Forza Motorsport Update 7 Notably Shrinks the Game’s File Size, Adds Brands Hatch Track

Today’s AAA games require a lot of storage, and typically, they only get bigger post-launch as addition content and updates are applied. So, it’s somewhat surprising to report that Forza Motorsport – which launched at a very-meaty 130-GB-plus -- is actually shrinking in size with its latest patch. Forza Motorsport Update 7 will see the game’s file size reduced by around 25 GB on Xbox Series X and 29 GB on PC.

Brands Hatch is also renowned for its challenging layout, with a combination of fast straights, tight corners, and tricky elevation changes that make it a favorite among drivers and racing fans alike. Its first turn, the Paddock Hill Bend, sees cars diving downhill at high speed and then climbing back up into the tight hairpin turn called Druids.
