As a seasoned gamer with over two decades under my belt, I can confidently say that Forza Motorsport has been one of the most exciting additions to my virtual garage this year. The upcoming Update 13 is shaping up to be another game-changer, especially with the addition of Drift Mode and the return of Sunset Peninsula.


As a dedicated gamer, I can’t contain my excitement! On October 10, 2023, the much-anticipated Forza Motorsport finally hit the gaming scene. Now, a year later, the masterminds at Turn 10 Studios are gearing up to celebrate this milestone in a big way. Here’s what they’ve shared: They’re planning to drop Update 13, a special themed update centered around Mustang Month! Plus, as a token of appreciation for our continued support, they’re giving us an incredible batch of free cars to rev up our racing experience!

In Update 13, the exciting new feature Drift Mode is set to debut in Forza Motorsport. This mode challenges players to achieve the highest Drift Score, which depends on factors like speed, angle, and duration of drifts. Moreover, this update introduces additional chances for Practice and Qualifying sessions in Private Multiplayer competitions, as well as new upgrades for Forza Race Regulations. While specifics about these enhancements are still under wraps, players can look forward to more details soon, as the official announcement is expected on Monday, October 14.

In Update 13, we’ll introduce Sunset Peninsula for the first time since it was last featured in 2011’s Forza Motorsport 4. Players can rejoice as they’ll have the chance to race on five different layouts of this scenic track, including the club circuit and the 2.78-mile full circuit. Additionally, fans eagerly awaiting its return will be pleased to know that the Bathurst track is coming back, but it won’t be available until Update 15 in December.

The update for “Forza Motorsport” is scheduled to be launched on Wednesday, October 16 at 4pm PDT. However, Turn 10 Studios has hinted that they will start making the update available for download on October 14 once the release notes have been published. Interestingly, this update also signals the commencement of “Mustang Month,” which is part of the game’s one-year anniversary celebration and includes giving out free new cars.

Players can eagerly anticipate the ability to obtain three fresh Mustang vehicles within Forza Motorsport once Update 13 is launched, marking the start of Mustang Month. The trio of cars includes the 2024 Ford #25 Mustang RTR, the 2024 Ford #88 Mustang RTR, and the 2024 Ford #130 Mustang RTR. These vehicles will be readily available in the Showroom once they are made accessible. Furthermore, players who possess the Forza Motorsport Car Pass, Deluxe Edition, Premium Edition, or the Premium Add-Ons Bundle will have an extra free car at their disposal: the 2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse.

As a devoted gaming enthusiast who spends countless hours behind the virtual wheel of Forza Motorsport, I can’t help but reflect on the game’s past year and its impactful milestones. The developers have generously shared some intriguing data that sheds light on the most popular track (Kyalami – Grand Prix Circuit, with a whopping 5,764,014 races played) and the most driven car (the 2020 Honda #73 LA Honda World Racing Civic, boasting an impressive 3,380,075 races). Furthermore, it’s fascinating to learn that a staggering 162,544,532 races have been played since the game’s inception. With racing sim fans eagerly anticipating more exhilarating virtual rides, there’s no doubt we’ll cover even more miles in the year ahead!
