, by Mark Verwoert, 3 min reading time

Forza Motorsport updates 1.0 and 1.1 have been released. In this article, we will tell you exactly what has been changed. Furthermore, you'll learn more about the upcoming Forza Motorsport community update. This is everything you need to know.

One of the most popular racing games out there is Forza Motorsport. It’s known for its breathtaking graphics and the wide range of cars to choose from. However, it hasn’t been all glamor with Forza Motorsport, as the game is battling the many bugs that are tormenting players.

The Forza Motorsport 1.0 update is the first step out of two to fix a lot of these bugs. In November 2023, we expect the Forza Motorsport Community 2 update to be released.

This update will continue on the progress made by 1.0. It’s a positive sign that the developer is taking significant action to further improve the game experience.

    What we can expect from the Forza Motorsport Community Update

    As I said before, we are expecting an additional update from Forza Motorsport in November 2023. This update is called the Forza Motorsport Community update. The purpose of this update is in the name. By listening to the community, Forza Motorsport has created a list of bugs that need to be addressed. It's my hope that this update will continue the good work of the Forza Motorsport 1.0 update. The game is beautiful and it gives you a true racing experience. Therefore, our experience will only become better with the fixes.
