With last year’s announcement of a Spring 2023 launch for Forza, it’s about time we learned more about the game. After Xbox and Bethesda released the video, we finally have details on the racing simulator. While there are still more details yet to be fleshed out, we finally know how many cars and locations to look for, as well as some info on the upgrades developer Turn10 Studios is making.
The game will feature a total of 500 cars, 100 of which have not yet appeared in the Forza Motorsport game.This may include some cars that never appeared any Forza titles before, but it may also include some cars that were added to the Horizon series but never crossed over. The developers stress that more modern racing cars will be included, and customization will also be a feature. Apparently, the car on offer has “800 unique upgrades.” Turn10 didn’t give a full list of cars, but it did provide the cars currently on display, listed below.

As for the tracks, no number of track layouts was given, but there will be 20 locations, some of which will certainly have multiple track configurations. Five of the locations are new to the series, including the Kyalami racetrack in South Africa.
Turn10 notes that nearly every aspect of the game has been upgraded, including the physics system, sound effects, graphics and even the dirt and damage system. In the words of Turn10: “We’re simulating paint thickness, flaking and directionality of damage, while layering dirt so it can realistically accumulate in low pressure areas like recesses and alcoves”
Featuring real-time weather and time of day, each track is affected by varying temperatures, humidity and rubber buildup. Clouds are also procedurally generated. All of this is impressive, despite also appearing in “Gran Turismo 7”.
Forza will take its place on Gran Turismo with real-time graphics.It will be able to run at 4K resolution with ray tracing enabled middle The races, all played at 60 frames per second. In Gran Turismo 7, ray tracing is limited to playback, camera modes, and menus, and the frame rate only reaches 30 frames per second. It all looks spectacular in the video at the top, although some of the car models still look like old cars from a few races ago, which detracts from the look.
Forza was originally slated for a spring 2023 release. Turn10 didn’t give a more specific date, and the trailer conspicuously omits “spring” from its expected release date. So it might come out a little later. It will be available on Xbox Series consoles and PCs running Windows 10 or 11.
