Project CARS and Project CARS 2 will be delisted this Fall
In just a matter of weeks, both the first and second entries in Slightly Mad Studio’s Project CARS lineup will be delisted permanently. The official announcement comes from EA, Codemasters, and Slightly Mad, who posted the announcement on the official Project CARS Twitter.
The reason for the delisting is not out of the ordinary. It’s all due to expiring licenses, specifically licenses for vehicles and tracks. As a result, the original Project CARS will be removed from all storefronts on October 3. And before that, Project CARS 2 will be removed on September 21.
We’ve seen this happen time and again with other titles andfranchises where the digital edition of the games are removed after about three or so years. For instance, despite the fact that four Forza titles have fully released on PC , only two are currently available to purchase — Horizon 4 & 5, the former of which will likely be delisted in another year.
As it relates to the Project CARS franchise, only the third release will remain on storefronts for now. Unfortunately, it also happens to be the weakest of entries according to both critics and series fans alike.
