<h2>Horizon Life MP Update</h2>
<p>With this update, Playground has made some improvements to Horizon Life multiplayer events. Now when you create a multiplayer event, you can post it to the Activity Panel and then return to Freeroam while you wait for other players to join. The previous 40-second limit has been removed, and now you can wait for as long as you like for players to join before you start the session.</p>
<h2>Photo Mode Improvements</h2>
<p>Forzatographers, rejoice! New improvements to Photo Mode are coming. Now you separately toggle vehicle lights, drivers, wildlife, and crowds to specify elements you want in your photographic masterpieces. In addition, there are new bokeh, focus, and sampling options, as well as more freedom of movement with the photo camera. </p>
<h2>Horizon Holiday Party</h2>
<p>It’s the holiday season and Forza Horizon 4 players can celebrate with a load of new holiday-themed items available with the latest update. Twelve new festive clothing options are all available from Season Events, The Trial, Wheelspins, and the #Forzathon Shop. </p>
<h2>Other Improvements</h2>
<p>In addition to new content, Update 4 is bringing with it new improvements across various areas of the game. Highlights include fixing an exploit in Route Creator which allowed players to create routes to easily gain a large number of skill points, as well as fixing an exploit in Rivals which allowed players from being able to use the cars that did not meet the event restrictions. Elsewhere, emotes can now occasionally be found for purchase in the #Forzathon Shop, and the team has added improved visibility of driving line on mini-map in various colorblind modes.</p>
<p>For the full list of fixed in Update 4, check out the <a href="https://support.forzamotorsport.net/hc/en-us/articles/360013291373-FH4-Release-Notes-December-13th-2018">Release Notes</a> on the Forza Support section on our Web site. </p>
