When Test Drive Unlimited 2 was released, it was riddled with numerous bugs. To make up for the frankly horrendous launch, Eden Games has come up with the Exploration pack, a free downloadable content pack that not only fixes a lot of the bugs in the game but alo adds new events, races, and cars.

 

PC gamers can now look forward to cars no longer suddenly turning invisible or flying off the road, though. The DLC pack is now available for PC and will be available to PS3 and Xbox 360 gamers "very soon". See below for a list of what you can get in the Exploration pack.

  • Extreme convoy: one mistake and the mission is over
  • Timed convoy: it is a convoy mission...but with a timer!
