I’m usually the first to bemoan the modernForzagames’ ridiculous insistence on temporarily adding new content to the game, only to yank it back out in a few weeks’ time, but this time I’ve got better news. Turn 10 announced thatForza Motorsportis un-sunsetting its timed content.
Well, alright, it’s notalltimed content that’s coming back toForza Motorsport, and there are still some problems left for Turn 10 to discuss, but this is excellent news regardless, and it ought to be celebrated. In arecent blog post on Steambearing the mysterious, initially equally ominousandpromising title to “A Message to the Motorsport Community,” this blog is basically all good news through-and-through. Between new tracks, the new Drift Mode, more ways to unlock timed rewards, and Builders’ Cup upgrades,Forza Motorsportfans have got much to look forward to.
Turn 10 announces oodles of good news for Forza Motorsport, including the big un-sunsetting of content
To get the elephant out of the room first, the un-sunsetting ofForza Motorsport‘s annoyingly timed contentisn’t going to be comprehensive. Not yet, at least, as Turn 10 is currently only going to addselecttemporary cups and rewards from prior seasons to the game: “Later this year, we will add select series and rewards from previous updates as permanent additions to the Builders Cup,” says the announcement, adding that “next year we’ll be introducing a number of permanent race car-focused Tours to the Career.”
Not bad, right? This builds on top of the announcement of the new Challenge Hub feature, too, which will allow players to unlock specific timed and permanent rewards in a variety of different ways. Upgrades to Builder’s Cup and the Challenge Hub should help alleviate some ofMotorsport‘s most annoying FOMO, in theory. If Turn 10 continues to upgrade Builder’s Cup on a yearly(ish) basis, though, there won’t be much to complain about in this regard.
Before the end of the year, Turn 10 has also promised all of the following boons:
And loads more, which you can read about in the full blog post over on Steam. Should many of these features have been in the game on day one? Absolutely. Is it still good that Turn 10 is looking to continue improvingForza Motorsportfor the foreseeable future, though? Absolutely. “In 2025, we will continue to update Forza Motorsport, and as in 2024, this will include new features, bug fixes, and additional cars and tracks,” says the blog.
As I mentioned earlier, there are still some problems that Turn 10 needs to deal with outside of adding morepermanentcontent to the game.Forza Motorsport‘s performance and stability are still somewhat iffy on PC, to begin with, and its always-online nature leaves much to be desired for those of us who are on shoddy, unstable Internet. So, perhaps, the next time Turn 10 posts a “message to the Motorsport community,” they might tackle these issues head-on. In the interim, kudos!
