The snow has melted once again, and Spring has taken its place in Forza Horizon 4. The latest batch of content and events will continue to keep players busy for this week.

Slightly Mad Studios took much of the gaming world by surprise in January when it announced it would produce its own console.

The next Forza Monthly live stream, scheduled for May 7, just got even more exciting. As we reported last month, information about the “next Forza Motorsport” is set to be revealed on the show, and now it appears there is even more to look forward to with a special feature on an IndyCar legend.

We’re only five weeks away from the launch of the 2019 version of the official MotoGP game, and developer Milestone has treated us to a first gameplay video.

After the briefest of teases during F1 2019’s reveal, Codemasters has confirmed the FIA Formula 2 Championship will be a part of the game.

When GT Sport launched back in October 2017, we thought it was a little bit light on content. Polyphony Digital has been addressing that, piece by piece, with free updates over the game’s life, but there’s one thing still notably absent: Lotus.

Codemasters has peeled back a few layers on its upcoming F1 2019 sim racer. One of the biggest surprises is not about the current season, but about the past. When the game launches in two months, players will be able to pick a side in the great Senna versus Prost rivalry.

After some much-needed rest and recuperation over the last week or two, I’ve come back to a whole heap of new sim racing content. Over the last few days, rFactor 2, DiRT Rally 2.0 and RaceRoom have received new goodies. It always puts a spring in my step when there are new toys to play with when I get home. Of all the newly-released toys, I’ll be talking about the bonkers Volkswagen I.D. R.

Another racing series is joining the WRC, Formula 1, and Blancpain GT by getting its own, official sim racer. However, it’s probably not the series you might expect. Thanks to Bigben Interactive, gamers will get a chance to conquer the FIA European Truck Racing Championship this summer.

The PlayStation Store has another weekly sale going on. Just like previous ones, the PS Plus sale offers significant savings on a variety of titles from our favorite genre.
