A new trailer for iRacing’s cutesy sibling title, iRacing Arcade, has revealed that players currently giving the demo a spin can expect the title to arrive on December 2 — with console gamers joining in the fun early next year.
The date comes at the end of a pretty action-packed trailer that also gives some further insight into the content that’ll be available and some of the gameplay features that seem to cover a type of city-builder/kingdom-builder mechanism.
This will see you construct a base of operations for your global motorsport empire, starting with a bunch of shacks cobbled together from corrugated metal in an empty field. As you gain more success (and money) you can evolve this into a motorsports village with fancy neon buildings — the purposes and functions of which are yet to be revealed.
In addition you’ll be able to hire drivers, who appear to have different skills and abilities, as well as male and female body types, and customize celebrations and liveries.
However, that’s a bit of a sidequest (although likely an important one) to the driving itself, and the trailer revealed some more cars and tracks for the title.
A splash screen reveals a list of 12 tracks, some of which we’ve previously seen in brief glimpses of the title, but we also get to see some action at the Miami street circuit and Motorland Aragon as well as a third track that looks to be a fictional entry.
Notably, while we’ve previously supposed that iRacing Arcade could have access to the entire iRacing library, some of the circuits shown aren’t actually part of the more serious sim yet — Kyalami most notably — which could hint that they’ll make the journey in the opposite direction at some point.
The same thing applies to some of the cars too, with what looks like a fictional TCR mashup comprising equal parts Audi RS3 Sportback and Hyundai Elantra N, and an F1 car that looks almost current from the rear, a little older from the front, and sports a halo and what sounds like a V10…
Real-world series are represented though, with F4 and the Porsche Supercup being obvious examples, and the trailer also flagging a trio of IMSA series.
There’s still a couple of months until release, and we’ll hopefully find out more by the time the title launches in December. Console players only have a “Spring 2026” window at present, which should be a little more focused in due course.
