- Not much is known yet regarding the Live!
functionality. Many of the specific details will likely not be
released until the last few months before its release. What has
been confirmed is that the PGR2 Live! functionality, which set

This likely means downloadable ghosts, leaderboards for each
track/race, weekly/monthly challenges, downloadable cars and
tracks, etc.
