MIRAMAR, Fla., Sept. 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Motorsport Games Inc. (NASDAQ: MSGM) ("Motorsport Games" or the "Company"), a racing game developer, publisher, and esports ecosystem provider of official motorsport racing series, today released version 1.4.2 of Le Mans Ultimate, delivering the second instalment of the U.S. Track Pass, updated 2026 Le Mans and European Le Mans Series liveries, a first look at the redeveloped RaceControl.gg platform, and continued stability and matchmaking improvements across online play.
Version 1.4.2 builds on the momentum of Version 1.4, released July 28, 2026, which introduced U.S. Track Pack 1, the first wave of U.S. content including the WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca and Daytona International Speedway. U.S. Track Pack 1 received a positive reception from the Le Mans Ultimate community and saw strong engagement, not only within the U.S. but across global markets generally, achieving Le Mans Ultimate's biggest DLC launch day revenues. In fact, the release of U.S. Track Pack 1 contributed to Motorsport Games’ second-best day in terms of total daily sales since the Le Mans Ultimate's Early Access launch in February 2024.
The latest update (Version 1.4.2) expands the U.S. DLC offering with US Track Pack 2, adding Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta and the Streets of Long Beach circuit to Le Mans Ultimate. Road Atlanta joins the roster ahead of the real-world Petit Le Mans, with an in-game 10-hour endurance special event the following week after release, while Long Beach becomes the title's first true street circuit. U.S. Track Pack 2 is priced at $19.99 (local currency pricing applies). The content is included automatically for U.S. Track Pass holders and RaceControl Pro+ subscribers.
The update also brings Le Mans Ultimate's livery roster in line with the 2026 racing season, adding the LMP2 and LMGT3 24 Hours of Le Mans specials — following the Hypercar class update in Version 1.4. Alongside this, the European Le Mans Series grid has been refreshed across all three classes to reflect the 2026 season.
Motorsport Games has also provided the first public preview of the redeveloped RaceControl.gg, the online home of Le Mans Ultimate's multiplayer and RaceControl services. Built on the RaceOS platform introduced in Version 1.4, the new site is designed to improve functionality and user experience, including a full upcoming race schedule and the ability for players to register for online events directly from the website. Further functionality will continue to roll out ahead of Version 1.5.
"Version 1.4.2 reflects our continued commitment to refining the online and player experience for our community, alongside exciting new content with U.S. Track Pack 2 and updated 2026 liveries," said Stephen Hood, CEO of Motorsport Games. "We're also excited to give players their first look at the new RaceControl.gg, a key part of the platform investment we've been building toward. This crucial next step further enables us to own and manage our technology within our online ecosystem. With U.S. Track Pack 3 and further single-player development on the way, we remain focused on delivering our most ambitious update yet with Version 1.5."
Le Mans Ultimate Version 1.4.2 is available now on Steam. For the full change log and additional information, visit www.lemansultimate.com.
