Developer Straight4 Studios made decision as “courtesy” during discussions about “sensitive concern”; players who already purchased will not be affected

Developer Straight4 Studios announced, through an official statement, the temporary removal of the first downloadable content pack (DLC 1) for Project Motor Racing from digital platforms. The decision, described by the company as a “courtesy measure,” aims to address a “sensitive concern” while good-faith discussions continue.

What the Official Statement Says

In a statement published this Friday (24th), Straight4 Studios clarified that the temporary removal of the DLC does not represent any “finding of fault or wrongdoing” on the part of the studio or its publisher. The company emphasized that the focus remains on “safeguarding content for players and reaching a constructive resolution as quickly as possible.”

“This temporary step does not reflect any finding of fault or wrongdoing on the part of the studio or our publisher,” the official statement highlighted.

Impact on Players

One of the most important points in the announcement is the guarantee that players who have already purchased DLC 1 will not be impacted by the temporary delisting. The content will remain available and functional for those who have already made the purchase.

Similarly, Year 1 Season Pass holders will also not suffer any losses, whether in relation to this specific pack or future content included in the season pass.

Urgent Resolution Underway

Straight4 Studios stated it is working “urgently” to resolve the situation and promised to share updates once discussions are concluded. The company apologized for any inconvenience caused to fans of the racing game.
