Forza Motorsport - Brands Hatch

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.

Check out some of the patch notes below and full details here. You can also read our review of the game here. Since its launch, Turn 10 Studios has made multiple improvements, adding new cars and tracks, revamping the car progression and more. Stay tuned for details on further updates in the coming days.

Game Improvements and Release Notes

  • Fixed a PC stability issue where the player would encounter an infinite loading screen when selecting Design & Paint for a car that hasn’t been purchased. [1665348]
  • We’ve added new PC audio settings for sample rate and buffer size which can be adjusted to reduce CPU usage. [1652110]
  • Proximity arrows are now enabled for all players by default in Multiplayer.
  • Proximity arrows now angle themselves based on car world position relative to the player car and camera rather than screen-space projection, providing more accurate arrow directions especially in non-chase camera views. [1637283]
