MIRAMAR, FL – January 20, 2026 – Motorsport Games Inc. (NASDAQ: MSGM) (“Motorsport Games” or “the Company”), a racing game developer, publisher, and esports ecosystem provider of official motorsport series including Le Mans Ultimate, is pleased to share the title’s nomination for the Autosport “Pioneering & Innovation” Award.

This award nomination recognizes initiatives that advance motorsport through technology, engagement, and innovation and will be presented to the winner in a ceremony on Wednesday 21^st January 2026 in London, England. The nomination places Le Mans Ultimate alongside leading projects across the global motorsport industry and underscores the title’s strong position within the racing simulation market.

Additionally, since the deployment of the Version 1.2 update in December, Le Mans Ultimate has recorded its highest concurrent player counts to date, reflecting sustained and growing engagement across the global simulation racing audience. The update delivered a broad set of content and platform improvements, including expanded European Le Mans Series integration, physics and handling refinements, the addition of Team races to the online championship system, and quality-of-life improvements driven by community feedback. Management views the resulting uplift in player activity as validation of the Company’s product roadmap and live-service development strategy.

Peak concurrent players since the verion 1.2 update are over 4 times higher than the same month last year with a peak of 8,740 on January 3, 2026 which co-incides with our live service offering of the “6 Hours of Monza”. This increase in player numbers is also reflected in the demand for online races with 12.5 million laps driven on our RaceControl online service in December which is an increase of 608% compared to the same month in the prior year.

“Post-update engagement trends demonstrate that our continued investment in product quality, authenticity, and community-driven development is resonating with players,” commented Stephen Hood, President and Chief Executive Officer of Motorsport Games. “The Autosport Awards nomination further validates our long-term strategy of building premium, officially licensed motorsport platforms that can grow durable audiences over time.”

The post Motorsport Games Receives Autosport “Pioneering & Innovation” Award Nomination For Le Mans Ultimate and Reports Strong Player Engagement Growth Following Version 1.2 Update appeared first on Motorsport Games.

MIRAMAR, Florida –November 6, 2025 — Motorsport Games Inc. (NASDAQ: MSGM) (“Motorsport Games” or “the Company”) today reported financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2025. The Company has also posted the third quarter 2025 earnings slides highlighting key milestones that occurred during the period, which are accessible on the Company’s investor relations website.

“We are very pleased to once again generate net income for the Company this quarter” commented Stephen Hood, President and Chief Executive Officer of Motorsport Games. “We believe this sustained increased revenue, primarily driven by our Le Mans Ultimate title, alongside improved profitability showcases our markedly improved operational efficiency and that our products are showcasing market fit.”

“Q3 2025 player engagement statistics have been particularly pleasing, reaching all new heights of daily and peak concurrent users for Le Mans Ultimate, particularly around the Version 1.0 release out of Early Access and following that with incredible sales and attachment rates for the release of the European Le Mans Series (“ELMS”) content in late September.”

“With improving financial stability, we believe the Company now has the ability to forge a new path utilizing the unique technology we own and continue to advance. I’m delighted to announce a console port of Le Mans Ultimate is now in early production and the Company is looking forward bringing this unique experience to PlayStation and Xbox gaming consoles with a current estimated delivery between late 2026 and early 2027.”

Third Quarter 2025 Business Update

Select Financial Highlights for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2025

Consolidated revenue for the third quarter of 2025 was approximately $3.1 million compared to approximately $1.8 million for the same period in the prior year, an increase of approximately $1.3 million, or 71.9%. Gross profit was $2.5 million compared to $1.1 million for the same period in the prior year, an increase of $1.4 million, while gross profit margin increased to 80.7% from 60.2%.

Net income for the third quarter of 2025 was $0.8 million, compared to net loss of $0.6 million for the same period in the prior year, an improvement of approximately $1.4 million or 234.1%. The increase in net income is driven by an increase in consolidated revenue of $1.3 million, decreases of $1.3 million and $0.1 million in operating expenses and cost of revenues, respectively, offset by a decrease of $1.4 million in other operating income. Net income attributable to Class A common stock was $0.14 per share for the third quarter of 2025, compared to net loss per share of $0.18 for the same period in the prior year.

Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ for the third quarter of 2025 was $1.1 million, compared to $0.1 million for the same period in the prior year. The improvement in Adjusted EBITDA of $1.0 million was primarily due to the same factors driving the previously discussed change in net income for the third quarter of 2025 when compared to the same period in the prior year, as well as a decrease in stock-based compensation compared to the prior year period.

The following table provides a reconciliation from net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ for the third quarter of 2025 and 2024, respectively:

Cash Flow and Liquidity

As of September 30, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $4.1 million, which increased to $4.5 million as of October 31, 2025. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company generated an average positive cash flow from operations of approximately $0.3 million per month that was primarily due to increased profitability, $0.8 million from the Wesco Insurance Company settlement in June 2025 and $0.5 million from a settlement agreement with HC2 Holdings 2 Inc. in March 2025.

⁽¹⁾Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA (the “Non-GAAP Measure”) is not a financial measure defined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Reconciliations of the Non-GAAP Measure to net income (loss), its most directly comparable financial measure, calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, are presented in the tables above.

Adjusted EBITDA, a measure used by management to assess our operating performance, is defined as EBITDA, which is net income (loss) plus interest expense, depreciation and amortization, less income tax benefit (if any), adjusted to exclude: (i) gain from settlement of license liabilities and other agreements; (ii) impairment of intangible assets; (iii) loss contingency expense; and (iv) stock-based compensation expenses.

The Company uses the Non-GAAP Measure to manage its business and evaluate its financial performance, as Adjusted EBITDA eliminates items that affect comparability between periods that the Company believes are not representative of its core ongoing operating business. Additionally, management believes that using the Non-GAAP Measure is useful to its investors because it enhances investors’ understanding and assessment of the Company’s normalized operating performance and facilitates comparisons to prior periods and its competitors’ results (who may define Adjusted EBITDA differently).

The Non-GAAP Measure is not a recognized term under U.S. GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to revenue, income from operations, net income, or cash flows from operations or as a measure of liquidity or any other performance measure derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Additionally, the Non-GAAP Measure is not intended to be a measure of free cash flows available for management’s discretionary use, as it does not consider certain cash requirements, such as interest payments, tax payments, working capital requirements and debt service requirements. The Non-GAAP Measure has limitations as an analytical tool, and investors should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for the Company’s results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Management compensates for the limitations of using the Non-GAAP Measure by using it to supplement U.S. GAAP results to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the business than would be presented by using only measures in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, the Non-GAAP Measure may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

Conference Call and Webcast Details

The Company will host a conference call and webcast at 5:00 p.m. ET today, November 6, 2025, to discuss its financial results.

MIAMI, Florida –August 13, 2025 — Motorsport Games Inc. (NASDAQ: MSGM) (“Motorsport Games” or “the Company”) today reported financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2025. The Company has also posted the second quarter 2025 earnings slides highlighting key milestones that occurred during and subsequent to the period, which are accessible on the Company’s investor relations website.

“Q2 2025 has been an incredible period of growth for our Company” commented Stephen Hood, President and Chief Executive Officer of Motorsport Games. “The Le Mans Ultimate team at Studio 397 utilized greatly the attention that the ‘real-world’ 24 hours of Le Mans attracts and delivered key features alongside strong marketing messaging to great effect. The result of which has been record player activity and greatly increased revenues year-over-year for the product.”

“Our recently announced expansion downloadable content (“DLC”) for Le Mans Ultimate to include the European Le Mans Series is also designed to continue this trend going forward” continued Hood. “We expect to deliver a first taste of this additional content to eager players at the end of Q3 2025.”

“Now on a more solid financial footing, the Company is committed to undertaking efforts to further grow both the Le Mans franchise and possible future new titles to bolster our portfolio and diversify our income streams.”

Second Quarter 2025 and Subsequent Business Update

 Select Financial Highlights for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2025

Consolidated revenue for the second quarter of 2025 was approximately $2.6 million compared to approximately $1.9 million for the same period in the prior year, an increase of approximately $0.7 million, or 37.7%. Gross profit was $2.1 million compared to $1.1 million for the same period in the prior year, an increase of $1.0 million, while gross profit margin increased to 82.4% from 59.0%.

Net income for the second quarter of 2025 was $4.2 million, compared to net income of $2.1 million for the same period in the prior year, an improvement of approximately $2.1 million or 103.0%. The increase in net income is driven by an increase in consolidated revenue of $0.7 million, other operating income of $1.1 million, which includes $0.8 million from the Wesco Insurance Company settlement and $0.3 million related to discounts negotiated on a few outstanding vendor invoices. Net income attributable to Class A common stock was $0.82 per share for the second quarter of 2025, compared to net income of $0.77 for the same period in the prior year.

Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ for the second quarter of 2025 was $3.7 million, compared to an Adjusted EBITDA loss⁽¹⁾ of $0.5 million for the same period in the prior year. The improvement in Adjusted EBITDA of $4.2 million was primarily due to the same factors driving the previously discussed change in net income for the second quarter of 2025 when compared to the same period in the prior year, as well as a decrease in stock-based compensation compared to the prior year period.

The following table provides a reconciliation from net income to Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ for the second quarter of 2025 and 2024, respectively:

Cash Flow and Liquidity

As of June 30, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2.4 million, which increased to $2.8 million as of July 31, 2025. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company generated an average positive cash flow from operations of approximately $46,000 per month that was primarily due to $0.8 million from the Wesco Insurance Company settlement in June 2025 and $0.5 million from a settlement agreement with HC2 Holdings 2 Inc. in March 2025. While it has taken, and continues to take measures to reduce its costs, the Company expects to have a net cash outflow from operations for the foreseeable future as it continues to develop its product portfolio and invest in developing new video game titles.

The Company’s future liquidity and capital requirements include funds to support the planned costs to operate its business, including amounts required to fund working capital, support the development and introduction of new products, maintain existing titles, and certain capital expenditures.

On July 29, 2024, the Company completed a registered direct offering of shares of common stock and pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of common stock and concurrent private placement of warrants to purchase shares of common stock with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC acting as the exclusive placement agent, which offerings raised approximately $1.0 million in gross proceeds before deducting the placement agent’s fees and other offering expenses. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from this offering for working capital and general corporate purposes.

On April 11, 2025, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with several institutional and accredited investors for the issuance and sale in a private placement (the “Private Placement”) of the following securities for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $2.5 million: (i) 1,894,892 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 (the “Class A Common Stock”) and (ii) a pre-funded warrant (the “Pre-Funded Warrant”) to purchase up to 377,836 shares of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share. The purchase price for one share of Class A Common Stock was $1.10 and the purchase price for one pre-funded warrant was $1.0999 per share, representing a premium of approximately 33% to the closing price of the Company’s Class A common stock as of April 10, 2025. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $2.35 million from the Private Placement, after deducting offering expenses paid by the Company. The Company intends to use the net proceeds received from the Private Placement primarily for working capital and general corporate expenses and other strategic initiatives approved by the Company’s board of directors.

⁽¹⁾Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA (the “Non-GAAP Measure”) is not a financial measure defined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Reconciliations of the Non-GAAP Measure to net income, its most directly comparable financial measure, calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, are presented in the tables above.

The Company uses the Non-GAAP Measure to manage its business and evaluate its financial performance, as Adjusted EBITDA eliminates items that affect comparability between periods that the Company believes are not representative of its core ongoing operating business.

The post Motorsport Games to Report Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2024 Financial Results appeared first on Motorsport Games.

MIAMI, Florida – Feb 25, 2025 — Motorsport Games Inc. (NASDAQ: MSGM) (“Motorsport Games” or “the Company”) is today releasing the next update for “Le Mans Ultimate”, the official game of the FIA World Endurance Championship and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. This latest update increases the content available to players by adding three more LMGT3 category cars along with significant quality of life improvements.

Head-turning LMGT3 machinery from supercar manufacturers Porsche and Aston Martin form the contents of “2024 Pack 4”. The Aston Martin Vantage AMR LMGT3 is a second-generation car from the famous British marque, ever present in sportscar racing. From Porsche, the 911 GT3 R LMGT3, powered by the iconic flat-6 engine, won the 2024 edition of the iconic 24 Hours of Le Mans and the FIA World Endurance Trophy in the LMGT3 category. Both cars offer distinct racing experiences based on highly detailed physics development and unique car attributes.

Additionally, the distinctive Ford Mustang LMGT3 muscle car, will be added for free for all Early Access players, as a separate DLC item available directly on the Steam store. This car joins the other free LMGT3 car, the McLaren 720S LMGT3 Evo, released to all players in the December update. Both cars will allow players to compete against drivers and AI in DLC cars in both online and offline race modes.

Significant physics development has been undertaken to the LMGT3 tyre model in this release. Players can expect the overall feeling to be more realistic and stable, following extensive collaboration with real-world drivers and the incorporation of detailed real-world data provided.

2024 Pack 4 is on sale at an early access price of £5.99 / €6.49 / $6.99 or users can purchase the Season Pass for £39.99 / €46.99 / $48.99. The Season Pass includes five packs in total with Pack 1, 2 and 3 already released in July, September, and December 2024 respectively. The RaceControl Pro+, available at www.racecontrol.gg, also unlocks DLC content whilst the subscription is live, offering players more choice about how they access this content. The remaining “2025 Pack 5” is expected for players to enjoy in May 2025 and is scheduled to include one additional circuit (Lusail International Circuit) and two more LMGT3 cars. This will coincide with the next major game update, also scheduled for May 2025 and expected to include highly anticipated features requested by the community, including live multiplayer driver swaps and team functionality.

“As always, we are delighted to bring more content and improvements to Le Mans Ultimate” commented Stephen Hood, CEO and President of Motorsport Games. “The last update in December 2024 brought a significant increase in players to the game whilst increasing play time and reducing churn. We believe these improvements, new cars and additional circuit layouts will delight the game’s fans and keep them engaged with a game that continues to move in a positive direction.”

To purchase Le Mans Ultimate, the Season Pass, or individual DLC Packs, visit Le Mans Ultimate on Steam. Head to www.racecontrol.gg to configure private servers or subscribe RaceControl Pro or Pro+, the latter  of which unlocks all DLC content with a live subscription.

Le Mans, France, Wednesday, 14 June 2023. Le Mans Ultimate – the official game of the 24 Hours of Le Mans and FIA World Endurance Championship – was announced ahead of the eagerly-anticipated Centenary edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans (June 10/11), with a first look available for fans to play during the build-up to the ultimate endurance race.

An early version of the game developed by Studio 397 and Motorsport Games Inc. (the “Company” or “Motorsport Games”) was available in the Family Fan Village for race goers of all ages to try an early build preview presented by Thrustmaster. The free to play activation allowed over 3,200 fans to get behind the wheel of either the Porsche 963 Hypercar or Ferrari 488 GTE on full rig set-ups. The session around a virtual Circuit de la Sarthe gave drivers a chance to echo the real-life action taking place race around the legendary venue, using with the latest products from Thrustmaster, including the entry-level T248 wheel or bespoke sim racing Direct Drive T818.

Among those sampling an early version of the PC-based game was factory Porsche Penske Motorsport driver Matt Campbell and Porsche Coanda Esports Racing Team star Joshua Rogers who put the Porsche 963 Hypercar through its paces. Ferrari was also represented, as Scuderia Ferrari Esports drivers Timotej Andonovski and Alex Siebel were on hand to give feedback on the Ferrari 488 GTE machine.

Further to the presence in the fan zone, the traditional pre-event press conference organised by the Automobile Club de l’Ouest (ACO) saw the premiere of the first teaser video for the game [LINK], alongside the news of the 2024 FIA World Endurance Championship calendar and Hydrogen prototype plans from Toyota, the first manufacturer to announce plans for the new-for-2026 category.

In conjunction with the week-long activation, the Le Mans Ultimate Steam store went live. This will enable PC gamers to add the title to their Wishlist, so they can be kept up to date with the latest developments ahead of the expected release in December 2023 – bit.ly/LeMansUltimateOnSteam

Stephen Hood, CEO Motorsport Games commented, “After months of planning, it was fantastic to see the reaction for Le Mans Ultimate, from not only the gaming, but the motorsport community – a welcome surprise for many during the build-up to the 100^th anniversary of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. We were able to show the public an early version of the game as well as listening to their stories of the iconic event, and gather feedback for the game; its vitally important we do that as often as we can in the run up to release. We want to make this experience as realistic and enjoyable as possible and we will be taking feedback onboard from the public as well as working closely with the manufacturers, FIA WEC and the ACO to bring the ultimate experience to the game.”

The post Covers Pulled Off Le Mans Ultimate Game at Centenary 24 Hours of Le Mans appeared first on Motorsport Games.

MIAMI, May 11, 2023 — Motorsport Games Inc. (NASDAQ: MSGM) (“Motorsport Games” or the “Company”) today reported financial results for its first fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2023. The Company has also posted a Q1 2023 Review video and Q1 2023 earnings slides highlighting key milestones that occurred in the period, which are accessible on the Company’s investor relations website. All share data and share-based calculations set forth in this press release have been adjusted to reflect the Company’s 1-for-10 reverse stock split completed on November 10, 2022 on a retroactive basis for the periods presented.

Stephen Hood, Chief Executive Officer of Motorsport Games, commented, “I am incredibly passionate about the world of motorsport, and I see a tremendous opportunity for growth and innovation in this exciting industry. I am pleased to be able to rejoin Motorsport Games as CEO and lead this team in driving the company forward. With our expertise in racing game development, esports, and broadcasting, I believe we are increasingly well-positioned to capitalize on the growing demand for immersive motorsport experiences and create new opportunities for fans and participants around the world.”

I am firm in my belief about what can be achieved and hope to be a catalyst in a change of fortunes for the Motorsport Games business.”

First Quarter 2023 Business Update

Select Financial Highlights

The Company reported a net loss for the first quarter of 2023 (“2023”) of $5.3 million, or $2.33 per share, compared to a net loss of $16.0 million, or $12.97, for the first quarter of 2022 (“2022”). The Company also reported an Adjusted EBITDA loss for 2023 of $4.3 million, compared to an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $5.6 million for the same period in the prior year. The Company benefited from no impairment losses in 2023, compared to $9.3 million of impairment losses in 2022, with the remaining $1.4 million reduction in net loss primarily due to reduced external marketing spend and lower payroll costs in 2023 when compared to 2022, as a result of the actions taken under the Company’s previously announced 2022 Restructuring Program.

Revenue for 2023 was $1.7 million compared to $3.3 million for the same period in the prior year, a reduction of $1.6 million, or 48%. The Company experienced less favorable pricing and lower volume of digital sales in its existing product portfolio, as well as lower physical retail sales, in 2023 when compared to 2022.

Quarterly Financial Highlights

The following table provides a reconciliation from net loss to Adjusted EBITDA loss for 2023 and 2022, respectively:

Cash Flow and Liquidity

As of March 31, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $5.8 million. During 2023, the Company had negative cash flows from operations of approximately $5.7 million, representing an average monthly net cash burn from operations of approximately $1.9 million. The Company expects to continue to incur significant operating expenses as it develops its product portfolio and, as a result, expects to have negative cash flows from operations for the foreseeable future until its product base is suitably established to create sufficient revenues and cash inflows to support the Company’s operations .

As of April 30, 2023, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents has reduced further to $4.9 million. Based on this cash and cash equivalents position, and the Company’s average cash burn, the Company does not believe it has sufficient cash on hand to fund its operations for the remainder of 2023 and that additional funding will be required in order to continue operations. The Company will need to supplement its available liquidity with additional debt and/or equity financing, as well as ongoing cost control initiatives.

The Company’s future liquidity and capital requirements include funds to support the planned costs to operate its business, including amounts required to fund working capital, support the development and introduction of new products, maintain existing game titles and certain capital expenditures. The adequacy of the Company’s available funds generally depends on many factors, including its ability to successfully develop consumer-preferred new products or enhancements to its existing products, continued development and expansion of the Company’s esports platform and its ability to collaborate with and/or acquire other companies or technologies to enhance or complement the Company’s product and service offerings.

The Company is currently seeking additional funds through a variety of arrangements and through maintaining and enhancing strong cost controls. There can be no assurances that the sources of liquidity referred to above will provide the Company with sufficient liquidity to meet its ongoing cash requirements as, among other things, the Company’s liquidity can be impacted by a number of factors, including the Company’s level of sales and expenditures, as well as accounts receivable, sales allowances, prepaid manufacturing expenses and accrued expenses.

⁽¹⁾ Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA (the “Non-GAAP Measure”) is not a financial measure defined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Reconciliations of the Non-GAAP Measure to net loss, its most directly comparable financial measure, calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, are presented in the tables above.

Adjusted EBITDA, a measure used by management to assess the Company’s operating performance, is defined as EBITDA, which is net loss plus interest expense, depreciation and amortization, less income tax benefit (if any), adjusted to exclude: (i) acquisition related expenses; (ii) stock-based compensation expenses; (iii) impairment of goodwill and intangible assets; and (iv) other charges or gains resulting from non-recurring events, if any.

The Company uses the Non-GAAP Measure to manage its business and evaluate its financial performance, as Adjusted EBITDA eliminates items that affect comparability between periods that the Company believes are not representative of its core ongoing operating business. Additionally, management believes that using the Non-GAAP Measure is useful to its investors because it enhances investors’ understanding and assessment of the Company’s normalized operating performance and facilitates comparisons to prior periods and its competitors’ results (who may define Adjusted EBITDA differently).

The Non-GAAP Measure is not a recognized term under U.S. GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to revenue, income/loss from operations, net (loss) income, or cash flows from operations or as a measure of liquidity or any other performance measure derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Additionally, the Non-GAAP Measure is not intended to be a measure of free cash flows available for management’s discretionary use, as it does not consider certain cash requirements, such as interest payments, tax payments, working capital requirements and debt service requirements. The Non-GAAP Measure has limitations as an analytical tool, and investors should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for the Company’s results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Management compensates for the limitations of using the Non-GAAP Measure by using it to supplement U.S. GAAP results to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the business than would be presented by using only measures in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, the Non-GAAP Measure may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

Conference Call and Webcast Details

The Company will host a conference call and webcast at 6:00 p.m. ET today, May 11, 2023, to discuss its financial results. The live conference call can be accessed by dialing 1-844-826-3033 from the U.S. or 1-412-317-5185 internationally.

Gérard Neveu, Executive Producer of the 24 Hours of Le Mans Virtual: “On behalf of all of us at Le Mans Virtual Series, we want to sincerely thank all our competitors and teams who made this possible, our partners for their ongoing, loyal support, and the millions of fans who followed our events and who brought the social media sites alive with their comments of support, enthusiasm and fervour.

“When you look at the figures, the scale of the popularity of the series – especially the 24 Hours of Le Mans Virtual – is clear to see.  We are constantly pushing the boundaries of technology, of sporting excellence and organisation, and of what we expect of ourselves.  Sometimes, as we have seen, this doesn’t go to plan but we learn from this and move forward as the future for the series is bright.”

The post MOTORSPORT GAMES TO ATTEND SALT NEW YORK 2022 CONFERENCE, HOLD RFACTOR 2 HOT LAP COMPETITION FOR GUESTS appeared first on Motorsport Games.

In light of recent community discussion we wanted to take a few moments to give you all clear assurance that development work on KartKraft continues and has in no way slowed since coming out of Early Access. We remain committed to creating the best simulator in its class and are as excited as ever for the future of KartKraft and its community of players.

A multiplayer racing mode, to go along with our initial online offering has been a key focus of the team since coming out of early access; something we know that you as a community have been looking forward to and that we have been wanting to bring to KartKraft for some time. As you will appreciate, this is a significant undertaking for a small team, and we don’t want to rush this feature out until it’s robust and of the quality that you all expect.

In the meantime, we have some other updates in the works that we think you’re going to like, and that will be rolled out prior to multiplayer races. By the middle of next month, some of these updates will already be live and we will have more details to share about our plans for KartKraft going forward.

The development team would like to thank you all for your ongoing support of KartKraft – it means a lot to us that you’re so passionate about the game that we’ve poured so much of our energy into.

BenQ Named as the Official Gaming Monitor of the Ultimate Summer Showdown Beginning April 23, 2021 and Concluding with the Finale on July 8, 2021

MIAMI, FL —  April 22, 2021 — Motorsport Games Inc. (NASDAQ: MSGM) (“Motorsport Games”), a leading racing game developer, publisher and esports ecosystem provider of official motorsport racing series throughout the world, today announced the Ultimate Summer Showdown. The four event esports series for NASCAR Heat 5 starts on April 30, 2021 and will culminate with a showpiece final on July 22, 2021. BenQ, a leading display technology company, has been named as the “Official Gaming Monitor Provider” for the Ultimate Summer Showdown.

Open qualification for the Ultimate Summer Showdown begins online within NASCAR Heat 5 on April 30, 2021, with players on the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system and the Xbox One family of devices including the Xbox One X, to take part. The top 24 drivers from each platform will then be invited to take part in the live streamed event finals on Twitch, YouTube and Facebook. The first race of the event will see players take to Darlington Raceway.

“NASCAR Heat 5 has a strong, active community full of great racers and we cannot wait to give them another opportunity to showcase their talent on one of the biggest stages. The Ultimate Summer Showdown promises to build on the momentum of the recent Winter Heat Series,” commented Jay Pennell, General Manager, eNASCAR Heat Pro League, Motorsport Games. “We are delighted to welcome BenQ as a partner for the series and look forward to working closely with the team to promote the races.”

BenQ is a global leader in display technology, known for extraordinary color performance and groundbreaking monitor audio advancement. The company debuted the MOBIUZ gaming monitor series in 2020 to rave reviews and the newest model, EX3415R, has been engineered for high-end gaming audio-visual performance.

With the MOBIUZ EX3415R curved gaming monitor, BenQ answers the question of how far the limits of sim-racing immersion can be pushed. This monitor acts as a virtual windshield that teleports you to the races of your dreams with performance that blows your mind. The massive 34-inch IPS panel with 1900R curvature wraps your field of view, perfectly simulating the driver’s first-person vantage point. Image optimizers, including the newly introduced Racing Mode, put you in the driver’s seat and let you control the way your display looks for a truly customized performance. A 144Hz High Refresh Rate and 1ms Response Time take every turn with ease. Lastly, because it’s just not the same without cheering fans and revving engines, the treVolo audio system surrounds you with a wall of powerful sound. These innovations elevate the world of sim racing to a more life-like experience.

“BenQ is excited to partner with Motorsport Games to connect with racing fans and deliver the immersive driving thrills and experiences they crave,” said Jason Lee, BenQ America LCD Business Head. “Just as pro drivers demand the best in their equipment, we strive to provide sim-racing enthusiasts with an ultrawide curved gaming monitor that delivers all the intensity and immersion of being on the track.”

After a difficult decision, our team is planning to shut down the NASCAR Heat 2 and NASCAR Heat 3 online servers for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox by April 30^th, 2021. 
 
We intended to continue support for online multiplayer in NH2 and NH3. Unfortunately, the age of the servers has led to an ever-increasing need for resource heavy maintenance. With more of our players moving to newer games in the NASCAR Heat franchise and our team hard at work on future releases, it was no longer feasible to continue support. 
 
We apologize for any inconvenience and impact this may have on your planned online experiences. 
 
The good news, NASCAR Heat 2 and NASCAR Heat 3 will still be playable and all of the offline content will continue to be enjoyed. 
 
Thank you to the entire community for your support of NASCAR Heat 2 and NASCAR Heat 3.  We look forward to sharing the future of the franchise with you soon! 

• Will NASCAR Heat 2 and NASCAR Heat 3 still be available for purchase? 
  Yes – We currently do not have any plans to remove these titles from their available locations. The only change we’re making is the closure of the online servers for NASCAR Heat 2 and NASCAR Heat 3. 
   
• What is the reason behind shutting down the online services? 
  Given the age of the multiplayer servers and the hardware/software requirements to keep them up to date and performing consistently, we have decided our resources would be better put towards the latest NASCAR Heat titles and our upcoming releases. This has been a difficult decision for us but we believe the focus of resources will be beneficial going forward. 
   
• When will online services be discontinued? 
  We expect to shut down the NASCAR Heat 2 and NASCAR Heat 3 online servers for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox by April 30^th, 2021.  Xbox users are currently experiencing the hardware/software issues mentioned above and our team is in the process of shutting down the remaining servers. 

• Can I still play my NASCAR Heat 2 & NASCAR Heat 3 games after these services have been discontinued? 
  Yes – Anyone who owns these titles will still be able to access and play all of content that doesn’t require the online services. The online functionality will be unavailable after the services have been discontinued.

Qualification for the four-event Series starts November 9^th on NASCAR Heat 5 with $47,000 prize pool

PRESS RELEASE, November 9, 2020: Racing fans will now have additional entertainment during the down season with the announcement of the Winter Heat Series, a brand new, four event esports tournament, which will run from November and finish with a showpiece finale ahead of the DAYTONA 500. The new tournament, open to all NASCAR Heat 5 players, follows the success of the second season of the eNASCAR Heat Pro League, and will offer racers a $47,000 prize pool. 

February’s showpiece promises to be a spectacular final with the top three finishers of the November, December, and January events, on each platform, competing for the grand prize. 

The Winter Heat Series is open to all NASCAR Heat 5 players on the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system and the Xbox One family of devices including the Xbox One X. Each of the Heat Winter Series events will carry a different theme to bring an extra dimension to the race.  

From the existing eNASCAR Heat Pro League Series, 10 of the teams (Chip Ganassi Gaming, Gibbs Gaming, JR Motorsports, JTG Daugherty Throttlers, Petty eSports, RCR eSports, Roush Fenway Gaming, Stewart-Haas eSports, Team Penske eSports and Wood Brothers Gaming) have all signed up for the Winter Heat Series. The existing esports drivers for these teams will automatically earn a position in the first three events. 

Additional qualification for the remaining grid spots on the first event, the ‘Movember 50’, will be open in game from Tuesday, November 10^th to Thursday, November 12^th. The top 24 drivers on each platform will then race it out online on November 22^nd around virtual Dover International Speedway.  

The Movember 50 is being run in partnership with the Movember Foundation to help raise funds and awareness for men’s health. Competitors will be encouraged to raise money for Movember with their fundraising efforts helping to determine the starting lineup for the race. 

“The Winter Heat Series is a fun and unique way for everyday gamers to showcase their skills against eNASCAR Heat Pro League drivers, while also competing for their share of a $47,000 prize pool,” eNHPL General Manager Jay Pennell said. “Each month’s events will showcase a different theme that will allow for competitors to have fun and help fill the void left in the winter months by the NASCAR off-season.” 

Race Schedule 

The full Rules and Regulations for the Winter Heat Series are available on winter.nascarheat.com.  

In order to take part in the Winter Heat Series, players will need a copy of NASCAR Heat 5, which is available now on the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, the Xbox One family of devices including the Xbox One X and on PC via Steam.

Let’s look back to simpler times. A time without face masks. A time with hugs. A time with packed grandstands!

The October DLC for NASCAR Heat 5 is here and it’s bringing a heap of throwback schemes with it. And quite frankly we’re thrilled about this! This is also our BIGGEST DLC so far with 49 Cup Series schemes, 14 Xfinity Series schemes, and 8 Truck Series schemes. That’s a whopping 71 new schemes included! Some of the Cup Series throwbacks include Bowyer, Newman, Wallace, Reddick, Hamlin, and much more!

This month’s DLC will also include three new challenges. The first is an Xfinity Rookie challenge at the Indy Road Course as Harrison Burton, then you’ll be taking over as Kurt Busch in his hometown of Las Vegas, and finally another Indy Road Course challenge, this time as Chase Briscoe.

Don’t forget to check out our previous blog post with all of the information about the latest patch to hit NASCAR Heat 5 earlier this week. As with previous months, this DLC is free to all owners of NASCAR Heat 5 Gold Edition, or owners of the Season Pass. The October DLC can also be purchased separately as standalone content for $12.99 USD.

And without further adieu, here is the full list of schemes!

NASCAR Cup Series

NASCAR Xfinity Series

NASCAR Truck Series

Guess who’s patched. Patched again. Yes we’re patched. Tell a friend.

Today’s patch for NASCAR Heat 5 includes the ability to run Cup Series and Truck Series at the latest free track that we added to the game, the Indy Road Course. We also added the ability to add the Indy Road Course to a Custom Championship for any series!

In addition we’ve also added the #53 Garrett Smithley Cup Series car to the game, featuring two schemes to choose from right out of the gate, and the #99 Stefan Parsons Xfinity Series car.

We’ve also released a brand new Custom Scheme for you all to play around with in the paint booth! There have also been some other minor updates to the game which should improve the gameplay experience overall. As with ALL of our patches, all of this content is completely free to all owners of NASCAR Heat 5 Gold OR Standard Edition.

The post October Patch – 10/26 appeared first on Motorsport Games.

Indy Road Course! TikTok scheme! This is a pretty hype update to NASCAR Heat 5, and it’s completely free to everyone who owns the Gold OR Standard Editions of the game!

We’re extremely excited about this update, and we know that you all are pretty amped as well (we probably get 20+ social media messages per day about the Indy Road Course). For now the new course will only be available for Xfinity, and only in the Race Now mode, Revised Schedule in Championship mode, and, most important of all, in Online mode.

Here’s what Game Designer Elliott Henderson had to say about the Indy Road Course:

“This track was without a doubt the most difficult one we’ve put together. It wasn’t without some frustrations, but we think the community will really like the new challenge this presents not just in offline play, but in online as well. It’s rough, tight corners make for some excellent and bold passing zones, but if you miss them by an inch, you’re overshooting the corner. It’s without a doubt one tough track and ranks up there with the Charlotte Roval as far as learning curves go. Should be fun to see the community feedback and online mayhem this track creates.”

In addition to the new circuit, we’ve also got the hottest Xfinity scheme in town! The TikTok Ryan Vargas Xfinity Series scheme is available now to everyone, and has generated a lot of buzz in the community for the incredible aesthetics.

And finally this update also includes the Tyler Reddick Cheddar’s Scheme which he drove at Indy for the 2020 Brickyard 400, and an updated Truck Series logo at WWT.

This time around we’ve got 39 schemes for Cup Series and a full dozen Xfinity Series schemes (the most in a single DLC). This includes patriotic schemes for Kyle Busch, Clint Bowyer, Martin Truex Jr., Austin Dillon, and more!

As per usual, we’ve also got three new Challenges, and this month you can expect to see Martin Truex Jr., Clint Bowyer, and Jeff Gordon! This comes hot off the heels of our latest patch, which you can read about on our social media pages.

Just like with the first two DLC, this September DLC will be available for free to owners of NASCAR Heat 5 Gold Edition or those who purchased the NASCAR Heat 5 Season Pass separately. Additionally this DLC can be purchased as standalone content for $12.99 USD.

Draft Qualifying To Begin Jan. 30 with an Increased Prize Pool of more than $200,000

The eNASCAR Heat Pro League® (eNHPL) announced today the return of its second season, now with a total prize pool of more than $200,000. The news follows a successful first season where the eNHPL produced over one million live views on its race broadcasts and hosted numerous live events throughout the year, such as its draft a Phoenix Raceway, a race at Charlotte Motor Speedway and the finale at NASCAR’s Arena 43 in Charlotte, North Carolina.

The highly anticipated second season will once again offer the opportunity for gamers to become an affiliated esports driver for one of 14 official eNHPL teams. This year’s draft qualifying will be open to all NASCAR Heat 4® players on Sony’s PlayStation 4 and Microsoft’s Xbox One systems and will seek to find the best gamers across the United States and Canada over a span of six-weeks on a variety of different racing circuits. The draft qualifying period will open on Jan. 30 and will run until Feb. 26.

Following the draft qualifying, there will be a live-streamed invitational pre-season containing three weekly exhibition events slated to begin on March 4. The Pre-Season will showcase the top qualifiers in live head-to-head racing where teams and fans can closely monitor the progress of new competitors ahead of the official team draft in April.

Changes have also been made to the regular season, which now features three segments of four races, and offers a greater variety of tracks and series compared to Season 1. Each Regular Season segment will see one driver qualify per platform for the championship race, and an additional Wildcard race winner will complete the driver Championship line up for the live finale, which will be held in the summer.

More information on the eNASCAR Heat Pro League’s second season will be announced over the coming weeks.

Stephen Hood, President, 704Games commented: “The eNASCAR Heat Pro League has already proven to be an incredibly exciting series, engaging players, viewers and industry alike. With our partners at the RTA and NASCAR, we’ve worked hard to create a new structure that will again engage our already passionate player base and audience. We’re proud to be taking eNASCAR to ever greater heights.”

Tim Clark, Senior Vice President and Chief Digital Officer, NASCAR said, “Last season proved our eNASCAR platforms provide action-packed racing with some of the most talented gamers in esports, bridging the gap from one race to the next. In collaboration with 704Games, the RTA and the entire NASCAR industry, the eNASCAR Heat Pro League cemented itself in season one as a must-watch racing series in this rapidly evolving space.”

After 22 races and countless hours of practice and competitive races it all comes down to four teams this Wednesday in the season finale for the eNASCAR Heat Pro League Season.

Four teams – Team Penske Esports, Stewart-Haas Gaming, Leavine Family Gaming, and JR Motorsports – will battle it out in a winner-take-all night of racing in the Xbox One and Playstation 4 divisions in the studios at NASCAR Productions in Charlotte.

The teams will be joined by the other teams who are racing for bragging rights to score a win to close out the season at virtual ISM Raceway.

SHG_HotRod_14p has also scored more poles than any other driver in either division this year with seven poles while SHGSlick14x has also scored a pair of pole awards during the season to also set the mark for any team this season.

Despite scoring just one win this season for Team Penske Esports, Brian Tedeschi (ShellVPower22) and Corey Rothgeb (Pennzoil2) have used consistency to stay near the top all season long. Both drivers will also be watch JR Motorsports drivers Tyler Dohar (JRMDohar88) and Jason Keffer (JRM_Keffer7) who also enter as long shots to score the championship.

After qualifying for the season finale at ISM Raceway, Corey Rothgeb (Pennzoil2) picked up his second pole of the season and will lead the Playstation 4 division to the green flag while SHG Slick 14x earned his third pole of the season in the Xbox One Division.

After competing during the regular season with NASCAR Heat 3, the 28 drivers competing in the inaugural season of the eNASCAR Heat Pro League, the league will be the first to debut NASCAR Heat 4 in game action.

Fans who have pre-ordered the NASCAR Heat 4 Gold Edition will now have access to the game! Tune in and watch as the eNHPL drivers to be the first to showcase new features and never before seen tactics in NASCAR Heat 4 racing as they race away in the first playoff race of the Season on September 11.

One of the drivers that has enjoyed the new game already is JR Motorsports driver Tyler Dohar (JRM Dohar88).

“I think practicing with the new NASCAR Heat 4 game has created a lot of excitement,” said Dohar. “I’m excited about the new changes in the game that we are learning in practice.”

Some of the new features of the game include how the tire wear will be relevant during a race and drivers will have to be able to adjust during the race according to Dohar who has finished second this times during the regular season.

“The tire wear model will be something to work through,” said Dohar. “I love the look of the new game and I think it’s much more aesthetically pleasing to the viewers and fans will love the look of the new game.”

Brian Tedeschi (ShellVPower22) joined his teammate Corey Rothgeb (Pennzoil2) to lead Team Penske Esports to the regular season title and echoed a lot of Dhoar’s comments.

“The new NASCAR Heat 4 game is a definite improvement from NH3,” said Tedeschi. “In practice all of us are close on short runs and long runs we tend to separate. This is where I think set up and managing tire wear will be important (in the playoff races).”

Tedeschi and Rothgeb helped Team Penske outdistance Stewart-Haas Gaming by one point (564-563) ith Roush Fenway Gaming, the only other team to lead the standings beside Team Penske Esports, third just two points out of the top spot.

“Corey and I are really happy to win the regular season but we still have a lot of work to do in the playoffs,” said Tedeschi. “We have to be smart in the first race as we have a points lead and we will try and win but we also need to race smart and take what we can get in this first race.”

The playoff race featuring Las Vegas Motor Speedway will air on Wednesday with the pre-race show starting at 7:30 p.m. ET

Viewers will once again have a chance to enter for a NASCAR Driving Experience giveaway and a NASCAR Heat 4 Gold Edition will also be given away to a lucky viewer.

In the Garage, in the upper right you will see the Car Setup indicator. Select CHANGE and you will be able to alter your car’s custom setup for Qualify and/or Race. If adjusting a custom setup is too complex, you can toggle your car’s setup from loose to tight instead on this same screen by adjusting the slider.

• How do I change the AI settings to match my skill level?
  • Go into Game Options from the Main Menu. Under the Gameplay tab, scroll down to the Quick Race Settings section. Change the AI Difficulty setting as desired. Set it to Custom to select a difficulty that best suits you, with 85 being easiest and 105 being hardest.

There are also many AI settings that you can change to suit your style, such as tire wear, AI stability, mechanical failure frequency, and many more!

• How do I change my default difficulty level if the setting I originally chose is too hard?
  • In NASCAR Heat 4, we’ve created Difficulty Presets that help you create a game experience that best suits you. Go into Game Options and under the Gameplay tab, highlight the Difficulty Preset option. By selecting Casual, Normal, Hard or Expert, you can quickly update the game’s options. Of course, any option can be changed individually as well.

There are 6 assists that range from 0-100. There are full descriptions of what each assist does in the Options area. These can also be tuned from the pause menu during a race, so you get instant feedback on how each assist affects your driving experience.

• How do I learn the optimal race line for each track?
  • When in Practice Mode, there is an on-track race line that displays the optimal path and real-time optimal speed of your selected track. It’s a good idea to practice first, if you aren’t familiar with a track.

  • In Challenges Mode, your car uses the assists level setting you set when you chose Easy, Normal, Hard, etc. or whatever your assists levels are currently based on any adjustments you’ve made in the pause menu of quick race, etc. Most challenges were tuned for the Normal global difficulty setting, though some may require more speed. If you go to options and change your global difficulty setting to Hard or pause the game and choose Assists and reduced your assist levels, you can get more speed and beat the harder challenges.

If you want more of a challenge, go into the Options menu and turn the Draft Partner setting to OFF. In Career Mode, draft partners are made up only of friends. Check your reputation screen to see who your friends are. There’s a good chance one or more of them will try to help you on the track.

CAREER MODE

• What is the difference between being a Driver and being an Owner in Career Mode?
  • When playing Career Mode, you will have 2 general paths to take; driver and owner. When you’re a driver, all you do is race. Just sign a contract and go! When you’re an Owner, you still do the racing, but you’re responsible for the operation of your race team or teams. You will need to hire and train employees, upgrade your facilities, purchase cars and create work plans for your employees, etc.

• What is Equipment?
  • You have 3 areas of equipment when an owner; Aero, Suspension, and Engine. Each car chassis can be upgraded in those 3 categories. The level of your equipment determines the amount an employee can upgrade a car chassis in those 3 areas. For example, if you have a chassis with an engine rating of 70 and assign an employee with an engine rating of 10 to that chassis, that chassis would normally get upgraded to level 80. However, if your engine equipment rating was only 75, you would not be able to upgrade your chassis engine beyond 75.

• How do I upgrade my Equipment?
  • When playing as an owner, you will need to improve your equipment or “departments” in order to maximize your car’s performance. Under “Work Plan”, select “Upgrade Departments.” From the Department Upgrades screen, highlight an area of equipment (Engine, Aero, Suspension, Speed (Pit), or Accuracy (Pit)) and press up on your controller. This will display the amount you can upgrade and the cost of that upgrade. Keep pressing up to upgrade even further, but the more you upgrade, the more it will cost! This determines the maximum amount you can upgrade your car, so you’ll want to pump these up to 100 when you can afford it.

• How do I attract the attention of race sponsors?
  • Sponsors are offered upon starting your own team. You will get a few to choose from and you must make a choice that best suits your needs. Each sponsor provides a signing bonus and a payout per race. The amounts vary depending on the sponsor. Each year you can sign a new primary sponsor and you will attract better sponsors the better you perform during the season. You can view available sponsors in the FUTURE PLANS screen.

• How do I attract the attention of race teams?
  • As you drive in career, you will attract the attention of race teams based on your performance. You will get opportunities to arrange contracts with teams throughout your season and drive with those teams. Teams have certain requirements that you must fulfill in order to sign a contract with them. Head to the FUTURE PLANS menu to view the list of all teams and the requirements needed to sign. The better the teams, the tougher the requirements.

• Why do I need to own more than 1 Chassis?
  • Each car chassis is designed for optimal performance for one specific track type (speedway, superspeedway, road course, etc.). You can race any chassis on any track type, but if you race a chassis not designed for that track type, your car will take a performance hit. So, it’s best to own a chassis for each track type to stay competitive.

• Do I have to race in all series?
  • No, you do not have to race in all series. New to NASCAR Heat 4, you can choose to start your career in any one of the four available series, and you can select the series you want to participate in. You must, however, participate in at least 1 series in Career mode. You can also simulate any races you do not wish to run.

• Can I own teams in more than series?
  • Yes, you can own 1 team in each of the 4 series. If you “own” a team, and then choose to be a “driver” in that series in a follow-up season, your team will still be there if you decide to become an owner in that series again later.

• What can I spend my money on in Career Mode?
  • You only need money if you own a team. If you’re an owner, you can spend your money on cars chassis, improving your equipment/departments, hiring and training your employees, and purchasing the rights to your team logos. You can earn money as both a driver and an owner.

• I’m not seeing any Hot Seat offers for the next series and/or can’t advance to the next series. What do I do?
  • You must be on a 5-star team (as a driver) or have been offered a 5-star team contract when you chose to be an owner to see Hot Seat offers in the next series. When you do meet that requirement, you will still only get Hot Seat offers in the next available series based on this order: Xtreme Dirt Tour > Camping World Trucks > XFINITY > Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series. If you don’t meet the above requirement, but win a championship, you will get Hot Seat offers for the next available series in the new season.

• Can I drive in a real driver’s car in Career Mode?
  • Yes. When you sign a contract to race with another team, you will have two options: create your own car and join that team as a new teammate or replace a driver on that team. For example, if you sign a contract to race with Hendrick Motorsports, you can create your own custom car and race with the #48, #9, #24, and #88, or you can choose to hop in one of their existing cars. New to NASCAR Heat 4, your name will appear on the back of your car, cementing your status as a real NASCAR driver!

ONLINE MULTIPLAYER

• What is NASCAR World Challenge?
  • World Challenge is the Esports tournaments feature in NASCAR Heat 4. You must register to play on NASCARHeat.com. There are typically 2 sessions to be played: Qualifying and Finals. Qualifying sessions will run from Monday to Friday (dates subject to change) each week. You can join a World Challenge lobby or create your own and race with any number of participants. The goal is to complete a race with the fastest time possible. You will be positioned on the leaderboard based on how your time compares with ALL other World Challenge participants for that event. After the qualifying session ends, you will be placed in one of three Finals brackets: A, B, or C. The best qualifiers will be placed in A, etc. On Saturday and Sunday, you will again want to race and lay down the fastest time possible. Your time will be compared to others in your bracket. Try to win your overall bracket! You are not necessarily competing directly against others in your race. You are being compared to all other racers playing Champions. Note: Real prizing may be available. Check nascarheat.com or the in-game NASCAR Heat 4 News Feed for more details as event times are subject to change.

• How do I join or create a World Challenge race?
  • Select Online Multiplayer from the Main Menu. Once on the Multiplayer screen, tab over to Esports. From here, you can create a World Challenge lobby or join any active World Challenge lobby from this screen, assuming there’s space available. The first option when creating a lobby from this area will be Regular or World Challenge. Toggle to World Challenge, and then set the other available options. Note: World Challenge lobbies will lock certain settings. Also, World Challenge lobbies may not be available if the World Challenge Finals are in progress and you haven’t qualified to race in the Finals.

• How many times can I attempt to qualify or race in a World Challenge tournament?
  • You can race in a World Challenge race as often as you’d like, assuming the Qualify or Finals session is still active. Your time/position on the leaderboard will automatically be updated with your best result. You must qualify for a finals weekend to participate in a finals race.

• Can I use DLC paint schemes online in NASCAR Heat 4?
  • Yes, DLC paint schemes can be used online. Just select the scheme you want to run from the Online Home area and that scheme will appear when racing that car online. Other racers will see your DLC schemes even if they don’t own that content.

• Can I watch an online race when I’m not competing?
  • Yes. NASCAR Heat 4 brings back Spectator Mode. Once you join a lobby, if the race in that lobby is active, you can watch that race by selecting “Watch Race.” Once that race ends you can remain in the lobby to join the next race.

• How do I get online chat to work?
  • NASCAR Heat 4 has native chat support on consoles. You can enable this function when you create a lobby in multiplayer. The max number of players that can use voice chat is 8.

• How do I change my online car setup in NASCAR Heat 4?
  • The car setup used online is pulled from the existing setup for that track offline. So, for example, if you want to race Bristol Motor Speedway online, make sure you visit Bristol in Quick Race, and create a setup there. Once you start your Bristol race online, the setup you created at Bristol in Quick Race will be automatically applied. Remember, setups are track and series specific. You will need to create a setup for each track (per series) for the events you intend to race online. Also, in Game Settings, be sure to make sure “Always Use Custom Setups” is set to “Yes”. Also, once online, if you don’t want to use a custom setup, you can adjust your car to be either “looser” or “tighter” using the setup slider in the race lobby.

• Can an online lobby host pause the countdown clock?
  • Yes, new to NASCAR Heat 4, online players who create HOSTED lobbies can pause the countdown clock. So, once 2 players are in a lobby, the 60 second countdown clock will begin just like in previous versions of NASCAR Heat. However, this year the host can pause the clock, which is great for getting large numbers into a race. Sometimes that can take extra time to coordinate. This year, in NH4, you can take all the time you need?

• Is there an online qualifying mode?
  • No, there’s no online qualifying “mode” in NASCAR Heat 4. However, once again, lobbies are sorted by best lap times from the previous race. So, if you run an online race at Daytona, for example, and everyone in the race runs at least one lap, you can then quit (or finish the race if you want) and everyone will be taken back to the lobby. All players in that lobby will now be sorted in position of their best lap time from that last race. So, if you start another race at Daytona, you’ll be arranged properly according to skill. So, you can set up your own qualifying sessions if you’d like.

SHR Gaming drivers SHGSlick14x and SHG_HotRod_14p become the first drivers to sweep the Xbox One and PlayStation4 races in the same night.

Hendrick Motorsports Gaming Club and Chip Ganassi Gaming also finished out of the top 10 and failed to qualify for the postseason. All four teams can still compete for race and event wins but will not be eligible for the championship.

Jake Harris, the voice of Stewart-Haas Gaming, was obviously happy with his team’s performance in sweeping the wins at Daytona.

We had a plan in place the whole night and Slick executed it to perfection,” said Harris. “We’re the first team to sweep so ….”

SHGSlick14x led the way in the action-packed Xbox One race holding off Tyler Dohar (JRMDohar88) to pick up his second win of the season. Brian Tedeschi (ShellVPower22) finished third to help Team Penske Esports clinch the regular season championship.

Nick Vromin (HDMotorsports95) and Alvarado (diego dd18) rounded out the top five.

JR Motorsports finished fourth with Leavine Family Gaming rounding out the top five in the final standings.

Although several drivers enter the eNASCAR Heat Pro League race in desperate need to clinch a playoff berth it was familiar faces winning the races and securing the event’s playoff berth.

In the Xbox One division event, SHGSlick14x was in front of a multi-car accident that took away his biggest challenger for the win in Sam Morris (MorDog5) who spun in the incident while running second. The Stewart-Haas driver was able to go on and pick his first race win of the season.

The victory by SHGSlick14x – along with SHG_HotRod_14p already scoring a pair of wins in the PlayStation 4 division – makes Stewart-Haas Gaming the second team to have both drivers win so far this year. GoFas Gaming was the first team to do it this season.

The voice of Stewart-Haas Gaming Jake Morris was ecstatic after seeing one of his driver’s pick up a win for the second week in a row.

“I think we found a little magic (tonight),” said Morris. “We set some incentives up for these guys to go out there and win and we got it done.”

Team Penske Esports driver Brian Tedeschi (ShellVPower22) made it through the accident to finish second with Roush Fenway Gaming’s Nick Walker (wowTHATSgarbage) once again putting on a show coming from the rear of the field to finish third. 

RCR Esports driver Jordan McGraw (TheJMacAttack34) finished fourth for his first top-five showing of the season with Germain Gaming’s Jacob Kerr (JacobKerr13) completing the top five.

In the PlayStation 4 division event Wood Brothers Gaming driver Slade Gravitt (sladeg84) scored his first win since taking the season opener at Charlotte in May.

The Georgia teenager was able to make the pass with two laps by JRMotorsports driver Jason Keffer (JRM_Keffer7) and hold on for the victory.

“One my, unbelievable to have two wins,” said Gravitt. “Two wins with a lot on the line. I want to thank everyone at Wood Brothers and (sponsor) Spin for this opportunity. 

“I couldn’t be happier. I don’t know if this was better than Charlotte (win) but it’s awesome.”

Gravitt, the youngest driver in the field who has just started his senior year of high school, said strategy helped position him to get the win.

“Corey Rothgeb (Pennzoil2) and I were saving gas us to had a plan and made an alignment this week. We worked together and it really worked out when (Keffer) and the (TJ McGowan/Voltage20_) caught on with our plan and went with us.”

Rothgeb finished second with McGowan, Keffer and SHG_HotRod_14p rounding out the top five.

By recording a pair of runner-up finishes by Tedeschi and Rothgeb, Team Penske Esports picked up their second event win of the season.

After losing the lead in the overall standings last week, Team Penske Esports moved back into the top spot to lead Roush Fenway Gaming by nine points (498-489) with one race remaining in the regular season.

The post Wood Brothers and Stewart-Haas Gaming pick up wins in Michigan appeared first on Motorsport Games.

There is a lot on the line in this week’s race at Michigan for the eNASCAR Heat Pro League drivers. Viewers watching the race event will have a chance to win a ticket to the NASCAR Driving Experience ($600 value).

In addition to the NASCAR Driving Experience prize, a copy of NASCAR Heat 4 will also be given away during the live stream.

Although Roush Fenway Racing has already clinched a playoff berth, several teams still need a win this week at Michigan International Speedway to punch their ticket for the eNASCAR Heat Pro League playoffs.

Nick Walker (wowTHATSgarbage) has already picked up a pair of race wins this season in the Xbox division and expects an action-packed race on the 2-mile track.

“The practices we have ran have been fun,” said Walker. “I expect a lot of two and three-wide racing on the Michigan track. It should produce a lot of bumping and racing for positions.”

In addition to the bumping, Walker predicts you might see some drivers take some chances. They will take chances because a potential playoff berth is up for grabs but also a new incentive for the drivers.

“Now that we have an opportunity to win a NASCAR Driving Experience for winning the race I think you will see a lot of guys racing hard and more contact than usual,” said Walker.

His teammate in the PlayStation 4 division Cody Giles (xX_Fluffy_Xx2) might not have a win yet, but the driver has proven to be the most consistent one in the division standing alone as the only gamer to finish in the top 10 in all previous six races.

The Smyrna, Tenn., driver echoes Walker’s thoughts on what type of race to expect.

“I expect a wild race too,” Giles added. “Fans will see a lot of three-wide racing on a fast track and drivers will probably make some wild moves to get to the front.

“Staying in the draft is going to be important and then it should get crazy late in the race going for the win.”

Michigan is the penultimate race in the inaugural season of the eNASCAR Heat Pro League and teams will want to lock up a playoff berth before competing at Daytona International Speedway in the regular season finale in two weeks.

Roush Fenway Gaming moved into the lead in the team standings after the last race and lead Team Penske Esports by two points (422-420) with Leavine Family Gaming third just nine points out of the lead with 413. JTG Daugherty Throttlers and JR Motorsports tied with 410 points each to complete the top five.

The post eNASCAR Heat Pro League “Heat Check” appeared first on Motorsport Games.

Roush Fenway Gaming has already clinched a playoff berth, but they want more heading into the final two races of the regular season.

Xbox One driver Nick Walker (wowTHATSgarbage) and PlayStation 4 competitor Cody Giles (xX_Fluffy_Xx2) have been two of the most consistent performers during the inaugural season of the eNASCAR Heat Pro League.

Despite missing one race due to power issues at his home, Walker has put on an exciting show almost every week usually coming from the back through the field to win races.

The Frankton, Indiana, native won Xbox One Division races at Auto Club Speedway in the second week of the season and made a daring pass in the last turn at Watkins Glen International to pick up his second win two races ago.

“I just take each race as it comes and usually find a way up through the field,” said Walker. “I think I’ve gained over 70 positions combined through the first six races.”

Walker hopes his regular season ends on a positive note as he prepares for the playoffs after Roush Fenway Gaming clinched a playoff spot several weeks ago.

“It’s been a roller coaster season for me,” said Walker. “Overall it’s been a pretty good year (so far).”

Although Giles has yet to win a race this season, he’s stood out among his fellow competitors in the PlayStation 4 Division as the only driver to finish in the top 10 in every race this season.

“I work hard to not make mistakes early in the races,” said Giles. “I try to show consistency each race and use a strategy that helps me be in a position to move up late in the race.”

Giles agrees the competition has been tough as he expected it to be and knows the level of intensity is only going to pick up as the season progresses.

“It’s been challenging this season as there are a lot of really good drivers in this league,” said the Roush Fenway driver. “These races are no easy Sunday drive – that’s for sure.

“I try to drive a consistent pace and with about 10 laps to go I get going when it really counts.”

Both drivers are appreciative of the opportunity to compete in the historic first-year league and both are focused on being ready to compete for the championship.

“I feel so blessed to be drafted by Roush Fenway Gaming to be a part of the team and I want to get them a win so show them by winning a race,” said Giles.

For Walker, he wants to use the last two regular-season events to fine tune some things in preparation for the postseason.

“I’m ready to finish the regular season strong and get ready for the playoffs because it’s going to be a challenging field to race against for the title,” he said.

After entering the night in 10th-place in the standings for the final playoff spot, GoFas Gaming did what they had to do to secure a spot in the postseason.

With just three races remaining in the regular season, Matthew Heale (GoFasMatt32) picked up his first Xbox One division win of the season to help GoFas Gaming clinch a playoff spot for the eNASCAR Heat Pro League playoffs. 

After Hunter Mullins (FasFed32) finished second in the Playstation 4 race to start the night, GoFasMatt32 was able to hold off Nick Walker (wowTHATSgarbage) in a green-white-checkered finish to celebrate the emotional win.

“That was awesome and I didn’t even expect to win the race,” said an excited GoFasMatt32 after securing his first win of the season. “My camera is on standby I didn’t even set it up. I felt like I battled every car in the field.”

GoFasMatt32 acknowledged his team was feeling the pressure before the race as they were right at cutoff to make the playoffs before the night’s races began.

“We were sitting 10th in the points and this (event win) is great for our team,” GoFasMatt32 added. “(We’re) locked into the playoffs and a great day for our team in the points. Now we can make a run for the championship. This is awesome.”

Daniel Buttafuoco (TheBolt18) was third with Josh Shoemaker (SHGSlick14x) and Brian Tedeschi (ShellVPower22) both rebounding from accidents in the race to complete the top five.

In the Playstation 4 division race also featured a green-white-checkered finish that produced an exciting finish to the first race of the night.

SHG_HotRod_14p was able to come back and pick up his second win of the season holding off Hunter Mullins/FasFed32who finished a strong second after leading the race at different times.

“It’s always a challenge and HotRod stayed focused and did exactly what we asked him to do beofre the race and came back with a victory,” said Jake Morris, the voice of Stewart-Haas Gaming. “We started off the season with some bad luck and we told the guys that we are fast and now we have some luck on our side and showing how good this team is in the eNASCAR Heat Pro League.”

Nick Jobes/NJobes25 was third with Slade Gravitt/sladeg84 and William Arnold/Kyle Arnold13 rounding out the top five.

Roush Fenway Gaming was able to vault past Team Penske Esports to take the lead in the overall team standings by just two points (422-420) with Leavine Family Gaming third with 413. JTG Throttlers and JR Motorsports are tied with 410 points to complete the top five.

The next race for the eNASCAR Heat Pro League will be on Wednesday, Aug. 7th from Michigan International Speedway. The pre-race show will kick off at 7:30 p.m. ET.

The post GoFas Gaming secures playoff berth appeared first on Motorsport Games.

Tune-in to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway race on Wednesday and enter for a chance to win a copy of NASCAR Heat 4.

After coming close last week to securing a playoff berth, Richard Childress Racing eSports drivers Joey Stone (Sloppy_Joe_YT) and Jordan McGraw (TheJMacAttack34) are more determined than ever to perform well Wednesday on the challenging 2.5-mile layout.

Sloppy_Joe_YT has enjoyed a hot streak of late finishing second in the past two races in the Playstation 4 division while TheJMacAttack34 enters after a solid eighth-place showing from Chicagoland two weeks ago.

The duo fell just two points shy of clinching a playoff berth and feel they are in a position to race their way in at Indianapolis.

“I think you are going to see a tight and condensed field to start the race,” said Sloppy_Joe_YT. “This racetrack looks like it could be a one-groove track so you will have to take what you can get.”

The JMacAttack34 agrees it could be a one-groove track and could be a challenge for all 14 competitors in the Xbox One division he competes in for RCR eSports.

“I think we’ll be single-file early and you will not want to lose the draft,” JMacAttack34 said. “I think things could get dicey late in the race if people try to move up because they need a win.

“I think the entry into Turns 1 & 2 will be interesting for all of us.”

Sloppy_Joe_YT adds that while the start of the race might be tame, he expects business to pick up with all 14 drivers.

“I think after the competition caution you will see a crazy race as everyone will want to be in the top-five near the end of the race to go for the win,” he added.

Only four teams have secured a playoff berth so far this season (JTG Throttlers, Team Penske, Leavine Family Gaming, Roush-Fenway Gaming) and with only three races remaining in the regular season every point will be crucial for the teams.

Justin Brooks (mrTRACKBAR33) enters Indianapolis Motor Speedway on a hot streak after winning last time out at Chicagoland Speedway to pick up his second win of the season. 

mrTRACKBAR33 has won two of the past three races and has not finished lower than sixth in any race this season driving for JTG Throttlers, the team owned by Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series team JTG Daugherty Racing.

Leavine Family Gaming picked up the playoff berth last week thanks to the first win of the season for Josh Harbin (ThAbEaR_95) and a seventh-place finish for his teammate Nick Vroman (HDMotorsports95).

Team Penske Esports has led the points standings after all five races so far this season and maintains a six-point lead over Leavine Family Gaming 257-251.

Roush Fenway Gaming sits in third place with 350 points while JTG Throttlers is fourth and JR Motorsports moved into the top five. 

The pre-race show for Indianapolis Motor Speedway will start on Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. ET with racing slated to begin at 8 p.m. Fans can watch the races on the follow social media platforms:

The post RCR eSports ready for Indianapolis event appeared first on Motorsport Games.

Josh Harbin (ThAbEaR_95) uses his race win to help give his team a playoff berth while Justin Brooks (mrTRACKBAR33) becomes third driver to score multiple race victories during inaugural season.

With the second half of the regular season starting on Wednesday night at Chicagoland Speedway, some of the drivers knew it was time to help their team secure a playoff berth and Harbin did just that during Round 5 of the eNASCAR Heat Pro League.

Harbon used timely pit strategy and saved his equipment just enough to hold off Joey Stone (Sloppy_Joe_YT) and secure the first win of the season for Leavine Family Gaming in the Playstation 4 division.

“We took four tires earlier in the race so on the last pit stop we decided to take just two tires at the end and take it home from there,” said Harbon. “I was holding on to it for dear life (at the end of the race) because the car was so loose on just two tires.

“Like I said last week, Leavine Family Gaming is here to play and let’s do it.”

The race was an action-packed event from the start as SHG_HotRod_14p started from the pole and led the first handful of laps before ThAbEaR_95 took the lead for the first time in the first of 10 lead changes in the 50-lap race.

Slade Gravitt (sladeg84) finished third with Josh Parker (Parker8171) and Cody Giles (xX_Fluffy_Xx2) rounding out the top-five.

The XBox One division kicked off the night’s action with Brooks becoming the third driver to win multiple races so far this season.

Brooks was able to take the lead at the start of the race from polesitter Tyler Dohar (JRMDohar88) and remained out front until the field started making pit stops around Lap 13 and quickly got back to the point after the pit stop cycle.

Brooks was able to hold off Matthew Heale (GoFasMatt32) in winning for the second time in the past three races. 

“For whatever reason after we pitted I was having problems with my throttle and I was able to hang on there the last few laps,” Brooks said. “Our hard work paid off tonight. I’ve been fast everywhere and just had some bad luck.

“I pretty much gave the race away (last time out at Watkins Glen) when I hit the curb. I can’t complain as I have two wins and a second-place finish.”

JRMDohar88 rebounded from a slow start to finish third for his fourth top-five finish of the season. Brian Tedesch (ShellVPower22) and Daniel Buttafuoco (TheBolt18) rounded out the top-five.

With Leavine Family Racing clinching a playoff berth based on the win by ThAbEaR_95 and Nick Vromin/HDMotorsports95 finishing seventh in his race, they join JTG Throttlers, Roush-Fenway Gaming and Team Penske Esports who have qualified for the playoffs so far.

Team Penske remains out front of the overall standings by six points over Leavine Family Gaming (357-351) with Roush-Fenway Gaming, JTG Throttlers and JR Motorsports completing the top-five.

The eNASCAR Heat Pro League will return to action on Wednesday, July 24 when Indianapolis Motor Speedway will host Round 6 as teams will only have three more chances to secure a playoff berth before the playoffs begin in September.

In addition to following the eNASCAR Heat Pro League, fans can also pre-order NASCAR Heat 4 which will debut in September.

The post Josh Harbin, Justin Brooks get eNASCAR Heat Pro League race wins appeared first on Motorsport Games.

JRMDohar88 and JRM_Keffer7 have JR Motorsports third in the eNASCAR Heat Pro League standings but still need to clinch playoff berth.

After coming close to scoring a win several times in the first four races of the season Tyler Dohar (JRMDohar88) is ready to close the deal and hopes Chicagoland Speedway will provide him a chance to celebrate.

“I’m ready for Chicagoland,” said Dohar who competes in the Xbox One Divison behind the wheel of the FilterTime Chevrolet. “I qualified on the pole and I usually don’t qualify that well so this is a pleasant surprise.”

The JR Motorsports driver wants to win but he also has his eyes on a bigger prize.

“I want to win a race for sure,” Dohar said. “But I absolutely want to make sure we get JR Motorsports a playoff berth.”

With the 2019 eNASCAR Heat Pro League schedule entering the second half of the season, Dohar and Jason Keffer (JRM_Keffer7) have their team third in the overall points standings – just 10 points behind leader Team Penske Esports (151-141). 

Keffer picked up a top-10 finish in the season opener and knows he needs to get back in the top-10 and that means he’s making some changes over the final four regular season events starting Wednesday at Chicagoland.

“I think I’ve been too conservative in the first half of the season,” said Keffer. “During the exhibition season I won a race and averaged a fifth-place finish. When we got to the regular season I think I didn’t want the races to be a crashfest so there were times I probably didn’t block enough and be aggressive enough. I’m changing that for Chicagoland.”

Keffer, who drives the TDJF / WinDaleJrsRide.com Chevrolet in the Playstation 4 division, knows how difficult it is to pick up a win this season but has already shown that he can run up front leading races and also out front late in the second race of the season at Auto Club Speedway.

“I tweeted something for fun  (on Monday) about not lifting and I will definitely change my outlook and will race harder this week,” added Keefer. “I could have blocked a little more in the Auto Club race and I think I will do what it takes to get the win moving forward.

“It’s going to be tough because there are no easy wins against the competition in the Playstation 4 division.”

Team Penske Esports has led the point standings after all four races so far this season, however, Leavine Family Gaming moved to within six points of the lead with 145 points.

Roush Fenway Gaming’s Nick Walker (wowThatsgarbage) and GoFas Gaming’s Hunter Mullins (FasFed32) each picked up their second victory of the season with Walker’s win helping pull Roush Fenway Gaming to within one point of third place (141-140).

Germain Gaming and JTG Throttlers are tied for fifth with 133 points each.

The pre-race show for Chicagoland Speedway will start on Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. ET with racing slated to begin at 8 p.m.

Like previous Season Updates, players will choose between the 2018 and 2019 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Seasons. In the 2019 Season, NASCAR Heat 3 players can race in the following modes; Quick Race, Championship, Split Screen, Career, and, for the first time in a Season Update, Online.

Online racing in the 2019 Season Update is limited to other players who also own the 2019 Season Update.

For Career mode in the NASCAR Heat 3 2019 Season Update, players will begin in the Xtreme Dirt Tour, then move on to the 2018 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series and work their way into the 2018 NASCAR Xfinity Series. After that, players will head to the 2019 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series. Further, players can also customize the 2019 Ford Mustang in the car customization menu.
