Forza Motorsport – Update 7 is Live, Adds Brands Hatch and Reduces Installation Size

Turn 10 Studios has released its latest update for Forza Motorsport, bringing new events to Career, Featured Multiplayer and Rivals mode. There’s also a brand new track, Brands Hatch, and three new vehicles for Car Pass holders, with the 2019 Ginetta G55 GT4 available this week starting at 5 PM PT on April 10th.

Perhaps one of the more underrated changes in Update 7 is a reduced installation footprint for the title. On Xbox Series X/S, its size is reduced by 25 GB, while the PC version weighs 29 GB less. Various fixes to multiplayer, the Livery Editor and more, alongside changes to Forza Race Regulations and Proximity Arrows, are also available.
