Forza Horizon 4’s next update will make multiplayer even better

Playground Games has been listening to the community and has some welcome changes to the multiplayer aspect of Forza Horizon 4 coming soon.

The next content update for Forza Horizon 4 has been detailed by its developer, Playground Games, and the big attention point is the multiplayer aspect of the game. Besides an all new game mode to enjoy, there will be fixes to the existing experience which will make a pretty important improvement to everyone's online fun.

Update 8 is being known as the Drift Adventure update, in honor of the new multiplayer game mode being added. Drift Adventure is the first multiplayer mode in Forza Horizon 4 dedicated entirely to the art of going sideways, as you compete against other players in pursuit of the best single lap drift score.

In conjunction with this a new drift camera view is being added — a similar one has recently made it into Forza Motorsport 7 — that angles the camera to better work with the additional sideways motions of drifting.

Beyond Drift Adventure, Playground has also been listening to community feedback and some pretty stellar changes are coming to the existing online adventure experience.

Did you know you can AirPlay from an iPhone or iPad to Windows? Here's how.

Apple's AirPlay is a pretty useful feature, but most assume that you need to be using exclusively Apple devices to make use of it. But like most things in tech, where there's a will, there's a way, and if you want to AirPlay from your iPhone or iPad to your Windows 10 PC here's how to do it.

Products used in this guide

• The phone: iPhone 8 ($649 at Amazon)
• The app: LonelyScreen (From $15/yr. at LonelyScreen)

How to AirPlay

The first thing you need to do is to install the LonelyScreen application on your PC.

You can get it from the official website here. Once downloaded simply install it as you would any other Windows desktop application. It's a paid app with a yearly subscription starting at $15 for personal use and $30 per year for business use, but there's a free trial if you want to take it for a spin first.

Upon opening LonelyScreen there's not a lot to actually do with it. You will need the LonelyScreen application open in order to AirPlay anything to your PC. Screen mirroring will be displayed through the application.
