🕒 ET Maintenance Window

• Start Time: 2:00 AM EDT

🏎️ March 2026 Update Highlights

This maintenance typically introduces new content. Based on the silhouettes and previews shared by Polyphony Digital, here is what is expected in the new patch:

• New Cars: Three new vehicles are being added to the roster (look for these in Brand Central or the Legend Cars dealership once the servers are back).

• LCD Price Adjustment: The “Legend Cars” dealership is receiving its quarterly price readjustment. If you were eyeing a classic car, its price may have increased (or decreased) significantly.

• Events & Scapes: Expect new World Circuit events tailored to the new cars and a fresh “featured” curation in the Scapes mode.

🛠️ What to do if you can’t connect after 1:30 PM:

1. Check for Update: The game will require a mandatory patch download (usually 1GB–2GB) before you can reconnect.

2. Restart the Console: If the “Under Maintenance” message persists after the window closes, a full restart of your PS5 or PS4 often forces the server handshake to refresh.

3. Check PSN Status: Occasionally, the maintenance window is extended by 30–60 minutes if the deployment runs into issues.

⚠️ A Reminder for Savings

If you were mid-race when the maintenance started, please remember that progress cannot be saved while the servers are offline. You must reconnect to the servers (after updating) to ensure your race results and credit gains are recorded to your profile.
