Turn 10 confirms Forza Motorsport won’t be getting any new content

Forza Motorsport was one of the big first-party titles announced prior to the launch of the then-next-gen Xbox Series X|S. Said to be ‘built from the ground up’ the track racer launched in a disappointing state – with the team spending much of their time trying to bring Motorsport up to snuff. Major lay-offs at studio Turn 10 earlier this year led many to fear that future support had been cancelled. Though denied at the time, Microsoft has now confirmed that Forza Motorsport is turning off its engine.

Publishing a blog post titled ‘2025 Forza Year in Review’, the team at Turn 10 Studios offered a recap of the updates, additions and announcements from across the Forza series over the past 12 months.

By far the most interest part of the post however comes near the end, where-in the team discuss the ill-fated Forza Motorsport, writing: “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.”

They continue, “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.”

Like many of Xbox’s early 9th-gen game announcements, 2023’s Forza Motorsport was intended to be a long-lasting experience receiving updates for years to come. Unfortunately, with a less-then-stellar launch and a slow rollout of notable improvements – coupled with the lay-offs earlier this year – the writing was on the wall for Forza Motorsport.

KitGuru says: Are you surprised by the announcement? Did you have high hopes for Motorsport prior to launch? Will the series be laid to rest in favour of Horizon? Let us know down below.
