Art of Rally launched onto Xbox Game Pass last week, and while it proved to be a lovely little title, it came with one small caveat - players were plagued with an issue that would stop them from being able to sign in. Luckily, there was a workaround for the issue, but a new patch has reportedly rectified the problem for good.
The patch also targets the language issues that were reported, and an assortment of other fixes have been deployed for controller problems when multiple players were plugged in, strobing on the Xbox Series S version and more.
Thankfully the issues have been resolved swiftly, and players who have been diving into the game seem to be loving it. Originally, Art of Rally was on PC and was met with fantastic reviews from fans and critics alike, and luckily, nothing appears to have been lost in translation. It was a bit buggy for a while, but hopefully that's all in the past now.

@Originut It is actually very difficult (a lot more so than people imagine) to release a game bug free and account for every bug. I'm going to assume that they tested it each time in the same way, on the same console they have access to, and didn't test outside cases, which is a really common thing for a dev familiar with a game to do, they just don't think to play the game like an actual player would. Possibly because the game was already out on other platforms, they might have made the mistake of assuming that because it works on those, the Xbox wouldn't have a problem. But each platform does have its own oddities and bugs.
Another potential mistake they made, was a simultaneous release on Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox One X, Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X all on the same day. Releasing on 7 consoles, when you have 3-4 programmers is going to cause a headache.
Ultimately, the game should have probably been sent out to a bunch of people they could trust to fully test the game, and it appears it wasn't. The only way to really iron out bugs in a game is to get a lot of people NOT familiar with it to play it, because the devs will be blind to the bugs, because they'll have easily played hundreds of hours by this point.
Boring pointless racing game.
