Motorsport Games Inc. (NASDAQ: MSGM) (“Motorsport Games” or “the
Company”) is today releasing the next landmark update for “Le Mans
Ultimate”, the official game of the FIA World Endurance
Championship and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. This latest update this
release introduces a suite of innovative features including online
driver swaps for Special Events, an online community Team
Management system, the addition of customized liveries, and the
completion of the 2024 WEC season content included in the 2024
Season Pass.
The June update will mark the debut of the
long-awaited driver swap functionality, a core pillar of endurance
racing that allows players to hand over control of the car to a
teammate during live online races. Initially available in curated
Special Events, the system enables mid-race driver transitions in
the pitlane and is expected to create special moments of endurance
racing that players can share with their team-mates. This marks the
beginning of a deeper push into team-based online championships and
future league play, powered by our online matchmaking and data
platform RaceControl.
Alongside this, players will be able to form
persistent teams within the game with their friends and
communities, allowing them to establish a team identity and
assigning roles such as drivers, engineers and managers. Using the
built-in team management tools, players can coordinate line-ups,
register for events, and manage multiple squads (lineups), offering
a level of organisation and strategy previously unseen in the
title.
The update also introduces the first iteration
of the game’s custom livery system. Available for online
multiplayer events, liveries can be designed using downloadable
templates and then uploaded directly inside the game into
RaceControl, where they are rendered, stored, and shared with all
participants in online races. This system ensures that every player
and spectator sees the correct car design during events, creating a
more immersive and personalised racing experience. The feature is
exclusive to RaceControl Pro and Pro+ subscribers, with limited
access available to Lite users participating in Pro-owned teams
during Team races.
In addition to these core features, the Pack 4
of the 2024 Season pass is simultaneously being released,
completing the 2024 FIA WEC season content with the introduction of
the Lusail International Circuit – recreated using the latest 2024
laser-scan data – and the addition of two eagerly anticipated GT3
entries: the Lamborghini Huracán LMGT3 Evo2 and the Lexus RC F
LMGT3.
Pack 5 is on sale at an early
access price of £9.99 / €11.99 /
$12.99 or users can purchase the Season Pass
for £39.99 / €46.99 / $48.99. With this final
wave of content, Le Mans Ultimate now features a total of 11 tracks
with 21 layouts and 25 cars with 11 Hypercars, 1 LMP2, 4 GTEs, and
9 LMGT3s across the base game and optional 2024 Season Pass.
“This is a pivotal moment for Le Mans Ultimate
and for everyone in our community,” said Stephen Hood, CEO of
Motorsport Games. “The features arriving in this update—driver
swaps, team tools, and customized car liveries, along with the
completed 2024 content—represent the core of endurance racing.
We’ve listened closely to our players and this update reflects our
shared vision for the future of the title. It is only the beginning
of what’s still to come and we will be holding a special update on
13th June for our community to give an insight on the future of the
title.”
The June 10 update also includes refinements to
the LMGT3 tyre model, updated race start procedures, and other
enhancements to gameplay. Motorsport Games has confirmed that more
information on upcoming features and the game’s development roadmap
is expected to be revealed during the Automobile Club de l’Ouest
(ACO) press conference at Le Mans on June 13, 2025 and via the Le
Mans Ultimate YouTube and social media accounts.
