Forza Motorsport won't have splitscreen at launch due to "heavy investment" in graphics

After a long period of anticipation, Apple has just officially announced its September event, which has been named ‘Wonderlust'. The Apple event will take place on September 12 and is expected to unveil the iPhone 15 series and the Apple Watch Series 9. According to the company, the event will start at 10 AM PT, which is 10:30 PM IST. Some reports have suggested that the event is likely to be pre-recorded, although Apple has invited members of the media to its headquarters to watch the presentation in person. 

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.

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.
