Update 8.2 – Consoles and PC
Hey Everyone,
We're pleased to announce Update 8.2, which brings multiplayer racing to MindsEye, along with Race Builder on consoles and PC.
Go wheel-to-wheel with friends and rivals in Silva E Series: Summer Circuit. Race across the Redrock desert and push yourself to the limit for a shot at the podium. With Quickplay, you can drop into multiplayer experiences with ease, so the engine stays warm. This is only the starting line, with more races coming soon.
Race Builder lets you create your own single-player races directly in-game. Customize starting positions, place and move gates, adjust race settings, and transform the environment. Test your track instantly in Play mode, then share it with players on every platform.
Update 8.2 also includes improvements and fixes across the player experience. See the full patch notes for details. We appreciate your continued feedback and support.
Thanks,
