The big war cry for the second Tour of Champions in Forza Motorsport did indeed come courtesy of Turn 10 Studios, but gamers are mostly focused on the elephant in the room. The official tweet teased three regional racing series (American, Eastern, and European Touring Cars) and a juicy prize—the 1989 Audi #4 Audi 90 Quattro IMSA GTO. Now, that’s the moment when the battling began in the replies section, consisting of concerns, memes, and utter confusion.
Now, for the good news: The Tour of the Champions Cup did return, with eight races per region, allowing players to grind through 24 events in total. The prize car, that old Audi, is a serious collector’s item for any virtual gearhead. But here’s the thing: No one’s talking about it. Instead, what fills the replies are comments such as “Is Forza Motorsport dead?” and “Why aren’t you talking about layoffs?”
One user, @Mr_McFeastiado, basically put it out there for the developers: “With the recent news about all the layoffs at T10, and players being worried about Forza Motorsport’s future and continued support, an official statement from you guys regarding this matter wouldn’t hurt.” And honestly? He’s right. The silence from Turn 10 is deafening—especially with players dropping money on the title expecting it ever to receive support long term.
Then, troll time. @IsXboxStillLast (who, by the way, lists PS5 in their bio, so take that for what it is) shot: “Forza community are complaining that there’s no more FM games.🤣” Then @Gametrailzers said: “Lmao this game is getting better updates than GT7 🤣🤣🤣,” and it was back and forth between those two in a full-on console war in the comment section. Honestly? Entertaining if that riles you up.
Not everyone was cracking up. Some, like @Dantass77, were pleading for the update: “Hey guys, please don’t stop updating the game. We don’t need a new FM; we just want this one with more tracks. Still waiting for Monza, and maybe Interlagos someday.” Then, others like @PeeteCZE want to keep a positive vibe: “Forza Motorsport is great and will continue to be a great game. I’m sick of trolls who take pleasure in someone else’s misfortune.”
The weirdest part? The tweet itself feels off. Like @jimnochance pointed out: “This was absolutely a scheduled/bot post, right? Gotta be. No way they’re putting out useless random tweets without addressing the elephant in the room.” And he was probably on to something, considering it really does feel like Turn 10’s social media just hit ‘post’ on some ancient draft not realizing the room was burning.
So what’s the deal? Is Forza Motorsport in trouble? Are they even laying folks off? Will we ever see Monza? No one knows, and Turn 10 certainly isn’t saying. Walking away from that, though—the Tour of the Champions Cup is still going, and that Audi prize is still up for grabs. If the game itself has a future, that’s the real race that everyone’s been waiting to finish.
So, avoid the replies for now unless your chaos meter is ready to go into overtime. Or just enjoy racing for as long as time remains.
