Turn 10 Studios has outlined its post-launch content schedule for Forza Motorsport, which launches next month. Each month will feature content like new tracks, cars and events to complete. While the Nürburgring Nordschleife arrives in Spring 2024, players can look forward to the arrival of Yas Marina in November with update 2.0.
Rebuilt from the ground up for the reboot, it features a “more flowing hairpin” for “better racing and overtaking opportunities.” Another track is coming in December, which will be revealed soon. As with launch day tracks, each supports a dynamic time of day, with the weather and track conditions changing accordingly.
New cars are also coming and will be added in the Showroom for purchase with credits or unlocked by finishing Featured Tours. This is aside from the Car Pass, which adds a new car weekly for its duration. The Featured Tours are limited-time events in Career Mode based on different themes and Spotlight Cars. Check out the Featured Tours for October below:
Each is available for two weeks, and those who complete all four events will unlock a Showcase Event and a new car, like the new Motorsport 2020 Acura #6 ARX-05 DPi. Players can also look forward to new content and themes in the Open Tour, with the first celebrating German Manufacturers. There are four PI class series, and once again, completing all four will net a free car (which is yet to be revealed).
Forza Motorsport launches on October 10 for Xbox Series X/S and PC while also being available for Game Pass. Pre-loads are live – check out its list of accessibility features here.

NASA has several space and ground-based telescopes in place to discover, track, and study asteroids. But if you're a budding astronomer, you can help the space agency too! NASA's new Daily Minor Planet Project allows astronomers and skywatchers to help discover new asteroids and track them in data sets. To capture asteroids, the Daily Minor Project uses the NASA-funded, University of Arizona-based Catalina Sky Survey which captures nearly 1000 images every night. Due to this volume, NASA scientists fall short of personnel to study these images. After looking at the image, you just have to click on a yes or a no button and add a comment if necessary, before moving on to the next image.

It was retail magnate Marshall Field who allegedly said we should “give the lady what she wants.” What she wants in 2023 is, ever more increasingly it would seem, to punch a large corporation in the mouth. The team at Osprey Games is happy to oblige like-minded anti-establishment types with Undaunted 2200: Callisto, coming to market some time in 2024. Gone are the heavy dad-vibes of an octogenarian’s World War II fantasy, replaced instead by a near-future conflict pitting vile corporations against their poorly treated workers.
