Le Mans Ultimate June Update Lands Alongside BMW M Hybrid LMDh and Art Car Livery

MIAMI, Florida – June 10, 2024 – Motorsport Games Inc. (NASDAQ: MSGM) is today releasing a major update to Le Mans Ultimate, the official game of the FIA World Endurance Championship and 24 Hours of Le Mans. This June update introduces significant new features and new content to enhance the player experience.

The update includes the introduction of new gameplay features requested by the community such as a Radar to help players with situational awareness in close-quarter situations. Also added to the title is a Replay Suite, that allows players to review and analyze their race performance has also been added. Race starts have also been improved and designed to provide a more controlled and engaging procedure in offline and online races. Furthermore, Driver Labels have been added to assist users in knowing the cars around them in all game modes.

Perhaps less visible, but there under the hood, is a new version of the online “netcode”. This forms a foundation on which is expected to deliver support for the next generation esports and community led massively multiplayer experience planned for the game.

A key highlight of the update is the addition of the BMW M Hybrid V8 LMDh, the first free item of DLC, which celebrates BMW’s 25th anniversary of its first outright win at Le Mans. This update features the striking BMW Art Car livery designed by renowned artist Julie Mehretu. This livery marks the 20th addition to the legendary BMW Art Car collection and makes its virtual debut in Le Mans Ultimate before the real car races in the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Additionally, an array of new 2024 Hypercar liveries for existing cars will be available free of charge, offering more customization options for players. Looking ahead, the 2024 season content will include four new Hypercars, four new circuits, and seven GT3 cars, with releases scheduled throughout the next 12 months. Special early access gifts, including two GT3 cars and the 24 Hours of Le Mans liveries, will be available for free to all players in time.

Stephen Hood, CEO of Studio 397 and Motorsport Games, expressed the company’s dedication to enhancing the player experience: “Our team has been dedicated to transforming player feedback into tangible enhancements that enrich the Le Mans Ultimate experience. The upcoming 2024 content, including new cars and circuits, is set to provide outstanding value and deepen engagement for our community. We’re still early on in the race and are excited about this being the first of many stints to the chequered flag.”

Le Mans Ultimate June Update is available now in Early Access on Steam. Players can purchase the game and redeem the new BMW Hypercar DLC for free, including the eagerly anticipated Art Car livery.
