Turn 10 Studios release another big Forza Motorsport update, introducing Drift Mode and the iconic Sunset Peninsula track among other things. 

It took them a while but Turn 10 Studios have managed to turn (no pun intended) Forza Motorsport into a decent game. I'd argue that it was very good on launch but a lot of hardcore Motorsport fans were disappointed with the game's lack of content and technical issues.

Fast forward to the game's one-year anniversary and the change is obvious, especially after another big update that Turn 10 dropped today. Update 13 introduces the long-awaited Drift Mode and a new track - the iconic Sunset Peninsula - which appears in a Motorsport game for the first time since probably the most beloved Motorsport ever - Forza Motorsport 4.

Here's the breakdown of Update 13:

  • New mode: Drift Mode
  • New track: Sunset Peninsula
  • New options for Practice and Qualifying in Private Multiplayer races 
  • 3 new, free Mustang cars: the 2024 Ford #25 Mustang RTR, 2024 Ford #88 Mustang RTR, and 2024 Ford #130 Mustang RTR 
  • Additional upgrades for Forza Race Regulations
  • Improved Drivatar AI trailing ability 
  • Improved Virginia International Raceway with new grass and more

For the next update, expect new career and multiplayer events as well as a focus on bug fixes. Turn 10 say they plan to release the next track (Bathurst) in Update 15, which is coming in mid-December. 

This will be the last track update in 2024 but more will be coming in 2025.
