All users are strongly encouraged to update to this latest version, since you'll need it to enjoy online multiplayer games on Riptide GP2 going forward. But also becasue it's awesome.
The largest enhancement is an improved Online Multiplayer QuickMatch Mode:

- Allows you to join a Match that's in progress at the next Race start.
