iRacing Arcade, the first title of the Original Fire Games developer under the iRacing umbrella, arrives next week in the form of a free demo available on Steam. We will see if the mix of real conditions and lovely graphics proves successful.
iRacing Arcade, the exciting new collaboration between iRacing and Original Fire Games, will release its demo on Steam on Monday, October 13. To celebrate the release, the iRacing Arcade logos will appear on the #85 JDC-Miller MotorSports Porsche 963 GTP competing at this weekend’s IMSA Motul Petit Le Mans with iRacing-to-reality driver Max Esterson behind the wheel.
The iRacing Arcade demo will give gamers their first look at the game’s fast, fun, and approachable style of driving. Take the wheel of the officially licensed Porsche 911 GT3 Cup car on Tsukuba Circuit for a quick race to get a feel for what you’ll see in the full game experience. Tire wear, fuel burn, and damage will all be active for a racing experience unlike any you’ve ever played before.
Esterson is one of the top iRacers in the world, having won numerous championships on the sim and serving as tutor for real-world racing legends like Scott Dixon and Richard Westbrook. He channeled his virtual success into the real world competing for the last two years in FIA Formula 2 and FIA Formula 3, with successes in the past including big wins in both the Formula Ford Festival and Walter Hayes Trophy, two of the biggest Formula Ford events in the world, before helping iRacing bring his Ray FF1600 into the sim. Now, Esterson will partner with Tijmen van Der Helm and Neel Jani in the IMSA season finale.
“I’m thrilled to continue my partnership with iRacing by representing iRacing Arcade at Petit Le Mans,” said Esterson. “GTP racing is some of the best competition in the world and a fun new challenge. iRacing Arcade will be the same for racing gamers of all ages and skill sets, with its unique aesthetic and ease of play. I can’t wait for people to get their hands on the demo!”
“IMSA is thrilled to welcome iRacing Arcade to this year’s Motul Petit Le Mans,” said Brandon Huddleston, IMSA’s Vice President of Partnership Marketing and Business Development. “Our major presence in the game, including the premier GTP class, is a strategic way for us to reach new and younger audiences away from the racetrack. We’re looking forward to the demo release and we can’t wait to see what people think of the full game when it drops later this year.”
iRacing Arcade is designed for race fans of all ages to pick up and play. The game features pocket-sized versions of some of real-world racing’s most famous cars and circuits. Build your motorsport legacy in an engaging career mode that sees you develop team facilities, unlock boosts, and climb through the racing ranks, or hit the global time attack leaderboards to post the fastest laps.
iRacing Arcade will hit Steam later this year and console in early 2026. For more information on the game, visit www.iRacingarcade.com. To watch Max Esterson and iRacing Arcade take on Petit Le Mans, tune in to NBC or Peacock on October 11 at noon ET/9AM PT.
