NASCAR 26's Steam listing confirms iRacing.com Motorsport Simulations, LLC as both developer and publisher, plus specific minimum and recommended PC requirements — and a hard rule that Mac or virtual-machine setups aren't supported.
What's Confirmed
Steam lists single-player, online PvP, Steam Achievements, Steam Cloud saves, and Family Sharing as supported features. System requirements, per Steam's listed specs:
| Tier | CPU | GPU |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum | 4-core (e.g. AMD FX-6300, Intel Core i5-4430, Intel Core i5-2320, AMD Ryzen 3 1200) | 4GB dedicated VRAM (e.g. GTX 1060, Radeon 570) |
| Recommended | 8-core or more (e.g. Intel Core i9-10980XE @3.0GHz, i9-9900KS @4.00GHz, AMD Ryzen 9 3900X/3950X) | 8GB dedicated VRAM |
Steam's listing explicitly notes that a physical PC running Windows is required — Mac hardware and virtual machines running PC emulation are not supported, so there's no path to running NASCAR 26 on macOS through Steam's listed configuration.
Steam also hosts separate product pages for a "September Pack" and a "Season Pass," confirming additional DLC exists beyond the base Standard/Gold Edition split covered in the Pricing hub; this guide doesn't detail their specific contents since that wasn't part of the pages reviewed.
What's Still Unconfirmed
Steam Deck compatibility/verification status is not confirmed by any source reviewed for this guide — given the minimum 4GB VRAM and 4-core CPU requirement, Steam Deck compatibility is plausible but UNCONFIRMED.
