Motorsport Games has provided a brief, and positive, update about Le Mans Ultimateon PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
Slated for a 2027 release, with a more accurate window yet to be defined, a third-party porting agency is working with MSG and Studio 397 on the conversion.
Now, it has been confirmed that LMU is in a playable form on both PS5 and Xbox, and that this build has been delivered ahead of schedule.
“We have reached another major milestone with a playable development version of Le Mans Ultimate now running on console slightly ahead of our December schedule,” said Motorsport Games Chief Executive Officer Stephen Hood during a recent earnings report.
“It is demanding work, but it opens the game to a much larger audience and what we learn will benefit our future releases.”
The development work being currently ahead of schedule doesn’t necessarily mean it will be released early next year. But rather, that there’s additional time now to test, refine and, in theory, less of a rush to launch.
On-track for a 2027 launch
“We are still on track for ‘27 [console release], I think I’ve maintained for quite some time,” continued Hood.
“It is a complex project and we are going to define that [release] window as we get closer to a public launch.
“[This is a] key milestone for us, really, to prove that [development] is doing phenomenally well, we do have a playable version of that console build now on both PlayStation and Xbox.
“And it’s a vital milestone, actually delivered ahead of time because we’re still in November and we’re expecting it for December to close out the year.
“So it’s a big win for everybody in the studio and our technology partner.”
Recent sim racing titles Rennsport and Project Motor Racing launched on consoles alongside PC a year ago, only to be beset by technical issues.
However, both Assetto Corsa and Assetto Corsa Competizione (second time around) have been popular on Sony and Microsoft devices. BeamNG was recently only bested in PS5 sales by Call of Duty.
Le Mans Ultimate should be joined by both Assetto Corsa EVO and Assetto Corsa Rally on consoles in 2027, too. Popular driving simulations, Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator, join a long list of upcoming console conversions.
