Motorsport Games Inc. (NASDAQ: MSGM) has released Le Mans Ultimate Version 1.0, marking the end of the game's Early Access phase. The update introduces two new cars, the Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR LMH and the Mercedes AMG LMGT3, which are now part of the base game. The BMW M4 Evo LMGT3 has also been revised and added for free. The update brings a new era of development and expansion for the official game of the FIA World Endurance Championship and the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Version 1.0 includes several key improvements, such as the addition of 2025 season liveries and new car position boards for enhanced immersion. The game's Steam store configuration has been updated, making it easier for players to access all post-launch content. Existing players who own partial content will be offered a dynamic discount to complete their collection.

The update also brings meaningful refinements to gameplay, simulation, and user experience. The LMGT3 tyre model has been revised following player and real-world feedback to reduce the steepness of grip loss and expand the thermal operating window. This update is expected to deliver a smoother, more predictable experience across all levels of skill and driving style. Usability enhancements include a reworked car setup interface, now consolidating critical elements like tyres, virtual energy, and electronics into a single, streamlined screen.

Stephen Hood, CEO of Motorsport Games, stated, "Today’s launch is an important milestone for Le Mans Ultimate and our team at Motorsport Games. We’ve worked closely with our community to deliver a simulation that balances authenticity with accessibility. With two spectacular new cars, updated physics, and key refinements, Version 1.0 represents an exciting moment for sportcar and sim racing fans."

While Version 1.0 marks the end of the Early Access phase, development of Le Mans Ultimate continues at pace. The European Le Mans Series (ELMS) is currently in production, with newly built Silverstone assets already in progress. Motorsport Games and Studio 397 will showcase a hands-on build of the European Le Mans Series experience during the Silverstone ELMS weekend in September. The team is also working on a full-featured single-player career mode, offering players the ability to progress through contracts, teams, and driver reputation, with a release planned for early 2026.
