Automobilista 2 Hotfix V1.0.0.3 Released

It’s been extended through global pandemics, Steam sales and more, but the initial launch period of the new game from Reiza Studios is now complete. With Automobilista 2 Hotfix V1.0.0.3 released, the sim racing developers will now switch to their post-release schedule of monthly planned updates.

The trio of hotfixes (Hotfix V1.0.0.1 and Hotfix V1.0.0.2) were scheduled to follow the initial release of version 1.0 to ensure everything is as complete as possible for the first full edition of the game as it left Steam Early Access.

But it’s not the end of development by a long way. There’s plenty of DLC and new content on the way, and apparently a substantial update is already in progress for deployment towards the end of July.
