Xbox and Turn 10 Studios have finally shared the PC requirements for the next iteration of Forza Motorsport.

As if October wasn't already going to be busy enough for new games. Publisher 505 Games has revealed that Ghostrunner 2, the sequel to a terrific cyberpunk platformer from 2020, will arrive on October 26th. It will be available on PC (Steam, Epic Games Store and GOG), PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. Pre-orders are open and those who snap up the Brutal Edition will get access 48 hours early.

As Forza Motorsport’s launch continues to draw closer, developer Turn 10 Studios is keeping up a consistence cadence of reveals for the tracks that will be featured in the racing sim upon release, from new additions like Grand Oak Raceway to returning favourites like Road America and Maple Valley Raceway.

The busy fall calendar of game releases remains in flux. Remedy Entertainment and publisher Epic Games have pushed back the Alan Wake II release date by 10 days to October 27th, and it seems the decision isn't specifically to do with giving the studio more time to polish the game. "October is an amazing month for game launches and we hope this date shift gives more space for everyone to enjoy their favorite games," a tweet on the Alan Wake Twitter (ugh, X) account reads.

Remedy has delayed the release of Alan Wake 2 by ten days to avoid clashing with the release of other games.

Five of the 20 tracks that Forza Motorsport will launch with in October are going to be completely new – like the recently revealed Grand Oak Raceway – but plenty, of course, are going to be familiar to fans of the series.

Forza Motorsport has a new short trailer, with this one showing off one of the tracks. The track revealed in this new trailer is Grand Oak Raceway. The raceway has a few long straights, broken up by curves where driving skills will be tested.

Players hoping to hop into with a friend by their side on launch day will have to rethink their plans. Developer Turn 10 has announced that its upcoming racing title won’t support split-screen play at launch when it comes to PC and Xbox Series X|S on October 10.

Turn 10 Studios’ Forza Motorsport won’t have split-screen multiplayer at launch, but the online multiplayer will receive several new features. The developer outlined several of these in a recent blog post, like Featured Multiplayer. Described as a “live, real-world time-based mode of pre-defined live events,” it offers scheduled races with real-world times.

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.
