Many of Xbox's subsidiaries are getting hit by the layoffs this morning, including Call of Duty studios such as Raven. Big cuts at Forza Motorsport developer Turn 10 - nearly 50% of staff, per source.

50%. Forza Motorsport as an IP is dead then, sounds like they've been demoted to a support studio for Forza Horizon.

Damn. I know Forza Motorsport (2023) wasn't the huge success they wanted it to be, with the 2nd lowest critic score and lowest user reviews in the whole series, and lackluster player counts (#81 most played as of today on Xbox), but still, this one feels a bit harsh. 50% implies they will no longer be allowed to make Forza games of their own, that they are mainly being kept around to update the ForzaTech Engine and assist Playground with modeling cars to make sure the car count is high in Forza Horizon 6.
