- Players who didn't claim the bike before the cutoff period and withdrawal received no compensation. Gameloft released a brief statement via the compensation screen that the bike is expected to be re-released at a later date, with all previously-applied upgrades kept intact.
- The bike's launching issue was eventually resolved on December 15 and players were gifted it until December 31, as part of a Thematic Multiplayer Season.
- Players who didn't claim the bike before the cutoff period and withdrawal received no compensation. Gameloft released a brief statement via the compensation screen that the bike is expected to be re-released at a later date, with all previously-applied upgrades kept intact.
- It has been reported that with Car Hunts, doing all quests and claiming all Car Hunt Coin Packs (including the daily free Coin Packs) doesn't guarantee the player to get to the final tier without needing to make an in-app purchase, which is contrary to Gameloft's official announcement. As a result, on December 6, during the Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta Car Hunt, players were awarded 436, regardless of whether they had done any quests or not.
Bugs/Glitches[]
- On Android and iOS platforms, it has been reported that trying to view the Koenigsegg Jesko's decal on Page 6 of the Golden Season Pass will instead display the Dodge Dart GT in place of the Jesko, along with the Dart GT's paint colors and decal options. Neither the Jesko nor its decal cannot be viewed through Page 6 in any way and reloading the game does not rectify the issue.
- This is the re-emergence of a bug that was fixed in a hotfix on November 17 during the course of the previous Update. Prior to the hotfix, any attempt to view the Jesko's decal through Page 6 would force-close the game.
- This was fixed on November 28.
