Solar Crown Season 7 update set for November 12

Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown is set to receive its Season 7 mid-season update on November 12, 2026. The date replaces the previously communicated October 28 release window. Server maintenance timing is expected to be confirmed in the patch notes on launch day.

The announced update focuses on driving presentation, vehicle customization and social play. It includes an additional camera option, adjustable rim sizes and support for groups of up to eight players. The developers have also outlined fixes affecting races, vehicles, interface elements and parts of the Hong Kong Island and Ibiza environments. The complete patch notes are due on November 12.

Update details

The new camera is intended to place the viewpoint closer to the car, with a revised field of view and a more realistic presentation while retaining a sense of speed. Players who prefer the existing view will not lose it: the new and legacy cameras will both be selectable through the settings menu. The team also says work is planned for other third-person and cockpit camera views, with further customization options intended for the future.

Vehicle customization will gain rim-size adjustment at workshops, clan shops, the Casino shop and dealerships across Ibiza and Hong Kong Island. The update also includes corrections to rim sizing on a number of cars. Manufacturer rims will remain limited to their real-world sizes, although some vehicles will offer more than one factory size.

Groups will be able to hold as many as eight players. That applies to activities such as cruises, clan races, ranked events and driving around the two locations together. Confirmed fixes mentioned so far include Crown Jewel races, selected Nissan 370Z Nismo issues, delayed vehicle updates in the race-lobby car tile, environmental collision problems, several map details and photo-mode draw distance. The published list is not final, as additional fixes are still being prepared.

What it means if you are considering the game

This patch is particularly relevant if camera choice, visual car tuning or driving with a larger party matters to you. You will be able to choose between the new viewpoint and the existing one, while rim sizing adds another customization setting. For players who organize multiplayer sessions, the new group limit allows a larger convoy or race party.
