Gamers, start your engines!

IndyCar is revving up for racing action on consoles and PCs in 2026 with a brand new game from iRacing.com Motorsport Simulations. The series announced a long-term licensing agreement that will produce the first IndyCar game in over 20 years.

The game, set to release in the second half of 2026, will feature options to play on PlayStation, Xbox, and Steam. According to IndyCar, the game "will feature a robust, multilevel career mode, licensed drivers from the NTT INDYCAR SERIES and INDY NXT by Firestone, and online multiplayer."

“The most competitive and challenging racing on the planet deserves a dedicated and widely available gaming experience,” said IndyCar and Indianapolis Motor Speedway president Doug Boles. “iRacing Studios is the ideal partner for us, trusted and known to our core fans and ready to share our sport with a wider and highly engaged audience.”

Team Penske driver Scott McLaughlin has been working closely with developers to help create the game. He said, “I’m thrilled to be a part of the development process for iRacing Studios’ new INDYCAR title. It’s an honor to work with a team that has developed such amazing products to help deliver INDYCAR’s first dedicated title in quite some time. It’s already an exciting time to be an INDYCAR fan for so many reasons, and this game will take the fans’ at-home driving experience to the next level!”

The development comes on the heels of the success of the new Formula 1 game released in May. “INDYCAR fans have long been clamoring for a standalone title for consoles, and we’re excited to give them what they’re looking for in 2026,” said Tony Gardner, president, iRacing.com Motorsport Simulations. “iRacing Studios’ standalone INDYCAR title will offer all the excitement of the NTT INDYCAR SERIES and an immersive experience that fans of all ages can enjoy. We are already very excited about how the game is coming together.”
