Forza Motorsport Update 4 Released, Patch Notes Revealed

Turn 10 has today released Update 4.0 for Forza Motorsport, which is one of the game’s largest patches so far. Since launching in the final months of 2023, Turn 10 has continued to release a lot of new updates for its eighth mainline Forza game, many of which has focused on fixing bugs and other small issues. Now, a much more substantial patch has gone live that is less about bug fixes and is more geared toward adding new content to Forza Motorsport. 

Downloadable now across Xbox and PC, this new Forza Motorsport update brings a variety of new cars and events to the racing title. While not all of these events and vehicles are available right now, they will begin to become unlockable in the weeks ahead. By far the most notable new arrival with Update 4, though, is the inclusion of the Daytona International Speedway, which is one of the most popular racetracks in the world. Now, players can race for themselves at Daytona in two variants of the speedway. 

To get a look at everything that has come to Forza Motorsport with this new update, you can find the patch notes below.
