No yet (see attached). I'm assuming it will show up in the blurred area with the globe once it's available.

I just purchased the two DLCs too. I'll try them out either tonight or tomorrow.

[Ted]

Yeah the blurred area says multiplayer coming when I hover on it.

[Jason]

It does on the PS5 too. I didn't hover on it the first time. Do you think that'll include cross-play?

[Ted]

I'd be surprised if it doesn't.  Seems like everything has crossplay now if it offers multiplayer on every platform it launches.

Formula Legends update dropped on Steam today.

Lot's of additional content coming too.

[Jason]

It's great seeing the developers put so much work into this game. I wonder how well it's selling.

[Ted]

SteamDB has owner estimation totals ranging from 27 to 35k, but I think that's only on PC.

I've been wanting to buy NASCAR 25 since it was released, but I've been holding off for a good sale. Unfortunately, it's never dropped below $40 even though it came out back in October 2025. Playstation now has it on sale for $37.50 for PS Plus members so I'm debating getting it at that price since it doesn't look like it's going to be cheaper anytime soon.

[Ted]

I have Nascar 25 on my wishlist too and haven't seen it drop in price yet.

[Jason]

I try not to spend more than $30 for games, but I may break my rule and get it for $37.50.

I ended up getting NASCAR 25 over the weekend, but I've only run some practice laps to see how the cars handle. The consensus online seems to be that the handling is well done and the cars feel weighty, and I agree with both of those points so far. I loaded up NASCAR Heat 5 immediately afterwards and noticed the difference immediately.

I'm holding off on playing too much while we're running our Formula Legends league now that I'm dialed into that driving model...not including my last race .

[Ted]

A youtuber popped up in my feed that plays a ton of driving sims and he was showing off some grand prix races in Assetto Corsa and Automobilista that really caught my attention.  But then one of his videos showed the old Grand Prix Legends title from 1998, still supported and heavily modded.  I bought that game on release but could never get into it very well because my PC at the time couldn't handle it.  Now all these years later it's a free download with a wealth of content made over the years.  I spent all weekend racing 1967 Grand Prix over classic tracks.  So hard and technical, but really fun.

[Jason]

Nice. I've been getting into retro gaming lately, which is one of the reasons I was interested in Formula Legends and its retro look.

Have you ever played/owned Assetto Corsa 1 of 2? They're great games and are always on sale for next to nothing. I highly recommend both.

[Ted]

Never played either, but I have 1 on my Steam wishlist and the history shows it goes on sale regularly for $5 so expecting to grab it in a month during the summer sale.  Once it was as low as $2 so fingers crossed.

[Ted]

Jason, I finished a novice 1967 season in Grand Prix Legends.  It exported an html file with all the race results.  It's kinda neat and tidy and even shows mechanical failures of the drivers (I retired due to a blown camshaft once).  Is it possible to post that file to the forum here, using something like the link buttons for youtube or pics?
