Forza Horizon 4

The November 20th update for Forza Horizon 4, designated 1.216.279.2 on PC and 1.216.279.0 on Xbox One, has been rolled out and is live now. It adds a new feature for cosmetics, and another one pertaining to DLCs. The former lets you select multi-material colours for several cars and rims, while also adding some entirely new rims as well. The latter now allows you to bulk add DLC cars to your player garage.

Beyond that, a few issues related to Route Blueprints have also been fixed. For instance, an issue where players might be placed at incorrect finishing lines after completing a custom route has been addressed, as has one that saw players occasionally running out of checkpoints to place and thus being unable to finish creating their route.

An exploit to extend the length of Skill Songs has been squashed as well, the cost of some engine swap upgrades has been reduced, while the ability to skip forward during post-race sequences sequences has also been added in. There are a number of other fixes, and you can find them all in the patch notes below.

Forza Horizon 4 is currently available on Xbox One and PC, and its first expansion, Fortune Island, is set to go live on December 13 for both platforms.
