Worth PlayingTony "OUberLord" MiteraMar 20269/10
There are two groups I see iRacing Arcade appealing to the most: people who are new to racing games in general and people who want something racing-themed for some unserious fun. It's a bit brilliant that iRacing Arcade sets up the former with a pipeline to get into the more serious iRacing platform. Despite having my own iRacing account and a significant sim racing setup of my own, I had a lot of fun with iRacing Arcade. It is a simpler game, not in a way that makes it feel inferior, but in a way that makes it stand out as an option to just get in some quick, casual racing fun.

iRacing Arcade is a racing and "management" game developed by iRacing. Derived from the original iRacing game, iRacing Arcade blends classic championship racing with a minimalist aesthetic, where the cars look almost like toys, with a campus management system where you can create structures like garages, engineering facilities, etc., to gain boosts, upgrades for your cars in terms of engine and damage, as well as other adjustments. You have the option of having some AI racers, as well as acquiring new cars, colors, helmets, and outfits for your driver.

If your time is precious and you’re looking for a racer that’s easy to pick up and play, iRacing Arcade is well worth your time. You can jump into the cockpit for a quick race or explore the game’s deeper features when you have more time to spare. And with cross-platform multiplayer, you can even race against friends regardless of which system they play on.

With chaotic racing and AI that shows no regard for those around them, iRacing Arcade has its moments of fun on the track and in career mode. Unfortunately, it's held back by limited options and a poor multiplayer experience.

iRacing Arcade finds itself stuck in a strange personality limbo, never committing enough to either side of the racing spectrum to stand out among the dozens upon dozens of similar games released every year. It might have the pedigree and endorsement of one of the biggest names in racing simulation behind it, but ultimately, it lacks the focus, personality, and polish needed to truly make an impression.
