Leading up to the official release of Update 2, players of Forza Motorsport are given a glimpse into some of the reported issues that are being addressed.
Since its release on October 10, 2023, Turn 10 Studios has been vigilant in monitoring Forza Motorsport. The first update, released on October 17, addressed various aspects of progression and stability across all platforms, in addition to graphical, multiplayer, and accessibility adjustments.

Update 2 for Forza Motorsport will encompass a wide range of fixes that touch on multiple aspects of gameplay. These improvements will cover gameplay stability, the Livery Editor, multiplayer elements, cars, and more. Stability remains a key focus for Turn 10 Studios, with the developer committed to ongoing work in this area, promising additional improvements in future updates beyond Update 2.
One specific issue currently under scrutiny is the infinite loading screen problem encountered during a Quick Upgrade in the Builders Cup. Although it was initially addressed in the 1.1 hotfix, some players are still experiencing this issue. These changes will be a pivotal part of Update 2, with Turn 10 Studios gearing up to implement over 200 fixes.
Update 2 is set to bring quality-of-life improvements and introduce the new Yas Marina track. While limited details are available about this new location, it signifies the beginning of Turn 10 Studios' commitment to delivering monthly content updates for Forza Motorsport. Players can look forward to new free tracks, live events, Featured Tours, and enhanced multiplayer features to explore within the game.
While Turn 10 Studios continues its ongoing work on gameplay elements and cars in Forza Motorsport, players are encouraged to refer to the Troubleshooting Hub for information regarding known issues. Many bugs and glitches have been reported by players, and it's likely that some of these will be addressed with the upcoming Update 2.
