Forza Motorsport Celebrates One Year Anniversary With Major Update

Xbox developer Turn 10 has revealed its plans for Forza Motorsport Update 13, which arrives in and around the game's one year anniversary. This is a pretty chunky update for the team's latest Forza title, with a new mode, new track, three free cars and more coming to players next week.

Forza Motorsport Update 13 will arrive on Monday, October 14th, free for all players - and on Xbox Game Pass of course. Here are the big new additions:

• New mode: Drift Mode
• New track: Sunset Peninsula
• New options for Practice and Qualifying in Private Multiplayer races
• 3 new, free cars: 2024 Ford #25 Mustang RTR, 2024 Ford #88 Mustang RTR and 2024 Ford #130 Mustang RTR
• Additional upgrades for Forza Race Regulations

To mark the game's anniversary, the team has also detailed some interesting stats about what the Forza Motorsport community has been up to in-game since last October. More than 150 million races have gone down, with the Kyalami grand prix circuit and the 2020 Honda #73 LA Honda World Racing Civic coming out as your most-played tracks and cars, respectively.

Back at launch, about a year ago, we enjoyed our time with the base game even if it felt like a 'platform' for the future - where more content and features would eventually arrive. Those bits and pieces are coming to game, slowly, and we hope that Turn 10 really kicks into gear during Forza Motorsport year two.
