Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown Season 2 out now, adds free Ibiza expansion

After an extended server maintenance period, Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown’s Season 2 update is live on PC and PlayStation 5, with the Xbox Series X|S update delayed until 10 am UTC today (12^th December) due to “platform issues.”

Season 2 sees players revisit sunny Ibiza Town from Test Drive Unlimited 2 in a free map expansion featuring new races and events as well as speed traps and collectables to find plus new clan-themed clothing items.

Available in the new Selene Dealership, Season 2 also adds five new ‘Selene Editions’ of existing cars with performance modifications and custom liveries, including the Abarth 500, Alpine A110, Chevrolet Corvette C1, Alfa Romeo 4C Spider and W Motors Fenyr SuperSport.

Alongside the Selene Editions are four new models: the Ferrari California (Test Drive Unlimited 2’s hero car), Lamborghini Aventador SVJ Xago Edition, Lamborghini Diablo VT and Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+. The California and Aventador SVJ Xago Edition can be bought at the new dealership, while the Diablo VT and Super Sport 300+ can be won in Season 2’s Solar Pass, which runs until March 18^th 2025.

Season 2 also introduces several quality-of-life improvements, including improved wheel animations, AI rebalancing and proximity voice chat in hubs and the open world, along with bug fixes. More details can be found in the full changelog below.
