Microsoft has finally revealed the next entry in the Forza series, simply titled Forza Motorsport. Announced during the Xbox Games Showcase this morning, Forza Motorsport will release for the Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and Game Pass. Forza Motorsport is one of over 100 games that Microsoft states will be available at launch. Though the game itself has no announced release date.
The announcement comes with a brand new trailer showcasing the game on Xbox Series X. Developer Turn 10 promises to bring the most realistic driving experience ever from the series with this new entry, working with every aspect of the new console's power and speed.
After taking a small break in 2019 aside from the announcement of the mobile version of Forza Street, Forza Motorsport displays the major leap in power from the Xbox Series X. The trailer showcases the incredible attention to detail with the addition of ray tracing and native 4k resolution possible on the Series X to enhance the crisp visuals. With no date announced this will potentially mark the second year in a row without a Forza Motorsport game for an Xbox console. The Motorsport series would typically would trade years with its counterpart Forza Horizon which had its last release Forza Horizon 4 in 2018.
Captured using in-engine footage, the trailer showcases the attention to detail the series is known for in addition to working with the new Xbox Series X controller to give players the feedback needed to out-race the competition. The lack of a number in the title is a change from the series past suggesting that the game may be focused on games-as-a-service like what was recently discovered with Halo Infinite rather then the typical numbered entry.
Fans of the series that can't afford the Xbox Series X can still play the game on the Xbox One and even go a cheaper route through Xbox Game Pass for the console and PC, which will have the game available the same day it launches on the consoles. Though Microsoft has announced that Game Pass won't be available on PS4 or Nintendo Switch.
Forza Motorsport will be available on Game Pass, PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X when it launches.
