Forza Motorsport made its debut on Xbox earlier this month, and already the team at Turn 10 Studios is looking toward the second update for the game targeting a mid-November release.
This update is the "first content update" and will include an additional track location (Yas Marina), and will also feature over 200 fixes. Here's the full preview of what to expect:
Forza Motorsport Xbox Series X|S, PC - Update 2 (Mid-November)
Stability
- Many fixes to improve overall game stability and reduce crashes across all platforms.
Livery Editor
- Fixed issue where players can view and unlock tunes and vinyls shared by other players.
- Fixed issue causing black paint shade to show up as grey instead of black.
- Fixed issue where only the inner barrel on factory rims is paintable.
PC
- Fixed issue requiring shaders to recompile every time Forza Motorsport is started on AMD chipsets.
- Fixed specific game crash that occurs if headphones are plugged into the front panel.
Note – PC players using AMD 7900 XTX who encounter a crash at the end of races should download the latest AMD graphics driver to resolve this issue.
Multiplayer
- Fixes to matchmaking as a group, party management, and invites and joins across multiplayer.
- Fixes to ensure custom liveries show up more consistently across multiplayer game modes.
- Fixes to address cases where Intermission/Launch Countdown would take much longer than expected before the start of multiplayer races.

- Fixes to title stability when resuming from a suspended state on console.
Gameplay
- Resolved an exploit related to changing car tune mid-race.
- Fixed issue where the game becomes stuck in the “new content update” loop when entering the main menu.
- Fixes to Replays in scenarios where Replays do not start playing, the cars do not move, or they float.
- Fixed issue with a forced camera change at the start of a race.
Cars
- Fixed issue with the 2018 Porsche 718 Cayman GTS Sport Roll Cage visual upgrade option, which removes the roof of the car when viewed in first-person.
Wheels
- Fixed issue that prevented the Thrustmaster T248 LED screen from displaying race position information.
Turn 10 has also noted how it's aware of the infinite loading screen still occuring for some players after the recent hotfix and is investigating the issue - with the root cause believed to have been identified.
It also goes onto thank the community for its patience as it works to resolve the above issues with the game and will share more details about new content additions in Update 2 (including a full list of fixes and improvements) closer to the release. The developer also plans to continue working on stability "beyond Update 2", with additional improvements coming in future updates.
