Project Motor Racing has pulled its Japanese GT500 Pack from sale across storefronts less than a month after release. (traxion.gg) Traxion reported on April 23 that the add-on is still listed on Steam and PlayStation but cannot be purchased, while the Xbox store listing has disappeared. The pack launched on March 31, 2026. (traxion.gg) The downloadable pack added nine cars and one track: five modern GT500 cars, four older Japanese Grand Touring Championship cars, and Takimiya Circuit. Steam’s store page still shows the full car list and says the content requires the base game. (store.steampowered.com) Publisher GIANTS Software and developer Straight4 Studios announced the pack on March 31 as a mix of current Super GT-style machinery and older JGTC-era cars, plus a “fully scanned” Japanese circuit. The release was positioned as Project Motor Racing’s first regular DLC after its 2.0 update. (gamespress.com) (overtake.gg) The removal leaves a gap in a game that has leaned heavily on unusual licensed cars and tracks to stand out in the sim-racing market. Traxion said official social posts about the pack were deleted and mentions on the game’s website were removed. (traxion.gg) As of April 23, no public explanation had been posted by Straight4 Studios or GIANTS Software. Traxion and OverTake both said they contacted the companies for comment and had not received a response at publication time. (traxion.gg) (overtake.gg) Players who already bought the pack can still use it, according to reports from Traxion and OverTake. That means the immediate disruption is centered on new buyers, Season Pass expectations, and any game modes tied to that content. (traxion.gg) (overtake.gg) Project Motor Racing’s official site currently lists other downloadable packs, including the GTE Decade Pack and Group 5 Revival Pack, but not the Japanese GT500 Pack. For now, the missing pack is still visible in some stores and absent from the game’s own DLC lineup. (projectmotorracing.com) (store.steampowered.com)
