Turn 10 Ends Forza Motorsport Support to Focus on Forza Horizon 6 Development

Turn 10 has officially concluded the development of  Forza Motorsport. The studio announced that the game will no longer receive fresh content, including new cars, tracks, additional features, or regular patches. The entire team’s efforts are now focused on  Forza Horizon 6, which they are developing in collaboration with Playground Games.

In a statement on their official website, the developers expressed gratitude to players for their support and engagement. They also emphasized that there are currently no plans to shut down the servers for Forza Motorsport. Special events and competitions will continue, and the previously added tours and reward cars will be recurring every month, ensuring that all content remains accessible at any time.

It’s worth noting that the eighth installment of the Forza Motorsport series was released in 2023 as a reboot of the franchise. Over the course of two years, the game received 22 free updates, providing new tracks, cars, and gameplay enhancements.

This decision seems to be expected amid the recent summer layoffs at Microsoft, during which Turn 10 lost about half of its staff. A former employee of the studio, Fred Russell, later stated that the Forza Motorsport project had effectively been closed down, with the team moving into a support role for Horizon.

In the fall, Phil Spencer, the head of Microsoft’s gaming division, addressed the situation. He reassured that the Forza Motorsport series is not cancelled, but that fans shouldn’t expect a return in the near future. He indicated that Xbox is currently prioritizing projects that are closer to release, and reallocating resources helps studios avoid constant pressure and work at a more manageable pace.

Players can still enjoy Forza Motorsport on PC (Steam, Microsoft Store), Xbox Series consoles, and through the Game Pass subscription at both Premium and Ultimate levels. Russian subtitles are available.
