MX vs ATV Legends Update v1.17 Released

More improvements have arrived from Rainbow Studios with MX vs ATV Legends Update v1.17 released across all platforms. And they include changes to the tyre grip when you start to slip on the loose surfaces and in turns, along with loosening up rider bodies and animations so things should feel a bit more natural.

Other important changes include reducing instances where wrecks occur on take-off and landing for no reason, which is nice. And stopping the rear tyre of the Kawasaki KX450F going through the rear fender, which is also reassuring if you plan on using it.

There are also a number of bug fixes, and balancing changes for the ATVs. And a range of tweaks to environments, particularly the Slayground.
