GIANTS Software Game Engine to Power Upcoming Project Motor Racing developed by Straight4 Studios

GIANTS Software :

Fresh from revealing GIANTS Software as publisher for the new sim racing game Project Motor Racing comes the announcement that Straight4 Studios and GIANTS have now entered a long-term technical partnership.
This partnership will see the game engine used on the hit Farming Simulator franchise driving Project Motor Racing straight into its scheduled 2025 release.


A Partnership of Genre Trailblazers


GIANTS Software and Straight4 Studios have been collaborating on integrating the GIANTS engine into Project Motor Racing since 2023. Both studios are already deep into the development phase of tuning the engine for sim racing-specific duty.


The GIANTS Engine was developed from the ground up and saw the light of day in 2008 in the first Farming Simulator. Since then, it has been continuously developed and used in all common platforms, so that today it easily meets the latest technical requirements for PC and console gaming.


Boris Stefan, CSO & Head of Publishing at GIANTS Software said, “When we committed to self-publishing Farming Simulator in 2021, we made no secret that we were on the lookout for external titles that slotted into our vision. In Straight4 Studios, we found the ideal candidate: a studio that, like us, want to create world-class simulation, and a new project from a high-profile studio to enrich our publishing portfolio.”


“Straight4 and GIANTS both share deep simulation roots and high production values,” said Kevin Boland, CDO at Straight4. “Competing in the specialized and technically challenging sim racing arena with Project Motor Racing is a testament to the versatility of the GIANTS Engine. We’re sure both Farming Simulator fans and sim racers will come out as winners from this partnership.”


Ian Bell, CEO at Straight4 Studios, noted: “Developing a new generation of sim racing games requires that we solve some hard questions. Foremost is how to align our state-of-the-art physics engine alongside the graphic fidelity that our fans demand from us. In the GIANTS Engine, we have found the solution: a game engine that allows us to build a beautiful simulator while ensuring framerates do not suffer as a result.”


Project Motor Racing, currently being developed for PC and consoles, will be released in 2025. Visit the newly launched ProjectMotorRacing.com, giants-software.com, Straight4.com, and the GIANTS Software press area for more information.
