racing games offer lots of fun and excitement ranging from NASCAR simulators to kart fighters. While 2025 doesn't look to be the most profitable year in racing video games, there are still some exciting titles on the horizon that are sure to catch fans' attention. In 2025, racing games will come to all major platforms, including Xbox, PS5 and Nintendo Switch.
Some racing games feature subgenres, such as simulation and sports, that appeal to multiple players. Then there are the strictly racing games that focus purely on speed, excitement, and high-octane competition. Much like 2024's batch of racing games, 2025 is preparing to offer a mix of experiences for fans of the genre, with lots of action and retro-inspired racing games.
The biggest racing games of 2025
An untitled NASCAR game expected in the fourth quarter
The racing game genre doesn't look to see a huge increase in games in 2025. However, there are some racing games worth noting that have fans of the genre excited. For example, Sonic Race: CrossWorlds was announced during The Game Awards 2024. The cinematic trailer doesn't reveal much, but it does show Shadow running. The game is confirmed for last and current generation PlayStation and Xbox consoles, PC and Nintendo Switch.
There's also an untitled iRacing NASCAR game coming to consoles in the fourth quarter. At this time, platforms for the game have not been announced, but it has been officially announced in April 2024 for home consoles. Both the NASCAR game and Sonic Race: CrossWorlds have release windows for 2025, but there are no specific dates yet.
