A build is one published version of the game's files on a branch. Steam assigns a new build ID every time the developer pushes an update, so this list is the update history of the app. The files inside a build (depot manifests) are only readable with an account that owns the game, which SteamRaw does not have yet, so build contents are not shown.

Fixed a rare crash that would sometimes happen when joining a multiplayer race.
Made all 4 paint kit slots available when playing with custom cars online (all series). Custom car shapes are now available for all 4 paint kit slots (previously not available in 4th slot) Fixed a visual issue with the victory scene at Portland International Raceway.

Updated Driver Ratings through 2025 season. Fixed an online issue with AI drivers sometimes being out of sync. Re-tuned AI Incident Slider.

Support for December DLC.
Added ability for the host to pause the countdown clock in password protected lobbies.
Fixed an issue where some players were getting a 'fatal error' when launching the game while running certain anti-virus programs.

Fixed an issue where some machines with lower end graphics cards could not load the game. Added ability to map controls directly from the splash screen. Added default mapping configurations for more wheel types. Added the option to create password protected private online lobbies.
NASCAR 25 does not support Steam Deck.
When it comes to sim-racing, I tend to prefer games with a lot of variety in the tracks and cars available. Games like Gran Turismo 7 and Assetto Corsa EVO offer a ton of cars and track layouts for the player to enjoy. With the release of NASCAR 25, I wondered if the opposite could still be true for fun and excitement. On its face, NASCAR 25 has a good racing background, being developed by iRacing Studios (arguably the most popular racing sim available today), and what it has that iRacing doesn’t is a dedicated career mode. That’s where most of my time with the game was spent, and my feelings
