Turn 10 Studios is begonnen met het uitrollen van update 7 voor de simulatie racegame Forza Motorsport op de PC, Xbox Series S en Xbox Series X.
De update komt met een hele fijne verandering. Na het installeren van de update wordt de totale grootte van de game namelijk aanzienlijk kleiner wegens nieuwe compressietechnieken. Op de Xbox Series S en Xbox Series X is er sprake van een verkleining van 20%. Op de PC is Forza Motorsport na het installeren van update 7, maar liefst 29 GB kleiner. Verder is er een gloednieuwe circuit aan de game toegevoegd, zijn er nieuwe in-game evenementen, nieuwe auto’s als beloningen, nieuwe auto’s voor eigenaren van de Car Pass en nieuwe multiplayer events.
Verder worden er verschillende bugs aangepakt met de update. De volledige patch notes zijn onder de video hieronder te vinden. Turn 10 zegt ook alvast wanneer de volgende update gepland staat, deze komt naar verwachting rond de helft van de maand mei.
Forza Motorsport is verkrijgbaar voor de PC, Xbox Series S en Xbox Series X. De game is ook volledig speelbaar voor leden van Xbox Game Pass. Meer weten over Forza Motorsport? Lees dan hier onze uitgebreide review.
