THQ drops GTR for Xbox 360

Publisher to focus on internally developed Stuntman, Juiced and MX franchises.

THQ has confirmed that it is no longer publishing the SimBin developed GTR for Xbox 360.

"THQ and SimBin are no longer working together on the GTR Xbox 360 videogame," THQ revealed this afternoon. "Our focus within the racing genre is continuing to build THQ's internally developed Stuntman, Juiced and MX franchises."

GTR has proved a huge hit on the PC where its ultra realistic racing is perhaps best suited. It's not all over for the Xbox 360 version though; it's possible another publisher could step in to rescue the project.
