Early Access Update 5 and Pack 5 to launch 10th June

Originally planned for early May, the upcoming major Update 5 and accompanying 2024 Pack 5 including new gameplay features and more will now release on 10th June 2025. An additional few weeks ensures that highly anticipated additions like driver swaps, team-based play, and custom liveries meet the level of quality and polish players deserve for their initial release before going into the feedback cycle in our Early Access program.

“As we approached our original deadline, we realised that delivering these major systems at the standard we expect – and you expect – needed just a bit more time,” explained Stephen Hood

These aren’t small additions to the game. With Update 5, Le Mans Ultimate takes a significant step closer to its full endurance racing vision. Alongside new cars and a new track, this update brings depth and complexity that aligns with the core spirit of the FIA World Endurance Championship.

Better yet, the new date lines up perfectly with the 2025 real-world 24 Hours of Le Mans, creating the perfect opportunity celebrate the progress of the official game as events play out during the world’s greatest motorsport event.
