Overview
- The Italian Passion Car Pack went live on July 14 and adds four new-to-Horizon cars — the 2025 Ferrari F80, 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB4 Spider, 2021 Alfa Romeo Giulia GTAm, and 1990 Alfa Romeo SE 048SP — free for Premium Edition/Upgrade holders or available separately on Microsoft Store and Steam.
- Playground opened Series 3 'Italian Exotics' with a four-week Festival Playlist that will deliver ten more new-to-Horizon cars through seasonal challenges and Wheelspin rewards, including the 2024 Lamborghini Temerario and 2022 Ferrari 296 GTB as headline goals.
- The update also confirmed Car Pass additions arriving over the month such as the Aston Martin DB7 GT, 1972 Nissan Patrol, Toyota Prius Prime XSE Premium, and Honda Z GT for Car Pass holders.
- Developers applied gameplay fixes that reduce excessive AI collisions on corner entries, restored correct counting for the LINK Clean Sweep skill, removed an Auction House price cap on some cars, and patched multiple XP and credit exploits.
- Playground implemented a full leaderboard wipe to remove records gained through exploits, a move meant to restore fair competition but one that has drawn mixed reaction from players already critical of prize splits between free rewards and paid content.
