NASCAR 25 Announces October 14 Release Date
For those who might have been unaware, Dale Earnhardt Jr. is a long-time gamer who has a history with the hobby. In years past, the legendary NASCAR racer has even gone to the trouble of building a PC from scratch, which is a time-tested rite of passage for many PC gaming enthusiasts. Although his work with iRacing began in 2020, Earnhardt Jr. has reportedly been a fan of racing sims since the 1990s, which explains his direct interest in crafting a truly great simulation experience for NASCAR 25.
CloseIn the past year alone, several NASCAR titles have been delisted, making it difficult for fans to play many of the previous games in this franchise. With that in mind, NASCAR 25 could soon become one of the best ways to experience this franchise on modern platforms. Whether this game will live up to the hype remains to be seen, but it's clear that iRacing and Dale Earnhardt Jr. have both put a lot of effort into the title, which will hopefully result in an excellent product upon release later this year.
