Turn Turn Studios Forza Motorsport Turn 10 Studios had a grave impact of Microsoft’s brutal dismissals this week, as former employees claimed, they apparently caused a reduction in the SIM Xbox series.
Former content coordinator Motorsport Fillza, Fred Russell, stated that the franchise team is “No More”, and the other employees of Turn 10 Studios remained in a company from Washington, who focus on supporting the Forza Horizon series, which is primarily developed in the British Playground Games games.
“Turn 10 Studios closed the space of Motor Sports by Forza, and the team is no longer” – wrote Russell in post on Facebook. “A very sad day for one of the best video games of racing cars. I loved my time there.”
Responding to the comment regarding the future Turn 10, Russell noticed that “the studio is open to the support of the horizon’s website” and that Microsoft “closed only forza Motorsport.”
Chris Harding, another former employee of Turn 10 Studios, suggested that “120 people” remained “from the FM side”. Ign contacted Microsoft to get a comment.
The original Forza Motorsport from Turn 10 Studios was released for OG Xbox in 2005 and established a series as one of the basic brands of Microsoft games, as well as a grave rival of Gran Turismo from PlayStation. Since then, seven continuations of Forza Motorsport have launched, spread over each generation of the Xbox console.
But the original side of the SIM series races was increasingly overshadowed by the success of Forza Horizon, a newer spin-off franchise, which first appeared on the Xbox 360 in 2012. After a positive party in the next decade, four continuations of Forza Horizon appeared.

When the boss Xbox Phil Spencer recently confirmed that the next Forza title would appear in 2026, it was widely assumed that this meant a fresh entry in the Forza Horizon series, and not the continuation of the last Motor Sport of Forza’s motor sport in 2023, which was established as a kind of series of re -start, but was launched for a mixed answer.
Now, apparently forza Motorsport is no longer more, without any employees on Turn 10, it was not left over it.
“Heritage will remain,” said Russell, “even if there is no future of the game.”
