Mantis Burn Racing unleashes first major update on Xbox One

Voofoo Studios' top-down racer Mantis Burn Racing received its first major update today on Xbox One.  A number of fixes and improvements were added, along with a brand new online mode. The Spotlight event will challenge players to remain in a light projected onto the screen and be the last racer left.

Those frustrated in waiting for online lobbies can rest easy as Voofoo added an option to let AI racers fill any remaining spots pre-race. Other fixes include stability improvements and cosmetic features. You can see the full list below, and Mantis Burn Racing is available now on Xbox One for $19.99. Voofoo will continue to support the game long term, so be sure to try it as personally, it's the best top down racer I've played.
