As players prepare for the upcoming chill of the Blizzard Expansion pack coming on Tuesday, Playground Games continues the Forzathon tradition in Forza Horizon 3 this weekend. The spotlight this time shines on the House That Enzo Built, with a handful of events centred around the marque as well as a healthy discount:

A quick-fix update has landed for the PS4 version of Assetto Corsa. Weighing in at a relatively paltry 400 MB, it addresses a handful of issues:

Big news from Sony: the PS4 family of consoles has crested the 50 million mark, as of December 6, 2016. The milestone came on the back of the brand’s most successful Black Friday yet, and pairs with a software sales figure totalling over 369.6 million.

Jann Mardenborough may have just missed out on the All-Japan F3 Championship title earlier this year (as well as the GT300 class in Super GT last month), but we imagine this must make a pretty sweet consolation prize.

Xbox One Assetto Corsa players have had a hard time lately. Not only did they have to watch from afar as PC players enjoyed the first Porsche DLC pack before them, but also the second collection of Stuttgart cars. Then, just as console gamers were promised access the former, a last-minute delay meant only PlayStation 4 sim racers got the update.

2016 is drawing to a close. For some, it’s a time to reflect on the last twelve months. For the entertainment industries, it means awards season. We understand — we’ve even got our own GTPlanet Awards coming up — and for gaming, one of the bigger events of the year is the imaginatively-named Game Awards.

Yesterday saw the third car expansion land in Forza Horizon 3. It brought seven new cars, ranging from the big bruiser you see above to the small and suitably strange Morgan 3 Wheeler.

Have you been sitting on the fence in regards to the console version of Assetto Corsa? We liked it well enough in our review last summer, giving it top marks in terms of physics and feedback, if not in terms of variety. That said, a certain German marque is quite the appealing addition these days. Of course, nothing can quite match the lure of a good deal.

After months of near-silence, Polyphony Digital showed off a fair amount of new Gran Turismo Sport content this past weekend at PlayStation Experience 2016. The event in Anaheim played host to a new, 4K-enabled trailer, and a massive collection of screenshots.

Yesterday gave a lot of PlayStation gamers plenty to add to their wishlists for 2017. Not only did the opening day of the PS Experience reveal new installments in much-loved franchises like The Last of Us and Marvel vs Capcom, it also represented another step forward for GT Sport.

We’re now comfortably into day two of PlayStation Experience 2016. Yesterday, to kick of the weekend, Polyphony Digital unleashed the first 4K trailer for Gran Turismo Sport, showing off all types of cars racing around the game’s circuits.

PlayStation Experience has kicked off in sunny Anaheim. Gran Turismo fans were treated to the brand’s first 4K-resolution footage today with the latest GT Sport trailer. The two-minute video showcased a handful of new cars — more on those later — as well as a closer look at the range of time (and weather) variations players can expect of the title in 2017.

If you’ll allow us one cliché: Christmas is coming early for select PlayStation gamers this weekend. The Sony-hosted PlayStation Experience is about to kick off in Anaheim, California, where over 100 titles will be playable, many before they’re available on store shelves.

Last month, Polyphony Digital employees descended upon Las Vegas for the 14th Gran Turismo Awards. While Kazunori Yamauchi himself was not present — he was presenting London with the world’s first look at GT Sport utilizing PS4 Pro and PSVR — the party was just as large as it has been in previous years. You can see for yourself up top.

It’s been a long time coming, but Assetto Corsa players on PS4 now have access to Porsches in a current-generation sim. Porsche Pack Volume 1 arrives alongside the game’s 1.09 update today, bringing with it a classic layout of Silverstone and the following cars:
