Project Cars 3 will be officially delisted from digital sale on August 24. A notice served on its official Steam page confirmed that while the game will be delisted, anyone who purchased the game digitally will still be able to access it and redownload it in the future.
The online modes for the game will also remain active until February 24, 2026. This is effectively the end of the racing game series, as the previous games were also delisted several years ago. EA quietly retired the Project Cars series in late 2022, as the company announced that it had made the decision to “stop further development and investment” in the franchise. Project Cars 1 and 2 were removed from sale due to expiring car and track licenses, and it’s likely that this is the same reason for the upcoming delisting of Project Cars 3.
The series first kicked off in 2015, and its two sequels were released in 2017 and 2020. Additionally, there was a mobile spin-off called Project Cars Go released in 2021, and Slightly Mad also released an official–and terrible–Fast and Furious game in 2020. All three Project Cars games were originally published by Bandai Namco, and the studio was later acquired by EA in 2021 as part of a deal to purchase Codemasters.
