Forza Motorsport 8, FM8
Release Date: October 10, 2023
The eighth installment in an iconic series of racing games and a reboot of sorts. Forza Motorsport was created nearly entirely from scratch by Turn 10 Studios. The game features new tracks, cars, advanced physics and ray tracing.
Forza Motorsport is the eighth installment of a bestselling racing game series originating from 2005. Like the previous installments, it was developed by Turn 10 Studios and published by Microsoft.
Forza Motorsport has the player participate in races all around the globe. The track roster includes some returning locations, such as Maple Valley, Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps and Laguna Seca Raceway, as well as some entirely new tracks, such as the South African Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit and the Japanese Circuit Hakone. Players can drive various vehicles, including exotic super-fast cars, more common sports cars and some vehicular legends in its own right, Cars can be modified cosmetically and mechanically.
The developers did their best to make each race feel as realistic as possible. All the tracks and cars were created from scratch, the time of day and the weather change during the race, the physics have also been improved; factors such as asphalt temperature, rainfall, rubber compound used in tires and tire wear all affect traction. Players must now also manage fuel. Cars can still be damaged during races, the damages remaining significant.
Forza Motorsport supports singleplayer and multiplayer.
Yet another aspect Forza Motorsport created anew from scratch are its visuals. Compared to the previous game, this one stands out primarily due to ray tracing, providing realistic reflections on windows and cars. The game overall is much more detailed. Vehicles suffer realistic damages during races, ranging from minor scratches to clearly visible dents. Yet another new detail is that cars get progressively filthier during the race.

A series of racing games created and developed by Turn 10, a studio owned by Microsoft. Forza Motorsport was born in 2005 as a Redmond giant's direct response to the series Gran Turismo - a hit from the Xbox's rival PlayStation consoles. A fierce and even rivalry quickly developed between the two brands, which continues to this day. Forza has also become a hallmark of Microsoft's hardware due to its very high quality graphics.

Adrian Campos, one of the co-developers of Forza Motorsport, shared his story of working with Turn 10 Studios. And his tale indicates that the poor state of the game at its release day may have largely due to the fact that Microsoft hires devs on short-term contracts, forcing staff turnover.

GamesRadar+: 3.5 / 5 by Justin Towell
Forza Motorsport's fantastic online racing, brilliant weather effects, and liquid-smooth game engine are at odds with the dull, one-note offline gameplay that's nowhere near as fun as that of its superlative predecessor. Turn 10 has delivered a racing game that's slicker than ever, but also a bit of a step backwards.
God is a Geek: 9.5 / 10 by Steve Chambers
An excellent companion piece to the open-world, frantic off-road action of Forza Horizon, Forza Motorsport is the next generation of racing that I've been waiting so very long for.
Shacknews: 8 / 10 by Jan Ole Peek
After six years of waiting for the next iteration of Forza Motorsport, Turn 10 Studios delivers a solid offering, packed with hundreds of cars, upgrades, and tuning options, all bundled in a gorgeous presentation package. Not outstanding, but good support for racing hardware means that the experience on track is exactly what Forza fans have been waiting for.
