New dirt track racing game coming to console in 2022

iRacing helps to bring the first World of Outlaws video game in 10 years

Dirt racing games are rare in the console world. That’s set to be fixed.

iRacing is the leader in simulator racing within the PC world. With the purchase of a gaming studio, they’re set to bring their work to consoles.

In early April, iRacing and the World of Outlaws announced an extension of their partnership agreement. iRacing currently holds the exclusive partnership agreement for PC with the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series, World of Outlaws CASE Construction Equipment Late Model Series, Super DIRTcar Series, Xtreme Outlaw Series and DIRTcar.

Last year, iRacing purchased Monster Games. The studio already had a new dirt track game in development and now it’s going to be massively improved.

Since the purchase, the new dirt racing game has been updated and work continues. iRacing helped improve the product with both art and physics.

“We’ve had an exceptional partnership with iRacing and are thrilled to not only continue that relationship for many years but to expand it, as well,” said World Racing Group Client Services Executive Director Tish Sheets.

Sheets added, “Along with all of our Series and tracks having a presence in the PC simulation product, we’re all highly anticipating the release of the new World of Outlaws console game.”

The new dirt racing game will be released on Xbox and PlayStation. It will feature the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series.

Tony Gardner: iRacing

“We’ve been exploring the right opportunity for iRacing to move into the console gaming market for quite some time and are excited to partner with World of Outlaws in order to take this first step later this year,” said iRacing President Tony Gardner.

“iRacing’s acquisition of Monster Games (in 2021) enabled us to step in and help provide some improvements to this title while it was already in development, and we look forward to being able to contribute even more to MGI’s future titles.”

Gardner added, “We look to provide the dirt racing community with an engaging and fun console gaming experience.”

The new game marks the first World of Outlaws console game in 10 years.

Rich Garcia: Monster Games

“With iRacing’s resources, we were able to take extra time in development to add features and content that will provide a fun and realistic experience for everyone, from multiplayer online action to a career mode featuring real-world drivers and tracks,” said Monster Games Founder Rich Garcia.

Garcia added, “We’re excited to give the robust community and World of Outlaws’ passionate fanbase a console gaming experience that they’ve long craved.”’

Before the iRacing purchase, Monster Games previously developed popular games like NASCAR Heat and Dirt to Daytona.

In the release, only the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series was mentioned as a feature of the console game.
