Drift mode is as it says, it’ll test your drifting skills for points in free roam and also PvP modes.

Drag pits up to four players against each other to test their ability to switch gears, dodge obstacles and use nitrous boosts.

Finally there’s a League mode, which will allow players to challenge each other to battles while roaming the city streets.

It’s not just new modes though, the update will also add two new cars to unlock and cruise around in, the BMW M3 Competition Touring '23 and the Ford Mustang Dark Horse '24.

The update is available now, for free, for all players, and if you’re yet to play the game for yourself you can do so via PlayStation Plus.
