Motorsport Games keeps the sim racing community updated with the latest update for NASCAR 21 Ignition.
Being open and clear on the intentions of games in the sim racing genre is extremely important, Motorsport Games gives an update on the latest NASCAR 21 Ignition update
It has been a few months since we last updated the community about the path forward for the NASCAR console gaming product. Our team has been working hard behind the scenes on optimizing NASCAR 21: Ignition, while also preparing for the 2022 content drop.
The latest update for NASCAR 21: Ignition is now available on all consoles. This free update optimizes NASCAR 21: Ignition for the next generation of consoles, Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5.
Patch 1.5.1.0 is entirely free to all users that own NASCAR 21: Ignition and will be a free upgrade for anyone that purchases the product moving forward.
This free upgrade patch took a bit longer than originally anticipated, but our team have been working closely with the first parties to ensure NASCAR 21: Ignition functions properly on these next gen consoles.
Here are the main areas that have been addressed with this latest patch update:
- 4K resolution at 30 FPS for Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5
- 4k upscaling at 30FPS for Xbox Series S
- Online cross-generation console gameplay
- Save imports from previous generation consoles
- Support for PlayStation 5 activities
Additionally, all users – regardless of console generation – will also receive a bug fix for Career Mode where players were appearing under their car, some lighting issues at night tracks, stats being displayed incorrectly for stages in the standings menu, and much more.
The development team has already made many strides toward the upcoming 2022 Season Expansion for Sony, Microsoft, and Steam. We are eager to bring you the cars, tracks, teams, and schemes from this historic season.
Our goal continues to be to provide fun and accessible racing games to a passionate, growing, and dedicated fan base. We look forward to striving toward that goal throughout the remainder of the 2022 calendar year and beyond, as we continue to develop and bring everyone fun and thrilling motorsport games.
Thank you,
Jay Pennell, Brand Manger
