Zoom Obwohl Automobilista 2 über den Oktober hinweg eine Reihe von Updates erhalten hat, hat Reiza Studios zum Ausklang das "Monatsupdate" am vorletzten Oktobertag veröffentlicht. Große Neuerungen gibt es, abgesehen von neuen Fahrzeugdesigns für den Metalmoro MRX P4, nicht. Stattdessen liegt der Fokus auf den schon vom Entwicklerteam bekannten Bugfixes und Überarbeitungen. Auf die am 30. Oktober 2021 veröffentlichte Version 1.2.5.0 folgte nur einen Tag später ein Hotfix mit weiteren kurzfristig nötigen Korrekturen. Am Mittwoch, 3. November 2021 wurde schließlich die Version 1.2.5.1 freigegeben, welche weitere Verbesserungen enthält. Der Großteil des Teams arbeitet derweil schon an den großen November-/Dezember-Updates zu denen es in Kürze einige Informationen geben soll. Bis dahin lassen sich die jüngsten Änderungen anhand der nachfolgenden Übersichten studieren.
