Turn 10 has confirmed that Forza Motorsport won't launch with three specific features, in part due to the «heavy investment» of the game's graphics.
During a recent Forza Monthly broadcast, creative director Chris Esaki revealed that the team has decided to not include split-screen, AI competitors, and spectator mode on the release of Forza Motorsport (via Eurogamer).
When talking about spectator mode and AI races, Esaki explained that they won't be included in Feature Multiplayer because they don't fit the mode's rules, saying, «Having players come into a Feature Multiplayer event, and taking players slots, and then spectating, it's not really the racing that we had intended.
»Similarly, racing with AI in Feature Multiplayer, with all its potential impacts on your safety rating, also didn't make a whole lot of sense to have."
Split-screen in particular is another legacy feature that has been implemented in the series prior, but won't be in the upcoming game on release, the main reason being the game's graphical limitations.
«And since we're on the topic of some legacy features that aren't in at launch,» Esaki said, «our heavy investment in pushing our new graphical features and our complete overhaul of the rendering engine, unfortunately, made split-screen really difficult to implement, and it's also not going to be in for launch.»
It's unclear at this time whether Turn 10 intends on adding these missing features down the road, but the use of the words 'for launch' does definitely leave the door open.

Nintendo has revealed more information on the upcoming Super Mario Bros Wonder.
With the clock clicking down to the launch of Forza Motorsport about a month and a half from now, Turn 10 Studios has revealed several tracks that will be featured in the racing sim over recent weeks, including the likes of Road America, Maple Valley Raceway, Suzuka Circuit, Nürburgring GP, and a new introduction in Grand Oak Raceway. Now, a couple more tracks have been revealed for the game.
When I saw Forza Motorsport at Summer of Gaming a couple of months ago, I came away a little disappointed. Forza’s pedigree of having some of the most gorgeous visuals of any racing game is well known, and while the latest iteration of Motorsport undoubtedly looked good, it lacked polish at the time. So as a long-time Forza fan I’m pleased to say that Turn 10 has done a lot of work and after a behind-closed-doors demo at gamescom showing the game on the Xbox Series X, I walked away happy. Forza is definitely on track.
Larian Studios CEO Swen Vincke just announced on Twitter that Baldur's Gate 3 will launch this year after all, thanks to a concession made by Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer: the Series S version won't have split-screen co-op functionality, which was the technical hurdle mentioned by the developer as the cause for the delay.
Back in January, Turn 10 presented us with the traditional listing of the Granular Technical Advancements™ coming in Forza Motorsport. It was an impressive rundown of things like «a fully procedural cloud system,» car paint «sourced using a spectrophotometer» which frankly sounds like a gizmo that gets wheeled out during one of those silly ghost-hunting shows, and the pièce de résistance, «hardware accelerated convolution reverb [that] accurately reproduces how sounds in Forza interact within an acoustic space.»
Forza Motorsport will feature 20 tracks at launch, a number of which have been revealed by developer Turn 10 Studios in the lead up to the racing sim’s launch, from returning favourites like Road America, Maple Valley Raceway, and Suzuka Circuit, to new introductions like the Grand Oak Raceway.
True to the traditions of the franchise, the upcoming Forza Motorsport is once again looking to push the envelope with its visual and technical achievements, which is why it comes as no surprise that the system requirements for its PC version are quite steep, even if you choose to play on the lowest settings.
Today, Turn 10 announced the official PC specifications for its upcoming racing simulation game Forza Motorsport, due for release on October 10th (though just like Starfield, it is playable five days in advance for those who pre-purchase the Premium Edition).
Microsoft has announced a number of new Forza Motorsport details to coincide with the start of Gamescom in Cologne this week.
