Hey everyone,

Update 7 introduces a brand refresh and another step forward in overall polish, guided by player and community feedback. The team’s continuing to push improvements, and more updates are on the way. This update focuses on smoothing campaign flow, making objectives easier to follow, and continuing to refine AI behaviour. Please keep the incredible feedback coming; you are making a real difference. 

For Deluxe Edition players, Update 7 also introduces the Silva E-Series, a full street circuit city-center race in Redrock, now staged as a big-event street race with grandstands, barriers, and NPC spectators. The Silva Corporation has set the stage for a technical, skill-first challenge. Put down your fastest run and secure your place on the global leaderboards. 

We’ll continue pushing out regular updates and fresh content. If you run into anything, please keep reporting it through the usual channels; it helps us track and prioritize fixes more quickly. 

Thanks,

The MindsEye Team
