027 in the run-up to the 111th Running of the Indianapolis 500.

It will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC via Steam, with additional information regarding game modes and pre-order info coming in the future.
