With “Forza Motorsport” was announced last year for the spring of 2023, it’s time for us to know more about the game. And we finally have racing simulator details following Xbox and Bethesda video announcements. While more details aren’t available yet, we finally have some idea of how many cars and places to look for, along with some info on the upgrades that developer Turn10 Studios is getting. made.
The game will launch with a total of 500 vehicles, 100 of which have not yet appeared in a Forza Motorsport game. That could include some cars that never appeared in the any Forza before, but it could also include some of the cars that were added to the Horizon series that were never crossed. The developers emphasize that more modern racing cars will be included and customization will also be a big feature. Apparently there are “800 unique upgrades” on the cars on offer. And Turn10 didn’t provide the full list of cars, but it did provide the cars shown so far and they are listed below.

For courses, the number of track layouts is not provided, but there will be 20 locations, some of which will certainly have multiple course configurations. Five of the locations are new to the series, including the Kyalami track 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, cracks, and damage direction, and layering dirt so it realistically accumulates in low-pressure areas like recesses and recesses.”
Real-time weather and time of day are featured, and each track is affected by different temperatures, humidity, and rubber buildup. Clouds are also procedurally generated. All are impressive, although also in “Gran Turismo 7.”
Forza will surpass Gran Turismo with real-time graphics. It will be able to run at 4K resolution with ray tracing enabled transparent races, all at 60 frames per second. In “Gran Turismo 7”, ray tracing was limited to playback, photo modes, and menus, and the frame rate was only 30 frames per second. It all looks pretty spectacular in the video at the top, though some of the cars still look like older models from a couple of games ago, which detracts from the look.
“Forza Motorsport” was originally slated for a spring 2023 release. Turn10 didn’t give a more specific date, and the trailer apparently omitted “spring” from its expected release date. So maybe it will show up a little later. It will launch on Xbox Series consoles and for PCs running Windows 10 or 11.
