News Mantis Burn Racing on Xbox One gets online patch, new event

Following the Mantis Burn Racing PlayStation 4 patch earlier this month, Xbox One owners are now rewarded for their patience and can download the latest patch for Microsoft’s console which brings some improvements to the top-down racer.

Much like the PlayStation 4 patch, the latest Xbox One patch from VooFoo Studios adds a new “Spotlight” single-screen multiplayer event. The update also makes improvements to the online experience with the introduction of a new lobby system including the chance now to race against AI drivers online.

“We’re committed to supporting Mantis Burn Racing long-term and we want to encourage and support the multiplayer community, so we’re really pleased that today’s update brings some notable improvements to the online experience for our players” said Mark Williams, Voodoo Studio’s Technology Director.
