Forza Motorsport and Forza Horizon 5 to Continue Receiving Updates Amidst Layoff Rumors
Recent speculation regarding widespread layoffs at Turn 10 Studios and the potential cessation of development for the Forza Motorsport series has been directly addressed by the developers. Turn 10 and Playground Games have confirmed that both Forza Motorsport and Forza Horizon 5 will continue to receive ongoing support and updates.
In a public statement shared on social media, the teams behind the popular racing franchises expressed gratitude to their dedicated community. They explicitly stated their commitment to both titles, reassuring players that there are no plans to abandon either project.
Specifically for Forza Motorsport, players can look forward to new content in the near future. This includes the introduction of fresh themed tours, opportunities to earn new cars by completing in-game challenges, and new rival events to test their skills. The next content update for Forza Motorsport is scheduled to launch on September 4th.
While the statement provided clear assurances for the immediate future of the two games, it notably did not comment on the broader future of the entire Forza Motorsport series. This absence of comment comes after insider reports suggested that up to half of Turn 10's staff were laid off during a July restructuring. These reports also claimed that Turn 10 might now primarily function as a support studio for the Horizon series, with the main line of Motorsport development allegedly being put on hold.
Meanwhile, development on Forza Horizon 6 is reportedly underway at Playground Games, with the studio also actively working on a reboot of the beloved RPG franchise, Fable.
For players, this announcement means that the immediate pipeline of content for both Forza Motorsport and Forza Horizon 5 is secure, ensuring continued engagement with their favorite racing titles. However, the long-term trajectory of the core Motorsport series itself, in light of unaddressed industry rumors, remains a subject of ongoing discussion among fans and analysts.
