KT Racing and Nacon have revealed that they have delayed the upcoming racing title Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown to 2023. Alongside the lengthy announcement comes a blow to last-gen players, as the PS4 and Xbox One versions of the game were also cancelled.

Here’s the announcement of the Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown being delayed via Steam:

Dear TDU fans,

This is the first article in a long series where we will be sharing information on the game’s development and some of the exciting things you will experience in Test Drive Unlimited: Solar Crown.

In this blogpost, we’ll be sharing more details about the clans in Solar Crown: the Streets and the Sharps. But first, the most important bit of news is that the game will now be releasing in 2023. With so much support from fans of the series, we know many of you will be disappointed, but our goal with Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown is to make it the most polished gaming experience in the franchise by spending more time on its development. We therefore want to thank the fan community for your support and daily involvement on the game’s official Discord channel and within communities on the various social media platforms.

The post also mentions that the team is preparing a schedule for closed betas, as well as revealing that the last-gen versions of the game have been cancelled.

We also want to take advantage of the extra development time to optimize the game and get you more involved. We are currently working on a schedule for closed betas. The more impatient among you will get the chance to test the game long before it releases. This phase will allow us to gather your valuable feedback so we can keep improving the game’s quality until it releases, while also staying in more regular contact with you. Finally, with the aim of making the most of the technology in the latest consoles and maximising the overall quality of the game, NACON has decided to no longer develop Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown for PlayStation®4 and Xbox One.

While this may come as a huge blow to last-gen players, it’s not exactly unsurprising. A slew of recent games have been opting out of releasing on PS4 and Xbox One, with the latest being Gotham Knights, as revealed here.

Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown is releasing for PS5, Xbox Series consoles, and PC sometime in 2023.
