Forza Motorsport trailers, gameplay, and everything we know so far

Forza Motorsport is on track to be the most immersive entry in the racing sim series yet.

Built to take full advantage of the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S consoles, Forza Motorsport will feature over 500 real-life cars, more than 800 customizations and upgrades, and 20 environments at launch, as well as five new locations, that include South Africa for the first time. 

Turn 10 is aiming for Forza Motorsport to look, feel and sound more realistic than its predecessors. By utilizing tech that focuses on the finer details, the developer claims that tracks are now 10 times more detailed, while each upgrade will create a different sound profile for your car. Even dirt accumulation will be more realistic than ever before. 

It certainly looks like Forza Motorsport will be a technical showcase of what the latest Xbox hardware can really do and we can't wait to see how it compares to Gran Turismo 7 on PS5. Want to know more? Read on for everything we know about Forza Motorsport so far.

Forza Motorsport is set to release in "Spring 2023" (likely between March and June), and will be available on Xbox Series X|S and PC. It'll also be available on Xbox Game Pass from day one.

During the Xbox and Bethesda Developer Direct showcase on January 25, however, it was stated that Forza Motorsport is "coming 2023" rather than "Spring 2023", suggesting the racing sim may have been delayed. This hasn't been confirmed by developer Turn 10 but TRG has contacted Xbox for confirmation.

As Forza Motorsport is being built to take advantage of the latest Xbox hardware, the racing sim will not be available on Xbox One consoles.

Forza Motorsport: gameplay

Forza Motorsport looks like a racing sim as pure as they come, providing a big update on what Forza Motorsport 7 offered. For starters, it'll be a "huge generational leap" over previous games. Chris Esaki, the game's creative director, shared details on how Forza Motorsport’s physics have evolved from Forza Motorsport 7 during a Forza Monthly stream in May 2021. 

“To put the physics work into perspective… the changes we made from Forza Motorsport 7 till now, is more than the changes we made from [Forza Motorsport] 4 through [Forza Motorsport] 7," Esaki said during the stream. "It’s basically a huge generational leap coming to the game.” 

According to Esaki, the tire collision model has also been overhauled.  From the first game to Forza Motorsport 7, tires have always had a single point of contact with the track surface, and have refreshed at 60 cycles per second (60Hz). 

In Forza Motorsport, there are now eight points of contact with the track surface, and the engine will refresh at 360 cycles per second (360Hz). That’s a 48x fidelity jump for a single-tire collision. Multiple tire compounds have been confirmed too, a series first. Tire compounds such as hard, medium, and soft will deepen the gameplay and racing strategy, and Esaki said it will lead to “exciting new gameplay decisions during a race".

In addition, Forza Motorsport is set to feature the most realistic and immersive sound of any series entry to date as the game's audio has been mixed natively for Dolby Atmos and Windows Sonic. There will also be new features, such as regional track announcers and installed upgrades creating different sound profiles for your car, reflecting the parts you’ve fitted.

Forza Motorsport: car list

What kind of cars can we expect to see in Forza Motorsport, and more importantly, which vehicle will grace the game's cover? While it's hard for us to guess the whole roster currently, we do know that Forza Motorsport will feature 500 real-world cars at launch alongside over 800 upgrades. Turn 10 has said this roster will feature the most modern cars the series has seen to date.

What's more, these cars will look and sound more realistic than ever. Turn 10 has used a spectrophotometer, which "captures multiple data points of light behavior on a surface", to make the paint on Forza Motorsport's cars look more realistic. Cars will also accumulate dirt more realistically and damage will be more authentic – with both affecting each vehicle uniquely.

In addition, the advances made to Forza Motorsport's physics simulation are "greater than Forza Motorsport 5, 6, and 7 combined", according to Turn 10.

Turn 10 has said it will reveal its full launch day car list closer to release but, for now, the developer has confirmed the following cars:

Forza Motorsport will launch with 20 environments, each featuring multiple track layouts. In addition to returning fan favorites, the next entry in the series will feature five new locations, including one in South Africa for the first time.

These environments will have 10 times more detail than previous Forza Motorsport games, according to Turn 10, and will feature fully animated 3D spectators and detailed vegetation. What's more, Forza Motorsport will feature ray-traced environments, which aims to make environments look even more realistic.

These environments will also boast dynamic time of day, weather, and track temperature mechanics, which will affect your racing experience.

So far, Turn 10 has confirmed the following track locations for Forza Motorsport:

  • Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps
  • Hakone
  • Kyalami
  • Laguna Seca
  • Maple Valley
  • Silverstone Circuit
  • Suzuka Circuit

Forza Motorsport: playtests

Turn 10 revealed that the Forza Feedback Panel will be how players can get their hands on the next Forza Motorsport, so the game can be shaped by the community.  Signing up is simple: you must be over 18 years old and agree to a confidentiality statement, which you can opt out of at any time if you decide to leave the program. 

The first playtest took place on May 8, 2021, and resulted in a “ton of great feedback” from the community, according to creative director Chris Esaki. Esaki said that after the playtest, the team was pretty sure that everyone is “super hyped and energized” by what was shown. He also explained that the reason why only small parts of the game are being tested is so Turn 10 gets “critical feedback” on “focused areas”. 

But if you happened to miss out on the first playtest, fear not. More playtests are expected to take place in the future, though we're waiting for an exact date on when these will take place.
