B&B Forza Motorsport

Welcome to Brew and Breakdown. Let’s begin.

Our game featured today is Forza Motorsport. Wikipedia states, Forza Motorsport is a 2023 sim racing video game developed by Turn 10 Studios and published by Xbox Game Studios for Windows and Xbox Series X/S. It is the thirteenth main installment in the Forza series. Although it is the eighth Forza Motorsport title, succeeding Forza Motorsport 7, it is a reboot for the titular sub-series, dropping the sequential numbering from past entries' titles. It uses the Xbox Series X and Series S consoles to render higher definition graphics than its predecessors. Forza Motorsport was released on October 5, 2023, as early access for players who bought the Premium Edition or Xbox Game Pass players who bought the Premium Add-Ons Bundle DLC, and was released on October 10, 2023, for all other players.

At launch, Forza Motorsport has more than 500 vehicles and 800 upgrades. Approximately 80 vehicles from all eras and racing vehicle kinds are among the vehicles that have been so far announced. While over 100 of these will be new to the series, many of them will be returning from earlier Forza Motorsport games.

The game includes elements such as ray tracing in real-time on the track, tire wear, dynamic time of day, damage model changes with better-defined damage, and dirt buildup. There are other effects, such as "animated track life", "physically based lighting and volumetric fog effects", and "a fully procedural cloud system". The game also includes a single-player career mode and several online multiplayer modes. At launch, Forza Motorsport will have four DLC packs available to players.

Forza Motorsport was first announced at Xbox Showcase in 2020. In an interview with GamesRadar, Chris Esaki, Creative Director at Turn 10 Studios, emphasized the team's commitment to "pushing the boundaries of realism" in Forza Motorsport, and described the game as the "most technically advanced racing game ever made".
