NASCAR Heat, NASCAR Rivals to be delisted on Nintendo Switch

Motorsport Games has announced on social media that its delisting various NASCAR games on digital storefronts, which will affect Nintendo Switch. NASCAR Heat and NASCAR Rivals will both be pulled from the eShop. This will be going into effect on December 31, 2024.

Physical copies are also unaffected. Those looking to pick up the titles digitally will be able to take advantage of an upcoming discount.

Please look out for various platform promotions this December to complete your NASCAR console game collection while you can!
