Originally scheduled to launch at the start of December, the iRacing Arcade release is delayed until February 2026 for the PC, with console versions still arriving later in the same year.
A demo allowing you to try out the Porsche Cup car at Tsukuba arrived in October, and is still available with more than 100,000 downloads via Steam. Apparently the extra time before the PC release will be used for ‘further playtesting and additional polish on gameplay and career mode’.
“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.”
While an exact date isn’t available, it has been confimed that the price of iRacing Arcade for the PC will be $24.99. And along with the 14 circuits and cars included at launch, the console versions will arrive with ‘additional car and track content’, which will also be available for the PC edition, along with licensed DLC pack content due to be announced.
Originally announced back in 2024, iRacing Arcade is being developed by Original Fire Games in partnership with iRacing. The developers originally created Circuit Superstars and the new title builds on that with the iRacing brand.
The car and circuit lists are largely carried across from iRacing, with the addition of two fictional tracks carried over from Circuit Superstars. And three which have not yet been added to iRacing itself, with Bahrain International Circuit, Kyalami, and Circuit Paul Ricard. It’s already confirmed that both Bahrain and Paul Ricard are being worked on, so presumably Kyalami will follow.
In any case, you can try out the demo and wishlist iRacing Arcade for the PC via Steam. And keep up with all the latest iRacing Arcade news, updates, DLC and more, here.
