In less than a week following the launch of Forza Motorsport, developer Turn 10 Studios has released a 2.6GB update for the Series X version of the game. This update primarily focuses on the car leveling and upgrade system, which was met with considerable criticism from the fan community. This adjustment allows for a faster and more satisfying progression, especially in the game's Builders Cup event. Update Overview The car leveling and upgrade system is central to Forza Motorsport's Builders Cup event. The initial design intended to deepen the player's relationship with their car by offering incremental upgrades as they accumulate CarXP points. To acquire these points, players needed to engage in driving activities. Upon reaching certain thresholds, new parts for the car would unlock. However, this system required an extensive amount of time, prompting Turn 10 to rework several aspects. Changes to Car Leveling Originally, reaching the maximum car level of 50 would grant access to all available upgrades. The system has now been reworked to make upgrades accessible by Car Level 25. Engine and drivetrain swaps are available at level 25 instead of at levels 40 and 50, respectively. Additionally, the body kit upgrades are available at level 20 instead of level 45, significantly reducing the time required for a player to fully customize their car. More Accessible Upgrades Turn 10 Studios has also made several other changes to the car parts unlocking system. For instance, wheel style changes are now accessible from level one, whereas tire compounds, which were originally available at level 11, have been moved to level three. Furthermore, turbocharging, weight reduction, and internal engine upgrades are now available at lower levels, which should allow for more rapid advancement and customization. Impact on Builders Cup The Builders Cup is a key event in Forza Motorsport where the car leveling and upgrade system plays a significant role. The adjustments made to this system mean that players will now have access to all tuning items after participating in just one Builders Cup event. However, it is important to note that reaching level 50 is still required for specific achievements and brand "affinity" discounts. Remaining Elements Although the levels for unlocking various car parts have been reduced, players still need to reach level 50 to unlock the brand "affinity" discount and pick up specific achievements. Also, if you purchase a second example of the same car, you will need to start the leveling process all over again. Final Thoughts This latest update to Forza Motorsport addresses critical feedback from the fan community. Turn 10 Studios' willingness to quickly implement these changes indicates a commitment to delivering a game that aligns with player expectations. The adjusted car leveling and upgrade system should offer a more enjoyable and less time-consuming experience, while still retaining elements that require dedication and provide long-term goals.
