The first IndyCar game in almost two decades will launch in 2023 on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC.
IndyCar has partnered with Motorsport Games to create and distribute video games for the popular open-wheeled racing series. Motorsport Games is the officially licensed video game developer and publisher for iconic motorsport racing series and events including NASCAR, 24 Hours of Le Mans, and the British Touring Car Championship.

“Our partnership with Motorsport Games will bring the fierce competition of the NTT INDYCAR SERIES to a global gaming audience hungry for quality motorsports content,” president and chief executive of IndyCar series parent company Penske Entertainment Group, Mark Miles, said. “Like the talent and depth of our field, INDYCAR’s universe continues to expand and grow rapidly. Motorsport Games is an industry leader with a track record of innovation, and we know our fans will have 2023 and the debut of this new NTT INDYCAR SERIES video game circled on their calendars.”
The last IndyCar video game launched in June 2004 in the form of IndyCar Series 2005, developed by Codemasters as the sixteenth officially licensed IndyCar game. It was based on the 2003 IndyCar Series season and received largely positive reviews but has not been followed up until now.
“Motorsport Games and INDYCAR are thrilled to provide fans with a long-overdue dedicated gaming experience,” chief executive of Motorsport Games Dmitry Kozko added. “After decades of world-class racing, we cannot think of a more deserving league for a video game franchise. INDYCAR shares our commitment to bringing authentic experiences to motor racing enthusiasts. Fans can anticipate the NTT INDYCAR SERIES to meet the same level of excellence and immersive gameplay they expect from Motorsport Games.”
