Along with that, more information on the radio has been revealed, saying that players will have a variety of options, “from global sensations and smash hits to hidden gems and genre-bending beats that have infused our iconic line-up of radio stations, expertly curated for your listening pleasure.” There are 9 stations to choose from that feature a large number of tracks.

Another feature that fans should get excited for is the Proximity Radar, which helps “identify cars in your blind spots, making it easier to avoid unintentional collisions and keep the racing clean, especially when using cockpit, hood, or bumper cameras.”
