Forza Studio Turn 10 Breaks Month-Long Silence On Its Future Following Recent Layoffs

Turn 10 Studios, the developer behind the Forza Motorsport franchise, has broken its month-long silence on the future of the franchise following recent layoffs that affected around 50% of its staff. Despite the challenges, the studio has assured the community that it will continue to support Forza Motorsport and Forza Horizon 5. Turn 10 has announced several upcoming events for Forza Motorsport, including the return of the Track Toys Tour as a permanent feature, with additional tours being added each month. This suggests that the studio is committed to maintaining the franchise's content and support. The layoffs at Turn 10 come at a time when the Forza franchise is experiencing positive growth on the PlayStation 5 platform, following Microsoft's shift to a multiplatform strategy for its first-party games. This has led to speculation that Forza Motorsport may eventually be ported to the PlayStation 5 as well. It's worth noting that despite the recent staff cuts, Microsoft reported a net revenue of $70.1 billion (up 13%) and a net profit of $25.8 billion (up 18%) for its latest quarter, suggesting that the company's overall financial health remains strong.
