Trivia[]
- The song playing in the official trailer is Plush (Jacques Lu Cont Remix) by Tiga. The song also plays on Soulwax FM.
- The Rocket Voltic in the update's trailer features an engine sound numerous times during the trailer, despite being a completely electric (and thus silent) vehicle, with the exception of the rocket sound.
