Biggest Fields Yet
For years, NASCAR games have promised big multiplayer battles. But until now, technical limits meant online lobbies were capped well below the size of a real Cup field. With NASCAR 25, that changes in a huge way.
iRacing Studios has confirmed that online races will support up to 40 players, finally bringing true Cup-sized chaos into your living room. It’s the largest online field ever featured in a NASCAR console game — and a game-changer for both casual fans and organized leagues.
The Magic of 40 Cars
In NASCAR, the Cup Series features full fields of 40 cars every weekend. That scale is part of what makes the sport so intense — three- and four-wide battles, giant packs at superspeedways, and the ever-present threat of “the Big One.”
By matching that number, NASCAR 25 makes its online racing feel closer than ever to the real thing. Whether you’re battling for the win or trying to survive mid-pack chaos, the experience will be authentic, unpredictable, and absolutely wild.
Public Lobbies for Quick Action
Not every player wants to commit to a full season or league. That’s why public matchmaking will be a huge draw.
- Jump in, race, and go — no setup required.
- Variety of tracks — superspeedways, short tracks, road courses, and more.
- Casual chaos — pack racing with 39 strangers is bound to create highlight-reel moments.
Think of it as the NASCAR equivalent of pickup basketball — fast, fun, and often unpredictable.
Private Leagues for Serious Racers
For dedicated players, NASCAR 25 also supports private leagues, letting groups of friends or communities create their own championships.
- Custom schedules: Choose tracks, race lengths, and rules.
- Invite-only access: Keep it competitive and clean.
- Season-long points battles: Just like the real Cup Series.
This mirrors what made iRacing’s PC service so popular: organized racing with structure, accountability, and storylines. Now, that level of depth is available on console.
A True Step Forward for NASCAR Gaming
Past NASCAR titles struggled to capture the scale of the sport. 16- or 20-player lobbies couldn’t recreate the intensity of 40 cars hurtling into Turn 1 at Daytona.
With NASCAR 25, that limitation is gone. Players can finally feel what it’s like to manage traffic, draft in giant packs, and survive the unpredictable mid-pack battles that define real NASCAR races.
By bringing full 40-car fields online, NASCAR 25 delivers one of its most exciting features yet. For casual fans, it means bigger lobbies, more chaos, and unforgettable moments. For serious racers, it means league racing that mirrors the real NASCAR Cup Series for the very first time on console.
Whether you’re looking for pick-up fun or season-long battles with friends, one thing is clear: the fields have never been bigger — or better.
