Evaluation
NASCAR Heat 3 is no longer available for purchase on Steam — the store listing has no purchase options. The game launched on September 7, 2018, received one patch update in October 2018, and two minor free DLC packs (paint schemes) in December 2018, both of which have been released. The publisher announced in March 2019 that NASCAR Heat 2 was being removed from the store and noted that Heat 3 would "continue to be available" at that time. An August 2019 post directed players toward NASCAR Heat 4, which was releasing that September — signaling the franchise had moved on. The store description itself notes that online multiplayer servers were shut down on April 30, 2021. The game has since been delisted entirely and can no longer be purchased.
