One of the most important content landing onto the islands of Hawaii through the Year 2 pass is the Chase Squad and its dedicated playlist
Players will join Murdock, Glitch and Spam as the fourth member of the squad and learn the ropes of the chase in a new playlist featuring adrenaline-fueled night pursuits. They will have to show to everyone they’ve got what it takes, ascending from rookie status to becoming a revered member of the team.
Let’s take a closer look at what the Chase Squad offers and how players can join in on the action.
"For the Chase Squad, we wanted to bring the fantasy of the chase that players love, while adding a twist to the experience with a different approach. We introduced the rivalry between the Chase Squad and the Street Racers, organised as a new Motorfest experience.
As a player, you will join the Motorfest Chase Squad and progress from rookie to full member of the team. From mastering the basics of squad driving to immersing yourself in relentless, brutal and uncompromising chase action against street rivals.
We have pulled out all the stops to deliver this unique playlist, including: a visceral and impactful musical approach (embodied by an original creation with Carpenter Brut), new game modes featuring spectacular chases and takedowns, a very special line-up of highly customisable vehicles that are enhanced at night, and open-world activities against rivals to continue the highly crafted playlist experience."

Playlist Overview
Chase Squad is all about high-speed pursuits, adrenaline fuelled chases, and precision takedowns. Let’s take a look at what you can expect when first diving into the playlist.
First up, Murdock and the squad will take you out onto their training grounds and teach you the art of precision target smashing. Once you're ready, then you'll face your teammate Glitch in a high-speed chase drill. Next, no more babysitting it’s time for a real test.
It's time for your first patrol. Follow the intel from Sam in the chopper to the destination to locate your target and get ready to head into pursuit. Once Sam has spotted a speedster it’s now up to you to catch them!
Sound good? Well, what are you waiting for? The Chase Squad is waiting for you!
Rivals Chase
But the excitement doesn't stop at the playlist!
Players will embark on a spectacular hunt to seek out, outmanoeuvre, and take down their street racing adversaries in dynamic face-offs across the entire island. From sleek speedsters to rugged road warriors, players will have to master the chase squad fleet and demonstrate their prowess on the asphalt.
The open-world aspect of the Chase Squad introduces a unique twist to traditional racing gameplay. Instead of confined tracks or scripted events, rival chases happen in the open world of Motorfest. These pursuits can take you through city streets, rugged mountains, or coastal highways, creating unpredictable and thrilling chases where every decision matters. You'll need to use every bit of your driving skill, area knowledge, and strategy to catch or outrun your rivals.
