Obtain and race in several new-to-Motorsport cars, built to showcase the technical breakthroughs of high-performance engines when paired with cutting-edge aerodynamics.
Forza Motorsport Update 18 rolls out for download starting Monday, March 10 on Xbox Series X|S and PC via the Microsoft Store and Steam. Spotlight cars and new in-game events will begin on Wednesday, March 12 starting at 5:00 PM PT (12:00 AM UTC on Thursday, March 13).
Below is an overview of the changes and improvements included with Update 18:
Update 18 features the car audio updates for the 1998 Toyota Supra RZ and 2020 Toyota GR Supra. These fixes were originally intended to be released with Update 17, however due to an oversight, they were not included in the previous update. Both cars have received their improved sounds with Update 18.
Update 18 also introduces updated car audio for the 2007 Ferrari 430 Scuderia based on community feedback.
We've made improvements to Multiplayer matchmaking services in Forza Motorsport with the intended effect of improving population of lobbies. We recently tested these changes with participants in our Forza Insiders Program and are now rolling them out to all players with Update 18.
For some HDR displays, the game would automatically configure its HDR Brightness value below 1,000 nits which made the highlights in the image look flat and clamped. The fix prevents the game from automatically configuring the value below 1,000 even if the display metadata reports that its peak luminance is under 1,000.
Increased race duration of ‘Short’ length races from 8 minutes to 10 minutes in Featured Multiplayer. Also, we’ve updated the Event schedule timing for ‘Short’ and ‘Medium’ length races to slightly increase the amount of time between races based on player feedback.
We’ve enabled the Lap counter in the HUD during Timed Races, which includes Practice as well as Multi-Class Races for easier lap tracking. In addition, Last Lap / Best Lap has also been enabled in the HUD during Timed and Multi-Class Races.
