Straight4 Studios says Project Motor Racing patch 1.5.0.2 is on the way later this week, arriving during what has been a tough time for the team. The studio confirmed it had to reduce staff earlier this week, calling the decision heartbreaking, stressing and not a reflection of anyone’s talent or effort. Straight4 thanked those leaving for the passion they brought to the project and said it’s working to support them as they move on.
Despite the setback, the studio emphasized that its commitment to Project Motor Racing hasn’t changed. The launch fell short of expectations and Straight4 acknowledged that openly, saying the focus now is on rebuilding trust by improving the game piece by piece. The team plans to continue refining physics, strengthening core systems and shaping the experience into something closer to what players expected.
Alongside the update on the studio’s situation, Straight4 offered a quick preview of what’s coming in patch 1.5.0.2. Full details will land when the update goes live, but for now, players can look forward to reworked GT3 and GT4 tire behavior, handling improvements across several classes, a better overall force feedback feel, increased online stability, smoother UI interactions and upgrades to visuals and lighting.
