Let's take a look at what the patch notes say so far!
Latest news - Update 2.00 rollout on Xbox
It may have suffered a slight delay but update 2.00 is now landing on Xbox.
Those playing on Xbox One, Series X, or Series S will be able to enjoy the new features too!
Update 2.00
The update adds wheel support for a number of devices.
This includes the major brands such as Logitech, Thrustmaster and a number of Fanatec devices.
The Update also brings a number of general stability and bug fixes, which are pretty standard for big updates.
Patch Notes
Some big changes have been made for visual performance. These include further improvements to 120Hz mode on the Xbox Series X.
Image Quality mode has been improved again on Xbox One and PS4 also, with a higher FPS now attainable.
With regards to crashes, one major bug was a career mode/sponsors tab crash when selecting an AMP Edition sponsor. This has been fixed in the latest update.
In split-screen, the low audio has been improved so you can now race your family or friends with the noise of true rallying.
When playing online, the friends lobby has been increased to 8 players. This update is coupled with a longer search time in matchmaking, improving the chances that you find a full lobby.
Playgrounds has had the leaderboards updated to show faster target times. Similarly, some objects are no longer available for the wrong event type.
Finally, the general fixes are as follows:
- Amplified Edition entitlements fully unlocked for Amplified Edition pre-order players
