What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for 4 core CPU or better – Some examples (but not limited to): AMD FX-6300, Intel Core i5-4430, Intel Core i5-2320, AMD Ryzen 3 1200, 16 GB RAM and A gaming graphics card with at least 4GB of DEDICATED memory – Some examples (but not limited to): Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 or AMD Radeon 570 or better. A 16GB memory requirement is demanding — worth checking before you buy, because 8GB is still common in older and budget machines. Install size is roughly 50GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
What it launched against
NASCAR 25 launched on 14 October 2025, within three weeks of Battlefield 6, Ghost of Yotei, Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 and ARC Raiders. All of them reviewed better. It arrived 5 years into the PlayStation 5's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: Battlefield 6, Ghost of Yotei, Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2, ARC Raiders.
