Forza Motorsport will be released ‘later this year’

Forza Motorsport, the latest entry into the more serious side of the franchise, is being ‘polished and prepared’ for release ‘later this year’. The developer previously talked about a release in spring 2023.

The change in word choice may indicate a delay in release, but at the same time there are still about two months left in this spring. If the game is still released during that period, it can technically also be described as ‘later this year’. Game journalist Jeff Grubb, who often provides insider news from gameland, previously reported However, the game had been moved to later in the year and then ‘probably not the first half of the year’.

Forza Motorsport is the counterpart of Forza Horizon and focuses more on professional racing on race tracks; Forza Horizon is more about street racing. The last game in the series dates from 2017. Horizon received a new part in 2021 in the form of Horizon 5.

The last time the game was shown was in January. Then developer Turn 10 Studios talked about ‘the most technically advanced racing game ever made’. The game should contain more than five hundred collectible cars and twenty environments. In addition, the studio talked about a fully dynamic weather system and a greatly improved physics model. The game should be released for Windows and the Xbox Series.
