Project Motor Racing developers refuse season passes, won’t follow Forza and Gran Turismo

Project Motor Racing is stepping away from the genre’s standard practices. The team won’t rely on season passes for income, instead presenting an alternative model for progression.

At the Tokyo Game Show, GIANTS Software and Straight4 Studios brought renewed attention to the title. The developers unveiled new cars and the Sebring circuit — and, most importantly, emphasized their intention to do things differently from rivals.

“No passes. No arenas. No subscriptions,” said Straight4 head Ian Bell. From day one, Project Motor Racing will offer a complete online experience with no extra charges or hidden limitations. Players will have access to monthly ranked championships with rotating tracks, driver leaderboards, custom lobbies, and quick social races tailored for newcomers.

The multiplayer framework looks extensive and is designed to enable fair competition without any price barrier.

At TGS 2025 the team also announced new partners: Acura, Chevrolet, Mazda, Mercedes-AMG, Nissan, and Toyota. The garage will feature the Mazda 787B, Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R, and Toyota GR Supra GT4 Evo. The overall car roster now totals 70 models.
