Before we wrap things up for the Christmas holiday, there’s a crucial update for racing game enthusiasts: a notable PS5 and PS4 racing game series is on the brink of disappearing from digital shelves permanently. Gamers have until December 31 to purchase any of the NASCAR games, along with their downloadable content, before they vanish from all digital storefronts, including the PlayStation Store.
If you’re a fan of PS5 or PS4 NASCAR racing titles, there’s a silver lining—many of these games are currently priced at $20 or less on the PS Store. On top of that, some editions include free bonus content, like the NASCAR Heat 3 – Hendrick Motorsports Test Scheme Pack, adding extra value to your purchase.
One standout deal is NASCAR Arcade Rush, which is currently 70% off in the latest PS Store sale, bringing its price down to just $15. If you’re a PS Plus Extra subscriber, you’re in luck—NASCAR Heat 5 is part of the catalog, allowing you free play until the end of December.
Here’s a reminder of the complete list of ten NASCAR titles set to be removed from all platforms:
– NASCAR 15: Victory Edition
– NASCAR Rivals
– NASCAR 21: Ignition
– NASCAR Heat Mobile
– NASCAR Heat Evolution
– NASCAR Heat Ultimate Edition
– NASCAR Heat 2
– NASCAR Heat 3
– NASCAR Heat 4
– NASCAR Heat 5
For those who already own any of these games, don’t worry—you’ll still have access to them even after the December 31 cutoff.
Looking ahead, the future of the NASCAR video game franchise takes a thrilling turn as the license has been picked up by iRacing. They’re already revving up development for NASCAR 25, slated to hit the tracks in the fall of 2025.
