Planned to include driver swaps, team-based play and custom liveries along with the final 2024 season DLC, the Le Mans Ultimate Update 5 and 2024 Pack 5 have now been delayed until June 10th, 2025.
Orginally scheduled for early May, Motorsport Games and developers Studio 397 now have a few additional weeks to try and get things in place.
“As we approached our original deadline, we realised that delivering these major systems at the standard we expect – and you expect – needed just a bit more time,” explained Stephen Hood
The Le Mans Ultimate 2024 Pack 5 DLC is the final instalment of the 2024 DLC Season Pass and includes two LMGT3 cars, plus the Lusail International Circuit.
Update 5 will include Driver Swaps and Teams, Custom Liveries for RaceControl Pro and Pro+ members, Teams and Driver Swaps manageable in-game for Hosted and Special Events, and a Team Online Championship mode for RaceControl Pro and Pro+ subscribers.
It now means the update and DLC will launch a few days before the 2025 24 Hours of Le Mans race, so that’s one slight updside for Motorsport Games, assuming that everything works as planned. And delays do have a habit of raising the expectations of impatient sim racers and gamers.
“As we approached our original deadline, we realised that delivering these major systems at the standard we expect – and you expect – needed just a bit more time,” explained Stephen Hood, Motorsports Games CEO.
