    NASCAR 25 is a solid debut from iRacing, with enjoyable driving and extensive setup options. Career mode feels thin, and the game lacks content like split-screen, more single-player modes, and expanded online multiplayer. Technical issues hold it back, but the core racing experience remains satisfying.

    NASCAR 25 is the perfect use of iRacing’s extensive catalogue of stock car racing tracks and cars, only targeted at people who aren’t particularly interested in joining the online crucible and competing often enough to make their subscription worthwhile. As a series, it has some distance to go before it can match the breadth of other licensed racing games bringing real-world motorsport to your couch or sim rig – like F1 – but as a debut, it impresses in several key areas. If you’re after a deep multiplayer experience you may want to circle back to iRacing, but if you want some quality, single-player stock car racing against extremely solid AI, NASCAR 25 delivers.

    NASCAR 25 aims to be the definitive next-gen NASCAR experience on Xbox Series X, delivering stunning visuals, authentic handling, and a deeper career mode. While the foundation is strong, persistent bugs, technical hiccups, and missing features keep it from reaching full speed. It’s a solid start for the series’ revival, just one major patch away from greatness
