That\u2019s right; it\u2019s been over 725 days since you could buy a Forza Motorsport game this side of the second-hand market. Fortunately, that\u2019s about to change next month \u2013 but ahead of the much-anticipated launch of Forza Motorsport on PC and Xbox Series X|S consoles on October 10, 2023 we\u2019ve finally been able to get behind the wheel. Unsurprisingly, it does look and feel fabulous \u2013 but it\u2019s the more thoughtful tweaks to the moment-to-moment racing out on track that have me the most interested.<\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"mobile-ad-break\"><\/section>\n<section data-transform=\"ignvideo\" data-slug=\"forza-motorsport-gameplay-demo-on-xbox-series-x-4k-60fps\" data-loop=\"\"><\/section>\n<p>While our time with the Forza Motorsport preview build has essentially been unlimited since we were granted access to it, we should stress that it\u2019s admittedly only an extremely narrow sliver of the complete game.<\/p>\n<p>It begins with a brief playable intro, featuring a few laps in the high-powered cover cars \u2013 the hybrid, all-wheel drive 2024 Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray (the fastest production \u2019Vette ever made) and the 2023 Cadillac V-Series.R (the sports prototype that snatched a podium at this year\u2019s 24 Hours of Le Mans after a two-decade absence from the event for Cadillac). This first taste of the new Forza Motorsport reintroduces us to Maple Valley (which has been a stalwart circuit in the series since the original Forza Motorsport in 2005) and highlights the new Hakone circuit (another fictional, Grand Prix-style track based in Japan).<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll need a lot more laps of Hakone until I can make up my mind on its merits as a racetrack. At first blush, it seems like a very quick circuit with largely constant-radius corners \u2013 although it\u2019s quite flat and there aren\u2019t too many challenging segments in this layout. There\u2019s a lot going on aesthetically, though \u2013 from the huge LCD panels that line the large grandstands, to the well-lit blossom trees that frame several stretches of the track edges.<\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"slideshow\" data-slug=\"forza-motorsport-september-2023-hands-on-preview\" data-value=\"forza-motorsport-september-2023-hands-on-preview\" data-type=\"slug\" data-caption=\"\"><\/section>\n<p>Following this we\u2019ve been able to compete in the three-race tutorial series, which features three tracks (Mugello, South Africa\u2019s Kyalami, and another new fictional track called Grand Oak) and three cars (the 2019 Subaru STI S209, the 2018 Honda Civic Type R, and the 2018 Ford Mustang GT). That\u2019s a smart mix of cars as it gives us a tiny appetiser of some all-wheel drive, front-wheel drive, and rear-wheel drive action. That said, considering there are set to be over 497 more of them available in the game upon launch, I\u2019m hesitant to drill down too deeply on the driving dynamics based on this small cross section. I will say I was instantly comfortable with the handling. While it doesn\u2019t necessarily seem like a <em>total <\/em>reinvention of what the Turn 10 team refer to as the \u201cForza feel\u201d, there definitely is an increased tangibility to the sensation of the connection between the tyres and the tarmac. Simply put, grip feels more authentic \u2013 and there\u2019s more of it. Turn 10 has discussed this previously, but the word from the studio is that the advancements in Forza Motorsport\u2019s physics represent a bigger leap than the growth from Forza Motorsport 5, 6, and 7 combined. <\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"quoteBox\">Put simply, Forza Motorsport seems set to lean further into RPG territory than ever before.<\/section>\n<p>The new approach to the career mode has also largely been discussed in previous updates from the Turn 10 team as development has progressed, but seeing it unfold in real-time did prove interesting. Put simply, Forza Motorsport seems set to lean further into RPG territory than ever before. Upgrades are no longer all available from the outset; instead, they\u2019re unlocked for each car as you spend seat time in them and earn experience. They\u2019re also no longer purchased with credits; rather, they\u2019re acquired using \u2018Car Points\u2019 (which you\u2019ll accumulate by driving).<\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"poll\" data-id=\"1439ee24-b7c4-40f2-be75-ec1b8b7ca871\"><\/section>\n<p>To be honest, I don\u2019t really know what I make of it yet. I do like the look of the curated career mode and the way it promises to highlight elements of automotive history, and I like the \u201cbuilt, not bought\u201d philosophy. I do, however, find myself wondering how I\u2019ll warm to having upgrades gated behind a second layer of gamification \u2013 beyond simply being able to <em>afford<\/em> them in-game.<\/p>\n<p>What I do like, however, is the additional thought that\u2019s gone into finding ways to reward players for their actions on-track. Career-progression aside, these new tweaks are already having a positive effect on the racing. Practice sessions before each race, with their own objectives, make for a juicier track day experience. Highlighted micro-sectors on the circuits give us particular track sections to focus on and perfect; hopefully the sectors change on return visits to the same tracks.<\/p>\n<p>Most importantly, the ability to select your place on the grid means you can have the exact racing experience you want. If you want the old-school, chase-the-rabbit racing experience where you\u2019ll need to thread your car all the way to the front from the back of the pack in just a few laps (at the cost of racing against AI that probably won\u2019t necessarily be able to go toe-to-toe with you one-on-one), go for it. If you want to start further up and really ramp up the AI toughness for a more authentic challenge, that\u2019s also possible. It\u2019s a smart touch. I was also very pleased to see customisable fuel loads and more nuanced pit controls, but I\u2019m looking forward to more than four-lap races in production street cars to fully flex these options.<\/p>\n<p>Our time with Forza Motorsport has been limited to this tutorial series so we can\u2019t meaningfully discuss other pillars of the game like multiplayer or free play yet. Fortunately, it won\u2019t be long until we can, and we\u2019ll see you on track in just a few more weeks.<\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"divider\"><\/section>\n<p><em>Luke is a Senior Editor on the IGN reviews team.
