Dear players,
Tour de France 2025 has now been available for a week, and we want to thank you for your enthusiasm and support!
On June 5, we hosted a livestream on Twitch to celebrate the release (make sure to follow us so you don’t miss future events!). Matthis Gras (Product Manager for TDF and PCM at Nacon) and Ghislain Marfaing (Community Manager at Nacon) were live to answer your questions from the chat.
Here are some highlights from the Q&A:
Q: UE 5.6 was recently released. Are there any plans to update the game to this newer version? Will DLSS support be added?
A: The game currently runs on Unreal Engine 5.4. We don’t plan to update it to 5.5 or 5.6 this year.
Q: Is the new Champs-Élysées stage included in TDF 2025?
A: Not this year, as the official route was revealed too late to implement in time. If the stage remains the same next year, we might include it then.
Q: Are there any plans to bring TDF 2025 to the PlayStation Plus catalogue?
A: Not at the moment. However, this has happened in previous years, so it’s something we might consider a few months after launch.
Q: Is it possible to play a full season in Multiplayer mode with friends in PCM?
A: Yes, you can play a full season of Multiplayer Tournaments with friends in Pro Cycling Manager.
Q: Does Tour de France 2025 support crossplay?
A: Crossplay is on our roadmap, possibly for next season.
Q: Are rider stats identical in Crit Mode for all team leaders and domestiques?
A: Rider categories (like sprinters vs. climbers) have different stats. However, riders within the same category have equal stats.
Q: Are the difficulty sliders from PCM also available in Tour de France?
A: No, difficulty sliders are exclusive to PCM.
Q: How do you have the license for the Quick-Step jersey but not the rider names?
A: Rider image rights are handled individually, which can vary by team. However, jersey usage falls under a separate agreement, which is why we can include it.
Q: Is there a chance you’ll acquire licenses for teams like Quick-Step during the year?
A: We remain in regular contact with Quick-Step and other teams/brands to try and secure rider licenses. Unfortunately, it’s not currently possible with Quick-Step.
Thanks again for all your questions and continued support. More updates are coming soon — stay tuned!
