News New Ride 3 patch out now, easier time trials, improved handling & more
News
Following on from the smaller Ride 3 patch earlier in the month, a bigger update is now available for the two-wheeled racer across the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.
I’m happy to report that one area that has seen attention in this update is the time trials. The update makes the unnecessarily difficult time trial events easier by increasing the performance points (PP) limit allowing you to race quicker bikes as you chase the gold.
Elsewhere, bike handling has been improved under braking and accelerating, the bike respawns have seen some attention, and the AI race behaviour is said to have been tweaked and improved.
Earlier this month we saw the release of Ride 3’s second free DLC pack, available across all platforms, containing the Ducati Desmosedici RR bike from 2016 along with five new career events courtesy of the additional volume.
You can view the patch notes for today’s Ride 3 update below.
