Playground Games has temporarily disabled Eliminator in Forza Horizon 6 after players discovered a major credit exploit.

The bug allowed players to earn up to 999,999,999 credits in a very short amount of time. The developers have confirmed that any illegitimate credits will be removed, with affected accounts rolled back to a maximum balance of 10 million credits.

Some players even tried to “launder” their credits through the Auction House, buying and reselling cars in an attempt to keep at least part of their profits before the exploit was patched.

As compensation for the downtime, all players will receive a free 2021 McLaren Sabre. The car can be claimed through the in-game Message Center under the Gifts tab once Eliminator returns.

Series 2 has also gone live, bringing various bug fixes, faster Horizon Play progression, and a nerf to drag tires, which had been performing a little too well outside of drag racing events.

Update 0.5 for Assetto Corsa Rally is scheduled to arrive in July, and its biggest addition will be a brand-new gravel location.

Since entering Early Access, AC Rally has featured only one full gravel stage, Rally Wales. Later updates introduced Monte Carlo and the icy roads of Livigno, but the game has still been missing a traditional loose-surface rally environment.

The developers have released a short teaser showing trees, elevation changes, narrow winding roads, and plenty of gravel. The exact location has not yet been revealed.

Fans are already speculating about where the new stage could be. Greece and Finland are among the leading theories, with Greece seeming especially plausible. The real-world Acropolis Rally takes place during the summer, and the Monte Carlo location was added to the game shortly after the corresponding WRC event.

SCS Software has released update 1.60 for American Truck Simulator. While there’s no major new content, the patch introduces several welcome improvements.

The biggest change is an updated materials and lighting system. It primarily enhances truck interiors, making leather, fabric, plastic, and metal surfaces look more natural and realistic. For now, the technology is available on the Mack Anthem and Western Star 49X, with support for additional trucks planned in future updates.

The job details widget has also been redesigned, and a new Hours of Service system has been added. Drivers are now required to take a 10-hour rest break after 14 hours on duty.

In addition, the update introduces Game Radio with five stations and includes free Kenworth TourAmerica paint schemes inspired by classic 1990s designs.

Following the real-world 2026 24 Hours of Le Mans, Le Mans Ultimate has another strong talking point. The free 2026 season liveries update appears to have been a success, with the game’s online player count nearly matching its all-time peak — 8,335 players compared to the record of 8,565.

Attention is now turning to July 4, when Studio 397 and Motorsport Games are expected to reveal the new Season Pass and update v1.4.

The leading theory is IMSA, and it makes a lot of sense. The announcement date coincides with U.S. Independence Day, and the developers have previously hinted at adding non-European circuits. On top of that, the LMU special events calendar includes several mysterious TBA rounds, including a 10-hour endurance race. Many fans see this as a strong hint toward Road Atlanta and Petit Le Mans.

Another possibility is the addition of the Asian Le Mans Series, which would be a logical next step following the inclusion of ELMS content.

There’s also growing speculation about the return of the Le Mans Virtual Series. A 24-hour Le Mans event is already scheduled in LMU for October, which could serve as a test run ahead of a larger virtual championship.

iRacing has revealed new details about NASCAR 26. The game is scheduled to launch in September 2026, roughly a month earlier than last year’s NASCAR 25.

The cover star for this year’s edition will be Kyle Larson, the Hendrick Motorsports driver and reigning NASCAR Cup Series champion.

While an exact release date has not yet been announced, the confirmed platforms are PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.

More information, including the full release date and additional game features, is expected to be revealed closer to launch.

Reiza Studios has released update 1.6.9.81 for Automobilista 2. It’s a relatively small patch focused on bug fixes, but it also marks the end of the free trial period for the latest DLC content.

If tracks such as Hungaroring, Imola 2005, or other historic layouts have disappeared from your track list, it’s not a bug. Access to these circuits now requires ownership of the corresponding DLC packs. The Hungaroring DLC is priced at $6.99, while the Historic Track Pack Pt. 4 costs $7.99.

The patch addresses crashes, disqualification-related bugs, visual tire issues, UI errors, localization problems, AI behavior, and several track-specific glitches.

Reiza has also made minor adjustments to tire physics for Formula classes and improved AI performance at Azure and Hungaroring.

A free update has arrived for the console version of Assetto Corsa Competizione, bringing the 2025 GT World Challenge liveries to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

The update adds 86 new liveries from GTWC Europe, along with 9 additional designs from GTWC America. Driver lineups have also been updated to match the latest season.

While the update doesn’t introduce any gameplay changes, it’s a nice bonus for console players still enjoying ACC. Nearly 100 fresh liveries are now available at no extra cost.

There is one catch, though: PC players received these liveries back in December 2025, while console users have had to wait until now. It’s been quite a significant delay.

I can’t relate. Ordered a Fanatec DD1 back in August, still using my Logitech G27 while I continue to wait until it ships April 30th.

Best bit is, I have had my special edition F1 rim since January. I often hold it and make vrrrm vrrrm noises.
