Summary
Developer Turn 10 Studios is treating players to a newForza Motorsportupdate, this time bringing new Spotlight cars to the Showroom, Challenge Hub rewards, events, and game improvements to celebrate Velocity Month.Forza Motorsportupdate 18 is already available for players on Xbox Series X|S and PC, while Spotlight cars and new in-game events start on March 12.
Forza Motorsportis the thirteenth main installment intheForzaseries, serving as a reboot of the sub-series. Despite the new features and enhancements introduced in the reboot, the game has struggled to satisfy fans, and the title currently holds “Mixed” reviews on Steam. However, the developer has been working hard to try to turn things around by steadily delivering content updates with plenty of new stuff for players. Now, Turn 10 Studios has yet another update for them.
Celebrating Velocity Month, Turn 10 has released update 18, which, among many things, introduces new Spotlightcars toForza Motorsport, including some making their debut in the game. Players can get their hands on the 2024 Lamborghini SC63, 2020 Oreca #38 Performance Tech Motorsports Oreca 07, 2014 Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon, and more, all available in the Showroom. Moreover, players can earn the 2021 Lamborghini Countach LPI 800-4 and the 2018 Lotus Evora GT430 by completing Challenge Hub objectives during Velocity Month. New suits are also available during the month, with the Good Luck Suit and Cosmic Suit added to the Challenge Hub.
While Spotlight cars and new in-game events begin on March 12, players can already enjoy several improvements that have arrived with update 18. Turn 10 has made improvements toForza Motorsport’s multiplayermatchmaking service to help fill lobbies with more players. Changes to HDR displays have also been implemented, as some players experienced their HDR Brightness value being automatically configured, causing the image to appear flat.
Update 18 also increases the duration of short-length races from 8 to 10 minutes in Featured Multiplayer, as well as enabling the lap counter for Timed Races, including Practice and Multi-Class Races. An issue that caused other players to show up in the driver list in Multi-Class events with incorrect sorting after switching car groups has also been fixed in Featured Multiplayer.
LikepreviousForza Motorsportupdates, this one addresses a number of issues reported by players, such as game crashes when purchasing or upgrading certain cars. Stability improvements have also been introduced for players resuming the game after it has been suspended. Additionally, more fixes related to gameplay, tracks, and UI have been applied across all platforms. WithForza Motorsport’s Velocity Month, players have plenty of new content and activities to look forward to.
