- New card rarity names have been introduced for the existing color codes of Vehicle Kit Cards. The names are now displayed in the box info of Festival Kit Boxes and in the inventory. Only the Lamborghini Terzo Millennio Kit still has the old "Festival" name. It is unclear whether these are real rarity categories or just denote the value of the cards as there are no random processes that grant Vehicle Kit Cards so far.
Cosmetic changes
- New loading screen of a Formula E Gen2 in Dubai.
Events
- Flower Multiplayer Season 2 May 4, 2020
- Formula E Gen2 Festival May 8, 2020
Bugs/Glitches

Trivia
- This update only serves as an extension of the previous update, as the Formula E Gen2’s Festival has been announced prior to its release.
- The KTM X-Bow GT4 was released in the 2019 Halloween Update but was delayed due to a change of obtainment method, as this car was originally a Championship-unlockable car.
- This is also the second car, whose obtainment method was changed prior to its release, with the first being the 1967 Chevrolet Impala.
