Forza Motorsport's Future in Doubt After Recent Layoffs and Shift in Focus
The beloved racing simulation game, Forza Motorsport, has recently faced a significant turning point in its development. Despite its recent release in October 2023, the game's developer, Turn 10 Studios, has announced a shift in priorities that may signal the end of Forza Motorsport as we know it. The news comes after Turn 10 Studios lost about half of its staff in July 2025, which has led to a change in the game's direction.
'Shifting Focus' to Forza Horizon 6
In a recent announcement, Turn 10 stated that they will no longer be adding any new in-game content, such as cars, tracks, or features, to Forza Motorsport. They also mentioned that regular bug fixes and updates will no longer be provided. However, the studio will continue to offer online support for multiplayer gameplay, although the duration of this support is unclear.
To keep players engaged, Turn 10 will host special events and competitions throughout 2026. This move seems to be a way to encourage players to continue playing and to earn past special event rewards, cars, and other previously limited content. The studio also plans to reintroduce Featured Tours and reward cars on a monthly basis, ensuring that players can still enjoy the game's content.
**'Until All Content is Available'
The full quote from Turn 10 regarding Forza Motorsport is as follows: "As our team shifts its focus toward delivering the best possible experience with Forza Horizon 6 in 2026, we do not plan to introduce new cars, tracks, features, or regular bug fixes for Forza Motorsport. However, we will continue supporting the game by keeping online servers active, hosting special events and competitions, and reintroducing previously released Featured Tours and reward cars on a monthly basis, until all content is available for you to enjoy anytime."
While the game will remain playable for the foreseeable future, the lack of new content and updates may signal the end of Forza Motorsport's active development. The shift in focus to Forza Horizon 6 and the recent layoffs at Turn 10 Studios have left many players wondering about the game's future. What do you think? Will Forza Motorsport continue to evolve, or is it time for players to move on to other racing simulations?
