Preliminary information on the Crossout update 0.11.60.
Greeting, survivors!
Pretty soon we’ll be downloading a new update 0.11.60, which is mostly dedicated to the “Race” brawl and some changes in it, you’ve been asking about for some time. Still, in this update we have some interesting non-racing features too. Let’s take a look at what awaits us.
We remind you that all the new features described in this announcement are not final and may be changed before they are introduced into the game or may not make it into the game at all.
“Race” brawl
In the nearest update you’ll be able to dive into races on 2 brand new maps, created for the “Race” brawl only. Both maps will differ from each other greatly.
While the first one provides racing experience we’ve got used to with fast cars that are able to reach the highest speed and overtake their rivals, the other one is something completely new. Your success on this map will depend solely on your skills at controlling your car’s speed and making sharp turns.
Of course, we don’t plan to stop at that and we plan to add more racing tracks in future updates. All the existing tracks, based on PvP and PvE maps, will be turned off. We believe that racing tracks should be created specifically for this mode, bearing in mind all its features and peculiarities.
But this update is not only about new maps. We also plan to add some tweaks that our racers have asked us for. Checkpoints will be no more limited by any kind of gates and will occupy the whole width of the driveway. Moreover, if your car gets destroyed, you won’t have to continue from the nearest checkpoint that may be too far away. We’ve added a lot of respawn points that will allow you to continue the race nearly from the same point where your car was destroyed.
New racing maps and announced tweaks are just the first steps to make the mode better. We’ll continue to work on it and will announce any new features as soon as they are ready to be introduced.
Other changes
From now on, destructible objects will not only be present on various event maps, but in your garage as well! We keep working on this interesting feature that, we believe, will allow us to make all the in-game locations and battles even more lively.
The garage and its test drive area is a kind of “home” for survivors. This means that each and every one of you should be able to choose the environment that suits your the best. With the 0.11.60 update you’ll be able to set weather conditions on your test drive area, change them or turn on their rotation.
In raids you’ll meet new Steppenwolfs raiders and face new challenges to complete and new patches to earn. And our console players will be able to try out new build mode controls. We’ve created it bearing in mind all the peculiarities of building a car with a gamepad. Hope that you’ll like it!
Of course, as in each update, we’ll also introduce some other minor tweaks and bug fixes.

That’s all for today about the upcoming 0.11.60 update. Speaking about the subsequent updates, we can drop a hint - you’ll face something exciting and completely new. A feature, that will allow you to show your creative skills not only in building cars, but something different. More information will be coming soon in our news and devblogs. And, answering one of the most popular questions, there will be even more new parts!
