Are you ready to fire up your engines? Because the wait is almost over! NASCAR '25 is officially primed and ready for auto-download on your PlayStation 5, meaning you're just days away from experiencing the thrill of the track. But here's where it gets controversial... is this the racing game we've all been waiting for, or will it fall short of expectations?
Let's dive into what's happening:
iRacing's highly anticipated NASCAR console game, NASCAR '25, is now available for pre-download via the PlayStation Store (link provided for your convenience: https://store.playstation.com/en-us/product/UP1456-PPSA28723_00-NASCAR25GOLDEDIT#all-notices). This is fantastic news for those who've already pre-ordered, as it allows you to get the game downloaded and installed, ensuring you're ready to race the moment it unlocks.
Early Access vs. Standard Edition: If you opted for the standard edition, you'll be able to unleash your inner racer starting Monday, October 14th, at the stroke of midnight. However, if you splurged on the Gold Edition, you get the green light even earlier, hitting the track on Saturday, October 9th, also at midnight. Think of it as a VIP pass to the starting line!

NASCAR '25 itself requires a manageable 46.152 GB of storage. And this is the part most people miss... remember to factor in additional space for future updates and downloadable content (DLC), which will undoubtedly expand the game's content and features over time. Consider deleting those games you haven't touched in months to make room for the roar of the engines!
Choosing Your Edition: Still on the fence about which version of NASCAR '25 to purchase? Each edition comes with its own unique set of bonuses, with pre-order perks sweetening the deal for the standard edition. To help you make an informed decision, we've broken down the price tiers and bonuses for each edition in a dedicated article (link: https://dailydownforce.com/iracing-reveals-pre-order-and-price-tiers-for-nascar-25/). Check it out to see which package best suits your racing needs and budget.
A Long-Awaited Return: NASCAR '25 marks the triumphant return of NASCAR console gaming after a significant hiatus. It's the first NASCAR console title since 2021's NASCAR 21: Ignition, ending a long wait that began in October 2023 when iRacing announced its acquisition of the coveted NASCAR license. This acquisition promised a new era of authenticity and realism in NASCAR gaming, raising expectations sky-high.
