But now there&#8217;s only a handful of them and most are long running series like GT, Mario Kart, or F1.<\/p>\n<p>Racing is in the same situations like fighting game genre although currently fighting game got a resurgent again with SF 6, GG Strive, Tekken 8, VF, Fatal Fury, Marvel Tokon etc. Currently there&#8217;s tons of fighting games from new to old that got re-release and it feels like 90&#8217;s to early 2000 era again where people are craving to play fighting games and they got what they want.

The point that I&#8217;m sure M$ is looking at is &#8211; why continue it? They don&#8217;t need a more serious racing game to go head-to-head with GT. It&#8217;s not going to move the needle anymore. And Horizon is now on PlayStation&#8230; so they actually get a bigger market that has to pay full-price (as compared to GP freebies).<\/p>\n<p>M$ exBox has made a complete strategic re-evaluation, and anything that doesn&#8217;t support that new strategy is now being dropped&#8230; or if it has made bank in years. If M$ is going full third-party&#8230; why support a game that can&#8217;t be ported to it&#8217;s biggest potential market (PlayStation) due to an existing dominant competitor?<\/p>\n<p>I 100% agree that competition is good&#8230; but the only competition M$ now cares about is your dollars, and time&#8230; it doesn&#8217;t give a crap about &#8220;XB exclusive&#8221;. And that&#8217;s why FM is being degraded &#8211; perhaps prior to relabelling as a support studio (as suggested above). As much as it hurts to see the industry imploding, from a corporate over-lord&#8217;s perspective, this is exactly the sort of thing we&#8217;re now going to see more of, given that XB is no longer a console competitor.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<ul class=\"ui-comment-tools\">\n<li class=\"likes first last\">0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<article class=\"comment\" id=\"comment8724973\" data-author=\"users\/342389\" data-subject=\"comments\/8724973\" data-dislikes=\"0\" data-id=\"8724973\">\n<p class=\"avatar\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"framed lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.pushsquare.com\/users\/342389\/avatar.jpg?v=1729762822\" width=\"80\" height=\"80\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Oz_Who_Dat_Dare\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"detail\">\n<ul class=\"info\">\n<li class=\" first\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"num\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"news\/2025\/07\/gran-turismos-primary-console-competitor-may-be-no-more#comment8724973\">44<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Oz_Who_Dat_Dare<\/li>\n<li class=\" last\"><time data-days=\"5\" class=\"date age \" datetime=\"2025-07-05T08:25:21+00:00\">Yesterday, 9:25am<\/time><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<section class=\"text\">\n<p>@Nem I think Assetto Corsa Competizione is actually a very strong racing sim &#8211; especially as it&#8217;s entire cross platform.

Their approach is to build a monopoly of publishing (as much as they can) to make it unavoidable that you&#8217;ll need to play their games &#8211; and eventually it will be play their games by their rules (ie subscription). Why would they sell off teams to generate further competition for themselves&#8230; I do have to admit though, selling off the &#8220;rights&#8221; to TangoWorks was unexpected &#8211; but most of the talent in the studio had already left, so it was sort of positive (after very negative) news without a lot of meaning.<\/p>\n<p>I just want further diversity &#8211; whether it&#8217;s M$, P$, or Ubi$oft (I was going to do \u20acA to continue the currency theme&#8230;but EA really isn&#8217;t that European, so was a bit of a stretch).
