Forza Motorsport Reveals New Features Coming With Next Major Update
Forza's next update will be its biggest one so far.
Turn 10 Studios has today revealed the newest features and improvements that will be seen in the next update for Forza Motorsport. Outside of Starfield, the latest Forza installment is the biggest title that Xbox has released to close out 2023. And while the racing game has already been quite well-received by most players, a slew of new additions will begin hitting Forza Motorsport in a little over a week.
Going live on November 14, Update 2 for Forza Motorsport will begin hitting Xbox Series X/S and PC platforms. Per usual with updates of this type, Turn 10 says it will be bringing a variety of bug fixes and other improvements to the game. Outside of this, though, Forza Motorsport will also be getting a new track with the Yas Marina Circuit. Additionally, a number of new cars will begin coming to Forza next week alongside a new Career Series. By all accounts, this seems to be the biggest update that Forza Motorsport has received so far which means that players should begin preparing for its launch soon.
Until that time, you can get a deeper look at the other changes that will be coming to Forza Motorsport next week down below.
