A first taste was given in the form of the official gameplay trailer released on Wednesday, July 29, 2026, before gamers can compete themselves from mid-September in the NASCAR Cup Series, O’Reilly Auto Parts Series, Craftsman Truck Series, and ARCA Menards Series.
With Dynamic Track technology, a cross-platform multiplayer mode, an improved driving model, burnout celebration sequences, a standalone The Chase mode, and a brand-new Peak Performance training mode, it is officially promised to be the “biggest gameplay evolution to date, and thus the most authentic NASCAR experience ever on a console.”

From the car handling, to the development of the tracks, to cross-platform play that brings the community together. This is the most comprehensive and authentic NASCAR console game we have ever released.”
