Ten years ago, Motorsport Manager asked racing fans to stop driving and start deciding, and a whole genre followed it into the pit lane. The anniversary being celebrated today is as much about the community that kept those championships running as it is about the game itself, and the studio is using the milestone to point straight at what comes next.

November 9, 2026 marks 10 years of Motorsport Manager on PC, and UK developer Playsport Games is celebrating a decade of racing strategy, community creativity and championship-winning moments, while looking ahead to the next chapter of the franchise. To mark the milestone, the team has released a special 10th anniversary trailer, reflecting on the game’s legacy and the community that has helped shape it over the past decade.

The celebrations also include a 10th Anniversary Livery Competition, inviting fans to design racing liveries that will be featured in the upcoming Motorsport Manager 2, launching on PC in 2027. Four winning designs will make it into the game, with winners also getting the opportunity to help create an in-game character. For those looking to revisit where it all began, or experience the original for the first time, Motorsport Manager is currently 80% off on Steam as part of the anniversary celebrations.

Originally released on PC in November 2016 and published by SEGA, Motorsport Manager gave racing fans a different way to experience the world of motorsport. Rather than taking the wheel themselves, players stepped into the role of Team Principal, responsible for building their own racing team, managing drivers and staff, developing cars, securing sponsorships and making the crucial strategic decisions that could make or break a championship.

Sam White, Co-Founder of Playsport Games, said: “It’s amazing to look back at the creation of the original Motorsport Manager, the journey across PC and mobile, the ambitions of the team at the time, and what it means to celebrate ten years of the game. The players have made this franchise what it is today, and we’re excited for players to get their hands on Motorsport Manager 2, and continue their racing legacy.”

Since its arrival on PC, Motorsport Manager has built a lasting legacy among racing and management game enthusiasts, and the original game continues to enjoy a Very Positive rating on Steam. The franchise has also continued to evolve across multiple platforms, with Motorsport Manager Mobile 2, Mobile 3 and Mobile 4 expanding the series, while Motorsport Manager Online introduced competitive multiplayer experiences. Motorsport Manager 2 is set to deliver a bigger, deeper racing management experience on PC in 2027, and it is available to wishlist on Steam now.

The garden is no place for polite company anymore. Planted!, the chaotic multiplayer party game about hurling homegrown produce at your friends, has arrived on PC, and it is bringing its eight arenas of horticultural warfare to Steam with a launch discount.

Cloth Cat Games, a studio based in Cardiff, and publisher Curveball Games have launched Planted! on PC today, November 9, 2026. The PC release joins the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S versions, which launched on October 29, and the Steam version is available with a 10 percent discount as a thank-you to PC players for their patience.

Planted! is a game for one to four players built around extreme gardening. Players sow, grow and throw produce at goals and at each other to score points and be crowned the champion, battling across eight multiplayer arenas that range from windy mountainsides and cavernous cave systems to half-built skyscrapers and active volcanoes, with allotments and farmyards thrown in for good measure. Power-ups such as weed bombs, spud turrets and eerily green clones keep every match unpredictable, and the game supports local play and online crossplay.

There is a single-player story mode for anyone who wants to practice before facing friends. It offers cutthroat competitive gardening across different locations, with challenges and boss battles, and the skills players learn there translate directly into multiplayer matches.

Ben Cawthorne, Creative Producer at Cloth Cat Games, said: “We are super stoked that Planted! launches today on PC and consoles – what started as a fun prototype for us to test out our weird and wacky ideas on, has become a game the whole team has poured so much heart and soul into. We can’t wait to see players face off against their friends in extreme gardening, and we hope they have fun tangling with different tactics and flinging the produce they produce to score big points!” Ed Gregory, Senior Publishing Manager at Curveball Games, added: “Launching a game is always a momentous milestone – and the Cloth Cat team have created something really special with Planted! – the perfect game to boot up with your friends as you throw giant carrots (or onions, their choice) at one another.”

Planted! is out now digitally on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, with a physical PlayStation 5 edition arriving in time for Christmas. A Nintendo Switch version is planned digitally for early 2027, with a physical edition to follow later that year.
