Turn 10 Studios revealed some extensive new gameplay of Forza Motorsport, highlighting the first few races players can experience. Various previews have also dropped, and we’ve finally learned about the different graphical modes on Xbox Series X/S.
As VGC notes, the Xbox Series X features three modes. Performance mode runs at 4K/60 FPS (though the publication notes that the frame rate wasn’t consistent). Performance RT offers ray tracing, dynamic 4K (depending on the intensity of the action) and 60 FPS. Finally, there is Visuals mode for native 4K, ray tracing and 30 FPS.
On the Xbox Series S, you can expect two modes – Quality for 4K/30 FPS and Performance for dynamic resolution and 60 FPS. The latter reportedly offered solid image quality and frame rate. Of course, there could be improvements for both platforms by launch.
Forza Motorsport releases on October 10th for Xbox Series X/S and PC. It launches day one for Game Pass.

The recent leaks of Microsoft’s court documents for its recent trial against the FTC have dominated the news cycle for several days now, and more new nuggets of information are still continuing to filter through. For instance, it’s now also emerged that out of Microsoft’s two current-gen Xbox consoles, the less powerful (and cheaper one) had a significantly larger share of the market than its counterpart, at least as of early last year.
YouTuber and artist 'Digital Dreams' has released a new video, showing off a heavily modded Starfield with over 50 mods and the artist's custom ReShade Ray Tracing shader.
As explained in the game review, Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty elevates the base game in all respects and nowhere is that more apparent than the technical side, which is this article's focus.
Microsoft is planning a mid-gen refresh for its Xbox Series X and Series S consoles, eyeing a release in 2024. A series of leaked court documents from the Microsoft vs. US FTC trial revealed a roadmap and concept images for its upcoming set of gaming systems, which also includes a new controller with gyro and haptic feedback. Codenamed ‘Brooklin,' the all-digital Xbox Series X boasts the same horsepower as the existing version, albeit lacking a disc drive. The console is cylindrically shaped and comes with a generous 2TB storage — up from 1TB — which I'm guessing is an SSD. It'll bear the same price tag of $499/ Rs. 54,990 and is slated to drop in late October, next year.
