In video games, the racing genre has become a timeless classic type of gaming. Whether enjoying a party-style game like with friends or experiencing the more serious and realistic nature of driving in a game like , racing games are a staple of the video game market, and they aren't going anywhere soon. Playing solo or multiplayer, there is nothing else that brings the same feeling of exhilaration and speed without real-life dangers as a good virtual racecar.

Turn 10 Studios did something different with by making you level up your cars. In prior games, you could just spend credits to upgrade cars, which was a straightforward and meaningless method for growing your garage. However, you have to level your car by using it to unlock upgrades. Furthermore, upgrades have their own currency, separate from the credits you use to purchase new vehicles.

The new game brings the long-running sim racing franchise to the Xbox Series X/S for the first time, but a lack of split-screen multiplayer support marks a break with series tradition. Although the companion series has never featured split-screen renditions of its open-world environments, consoles have always been able to handle local multiplayer in 's more focused racetracks.

However, with cars ranging from 50,000 to 450,000 credits, getting your hands on «the one» may take longer than you think.

Still, everyone has to start somewhere, and the first car they choose can affect their performance in early races.

Whether you're buying new parts for style or performance, CP allows you to make your favorite car that much better, so players are bent on making as much CP as possible in the shortest time.

As one of the more hotly anticipated games of 2023, a lot has been riding on the new Forza Motorsport. A soft reboot for the long-lasting franchise, it has taken a whopping six years for the developer Turn 10 to push out a new entry. While this would usually be cause for celebration, things aren’t looking great as it currently stands, with an impressive list of known issues in Forza Motorsport for Turn 10 to acknowledge and resolve.

Though Forza Motorsport’s global launch is still about a day away, the racing sim title has been available in early access for a few days now, and as you’d expect from any game (especially this early in its life), in spite of being a technically impressive product, it’s not totally devoid of glitches.

I’ve spent a lot of time behind a steering wheel over the past week, and I think I’m pretty likely to carry that forward through to the weekend, with Forza Motorsport in that weird Schrödinger state of expensive edition early access, but with the full release not until next week. There’s no messing around for AC Mirage, though. That throwback Assassin’s Creed adventure is just out and you can play it now. What a time to be alive!

Another somewhat worryingly warm week is coming to a close, so it’s time to check in on the video games that we’ve been playing. First and foremost in my own gaming time has been Forza Motorsport, which toes the line between reinvention and continuation for Turn 10’s Xbox counterpart to Gran Turismo. It’s a game that I’m looking forward to seeing grow over time, that’s for sure.

Here's everything you need to know about the Forza Motorsport unlock time.

The series has been the go-to racing series for Xbox players since all the way back in 2005, and in spite of various challengers nothing else has quite compared.

Now, Turn 10 Studios is back with , returning to the core franchise.

Every month I'll be running down the games you need to be keeping an eye on, from the big triple-A headliners, to the intriguing indies you might overlook.

Forza is looking to go back to what made it the premier racer for many fans. By having the ultra-realistic mechanics to putting players as close as they can be to their dream car, it’s no wonder why the series is a household name now. Continuing this trend, Turn 10 Studios is looking ahead and bringing back the fan-favorite franchise: Forza Motorsport. We haven’t seen a new Motorsport game since Forza Motorsport 7. So for all the car heads out there, this is something to look forward to. On top of that, it looks like Turn 10 Studios wants to replicate the Forza Horizon’s accessibility in this entry. This way Forza Motorsport has the potential to be the biggest in the series.

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.

Forza is one of several major franchises that have put an increasing amount of emphasis on accessibility options, and it looks like the upcoming instalment in the racing sim series won’t be bucking that trend. Developer Turn 10 Studios has revealed the full list of accessibility features that will be available in Forza Motorsport at launch, and it’s quite a comprehensive one.

Forza Motorsport’s launch is about three ways away now, and ahead of its looming release, developer Turn 10 Studios is continuing its rollout of new details for the racing sim. Recently, with a couple of new trailers, the developer showcased two more of the 20 tracks that’ll be available in the game at launch.

On Series X, the file size is more than 130 GB.

2023’s conveyer belt of massive new releases is showing no signs of slowing down. In fact, if anything, it’s going to speed up faster than ever in the month of October- and among the many, many games set to launch next month, one of them is now available to pre-load.

After a few quiet weeks, things are picking up in the gaming industry as we move into the autumn. In fact, whisper it, but today marks 100 days until Christmas!

An early Forza Motorsport 2023 vs Forza Motorsport 7 comparison video has been released, showing some of the visual improvements.

Yesterday, a fresh round of Forza Motorsport previews made the rounds, which included details on the game’s Xbox Series X/S visual modes. We learned we’ll be getting three modes on XSX -- Performance (4K, 60fps), Performance Ray Tracing (4K, ray-tracing, 60fps), and Visuals (4K, ray tracing, 30fps) – but there a few details left out.

Forza Motorsport seems to meet the greatest expectations fans have when it comes to Xbox Series consoles’ performance.

Fans of the Forza Motorsport franchise should prepare for the next mainline installment. The new game just dropped today on the official Forza YouTube channel. Here, we’re getting a look at a couple of race tracks before diving a bit more into starting off your actual racing career. With nearly twenty minutes of footage, there’s enough here to check out to prepare you a little more before the development team unleashes their next racing installment into the public. 

The new Forza Motorsport races our way in less than a month, and while the game may not be quite as big as Starfield, it definitely shouldn’t be overlooked by Xbox fans. A new round of info, previews, and footage has gone out today, and Turn 10 Studios’ latest is certainly looking impressive. First up, let’s check out a healthy chunk of new Forza Motorsport gameplay, showing off the rebuilt Maple Valley and Hakone Circuit, as well as the brand-new Grand Oak Raceway. Check it out for yourself, below.

It’s been six years since the last Forza Motorsport game. The circuit-racing series has been on extended hiatus while the shop was more than ably minded by its knockabout cousin Forza Horizon, an open-world spinoff so exuberant and fun that it became the main event. In the meantime, Motorsport developer Turn 10 Studios has been rebuilding its technology for a new hardware generation and reconsidering the structure of its racing action, which spent much of the Xbox One era bogged down in a mess of loot boxes and overdeveloped live-service progression systems.

It’s been six years since Forza Motorsport 7 was released, and a fraction under two years since it was delisted. That’s right; it’s been over 725 days since you could buy a Forza Motorsport game this side of the second-hand market. Fortunately, that’s about to change next month – but ahead of the much-anticipated launch of Forza Motorsport on PC and Xbox Series X|S consoles on October 10, 2023 we’ve finally been able to get behind the wheel. Unsurprisingly, it does look and feel fabulous – but it’s the more thoughtful tweaks to the moment-to-moment racing out on track that have me the most interested.

Hands-on impressions for Turn 10 Studios’ Forza Motorsport are coming on September 11th, but that’s not all. The developer has announced the next edition of the Forza Monthly livestream for the same date at 9 AM PDT. There are no further details, but perhaps we’ll see more of the +100 new cars in action.

The classic survival horror series Alone in the Dark recently announced a reboot set to release in October, but it just got delayed to January. This push isn’t for the usual reasons. The game doesn’t need more polish or anything like that. It’s simply a matter of finding an audience in the bustling gaming month of October, given the flood of titles coming in the next several weeks.

The remake of Alone in the Dark will be released around three months later than anticipated, publisher THQ Nordic announced today. The reason is quite simple: avoiding the crazy release schedule of October 2023. As such, the game will now launch on January 16th, 2024.

Turn 10 Studios’ Forza Motorsport has received new gameplay videos lately, showcasing the various in-game tracks, with the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course recently revealed. However, more details are coming next week via some new hands-on impressions.

Turn 10 Studios continues its rollout of details on Forza Motorsport as we draw closer to racing sim’s launch a little over a month from now, and the developer has revealed another new track that will be available in the game upon its release.

After August, we probably wouldn't have minded a quiet September of continued journeying in Baldur's Gate 3, a new all-time great RPG, or of mech engineering in Armored Core 6, FromSoftware's triumphant return to its classic action series. Instead, September is PC gaming's most packed month of the year.

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.
