Delisting
Days of Thunder: Arcade was delisted from Xbox 360 in early July 2013 according to reporting from TrueAchievements.com. It was likely delisted from PlayStation 3 (as Days of Thunder: NASCAR Edition) and PlayStation Portable (as Days of Thunder minis) around this same timeframe.
The games were not well received and could have been delisted due to low sales. However, given the timing alongside the delisting of The War of the Worlds, also published by Paramount Digital, it seems likely that the publisher’s transition away from console releases was the cause.
Both Days of Thunder: Arcade and Days of Thunder minis are extinct, and according to forum discussion in 2015, it may be impossible to re-download them even if they had been previously purchased. The only version that may be obtainable is Days of Thunder: NASCAR Edition on PlayStation 3 which was included in a retail Blu-ray combo pack along with the original 1990 movie.
About the Game
“Days of Thunder: Arcade is a high adrenaline Stock car arcade racer. Coached by Rowdy Burns himself you can relive the intensity of the film while you race to the top of the leader boards. Watch out for Cole trickle and Russ Wheeler though! Race on Oval and road tracks to prove that you’ve got what it takes.“
