That’s right, just get in a car and drive all day. You will see how the day turns into night and the night into day as you go through the vast world that the game has. You can do it alone or with friends, and yes, you can still compete. But you can also do much more than that here.
#1 in Forza Motorsports
- Developer: Game Games
- Publisher: Xbox Game Studios
- Platforms: Xbox Series X/S, PC
- Release date: 2023
Let’s start with a familiar name. Because for a time, Forza Motorsport was one of the pinnacles of the racing genre. Getting to have 7 main titles and create spin-offs like with Forza Horizon. However, with that 7the main title, things got a little… testy among the fans. Because the game just wasn’t up to par with other racing games out there.
As such, the upcoming Forza Motorsport reboot will be something you may want to check out, as they will no doubt be going to great lengths to try to make the line of titles relevant again. You can expect fun and fast racing, lots of cars to drive and more. Hopefully, we’ll know more soon.
