Well this is surprising. Earlier this week Sony announced PlayStation Hits, a collection of games at a discount price. This will sound familiar to many as it’s no different than the past Greatest Hits line.

This weekend F1 returns to Circuit Paul Ricard for the French Grand Prix. Ten years will have passed since the last time F1 came to France in 2008 at Magny-Cours. As such, Codemasters has released a new gameplay video showing off the circuit in F1 2018.

Spa-Francorchamps, home of the Belgian GP, will remain on the F1 calendar until at least 2021. The current deal for the track saw its contract expire after this year’s race.

It’s official: Red Bull and Honda will join forces in Formula One beginning in 2019. The engine deal covers the 2019 and 2020 seasons, right up to the end of the current regulations. With F1 returning to Circuit Paul Ricard this weekend, the news is sure to set the mood.

Right on cue, the weekly reset has refreshed the Specialty Dealer’s lineup in Forza 7. This week is particularly noteworthy as a certain Volkswagen is finally in the mix.

It’s finally happening. Last year, F1 2017 proved classic F1 cars add something extra to the franchise. Whether it be the McLaren MP4/4 or the Renault R26, last year’s game catered to long-time viewers of the sport.

Another weekly refresh for the Specialty Dealer in Forza 7 sees a new lineup of vehicles. Continuing the trend of the past three weeks, two all-new cars feature in the lineup.

Since its reveal, there’s been plenty of excitement around Forza Horizon 4. One of the more interesting features is the all-new dynamic seasons feature. Set in the UK, the game will change depending on whether it’s spring, summer, fall or winter.

As you’re well aware by now, Forza Horizon 4 releases this fall. The fourth entry in the open-world racer takes us to Great Britain and delves into the four seasons.

While chaos has certainly been the flavor of the 2018 season thus far, the Canadian Grand Prix was a somber affair. Following the results of qualifying, it set the stage for a return to form. Much like the Monaco Grand Prix, things played out exactly as you’d expect for the top three.

As Microsoft announced earlier today, Forza Horizon 4 is set for this October on Xbox One and PC. The newest entry in the open-world racer is setting its sights on the United Kingdom. With that comes over 450 cars, dynamic seasons, and most surprisingly, a 60fps option for Xbox One X owners.

Much like last year, qualifying for today’s Canadian GP saw lap records smashed. With ideal conditions and this year’s quicker machines, it was bound to happen.

The Crew 2 is set to release in three week’s time on June 29 for all platforms. As Live Content Manager Sofiane Brahimi is quick to point out, that’s just the beginning. While we await a second go at the game with the open beta, let’s go over post-release support.

We’re back for the weekly refresh to the Specialty Dealer’s lineup in Forza 7. Veteran players will no doubt have taken a liking to the revitalized in-game feature. With two weeks of new cars behind us, that trend continues.

2018 has brought many changes to Formula One, and chief amongst them is the halo. Fewer things have sparked as much controversy as the titanium safety device. It may be able to withstand the weight of a bus, but it isn’t too pleasing to the eye.

Right on schedule, Turn 10 has refreshed the Specialty Dealer lineup in Forza 7. Picking up the new pattern that debuted last week, this round is no longer a simple repeat of a previous one.

Formula One is coming to the city of Miami for the 2019 season. Proposed earlier this month, F1 and the Miami City Commission met to approve plans for the GP. The current deal sees the circus running around the circuit for ten years, 2019-2028.

Earlier this month a bombshell reveal showed off the Red Bull RB13 coming to The Crew 2. The idea of a fully-licensed F1 car parading around an open-world racer is unprecedented. As we close in on the game’s June 29 release date, racers won’t have to wait to take it and many other vehicles for a spin.

Heading into today’s race, the end result was a foregone conclusion after qualifying. In what feels like the first time this season, things played out exactly as expected.

Very few race weekends are like the Monaco Grand Prix. The glitz, the glamour, the spectacle — all make for a truly unique race you won’t see anywhere else on the F1 calendar. Heading into the weekend, one thing was clear: Daniel Ricciardo means business.
