iRacing Arcade Approaches Release - Steam Release Delayed, Expected in February

[p]iRacing Arcade Approaches Release - Full Steam Release Delayed, Expected in February[/p][p]Console releases planned for later in 2026[/p][p]After an extremely successful Demo on Steam, iRacing Studios and Original Fire Games have made the decision to delay the full release, previously scheduled for December 2. The development team fully expects the game to be available on Steam within the next 90 days. Featuring an exciting new style of driving and art that is fun to pick up and play for gamers of all ages, the new title will be $24.99 on Steam at launch.[/p][p][/p][p]Having received incredible feedback from many of those who raced the Demo (over 100,000 downloads), the team plans to use the time for further playtesting and additional polish on gameplay and career mode.[/p][p][/p][p]“We will be taking the extra time to ensure the experience meets the quality you expect from an iRacing Studios title,” said Steve Myers, executive vice president, iRacing.com. “The feedback from the demo has been tremendous and we want to be sure we incorporate as much of what the players want into the full release. We are confident that the small delay will result in a much-improved gaming experience. We are not ready to announce the updated release date just yet, but will share as soon as we are confident. The game is very close to being ready, so we fully expect to launch very soon.”[/p][p][/p][p]iRacing Arcade takes some of the world’s premier cars and circuits and converts them into pocket-sized versions designed for maximum fun. From the Fiat 500 Abarth and FIA Formula 4, to the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup and IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship’s premier GTP class, gamers will find plenty of variety among the game’s eight open-wheel, GT, and prototype cars at launch.[/p][p][/p][p]The 14 circuits that will ship with iRacing Arcade are a fun-first world tour of global motorsport. From international Grand Prix hosts like Imola Circuit, Autódromo Hermanos Rodriguez, and Miami International Autodrome, to original iRacing favorites like Tsukuba Circuit and Lime Rock Park, to the iRacing Studios debuts of Bahrain International Circuit and Kyalami Circuit, it’s a whole new look at some of the finest circuits in the world.[/p][p][/p][p]Gamers can get their first taste of iRacing Arcade’s uniquely playful driving style with its free demo, which features the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup at Tsukuba. Players will manage tire wear, fuel burn, and damage while taking on a fast-paced driving experience that is easy to learn and rewarding to master.[/p][p][/p][p]The full release of iRacing Arcade will expand the experience with an exciting and engaging career mode, as players climb the global racing ranks and build a motorsport dynasty. Earn funds to buy faster cars, build facilities that research new advantages, and customize your experience with unique player emotes, bold color schemes, and hired drivers to help expand your legacy. Looking for more? Take on time attacks with players from around the world, set up custom multiplayer lobbies, or put together your own free play races with the combinations of your dreams.[/p][p][/p][p]iRacing Arcade will release for PlayStation and Xbox consoles later in 2026 with additional car and track content. At that time, that additional content will also be unlocked in the Steam build of iRacing Arcade, further building on the experience. Additional licensed content will be added in DLC packs to be announced in the coming months.[/p][p][/p][p]For more information on iRacing Arcade, visit [/p][p]www.iRacingarcade.com[/p][p][/p][p]For more information on additional iRacing Studios titles, visit [/p][p]www.iracingstudios.com[/p][p][/p][p]

iRacing Arcade is zippy bumper cars from the folks behind the simmiest racing sim ever to sim racing simishly

iRacing's always scared me a bit. Not just because you pay for it with a subscription that I've never felt committed enough to proper online sim racing in one place to sign up for, but because it's serious. No giggling allowed. Obey the track limits, spend hours playing around with damper setups, do not touch my bumper or I'll call three different police forces level of serious. A 42 page-long official sporting code doc for members level of seriously serious.


iRacing Arcade, its new sibling with a Steam Next Fest demo, is thankfully not as serious.
