iRacing is now on Vision Pro, but you’ll need a big PC to play it

iRacing is ready for its Vision Pro debut. The immersive racing simulator is now available for Apple’s augmented reality headset, with the iRacing Connect app arriving in the App Store. This is quite a quick turnaround for the motorsport game, considering the Vision Pro port was just announced in March.

But it may not be possible for all racing fans to enjoy it immediately, as the specification requirements are, understandably, quite heavy. Assuming you already have the Apple Vision Pro headset at home, it will need to run visionOS 26.4 or higher. You’ll also need a Wi-Fi 6+ router “capable of over 1,000 Mbps” to handle connectivity. Finally, you’ll need a PC running at least a coveted NVIDIA 4070Ti+ or 5070Ti+ graphics card. You might face an uphill battle finding one at a reasonable price as we endure the throes of RAMaggeddon.

If you have the whole kit, this seems like a pretty phenomenal way to experience the game. The Vision Pro can sync with your rig to perform nifty tricks, like showing your hands on the steering wheel and aligning the physical steering wheel with the one shown in-game. It’s the type of app we’ve been waiting for for the Vision Pro, which has remained in the liminal space between an expensive toy and a beta version of potentially very cool technology since its introduction. The latest version is certainly more powerful thanks to an M5 chip, but it will have to offer a lot more integrations like this with iRacing in order to really take the plunge.
