Forza Motorsport reviews are in, and the cutting-edge new racing game from Turn 10 Studios is now one of 2023's highest-rated releases. The newest Forza Motorsport game has been a long time coming for fans of the Xbox console-exclusive racing franchise.
From the original Forza Motorsport game all the way to 2017's Forza Motorsport 7, a new entry in the series launched every two years. And the years that didn't have Forza Motorsport often had Forza Horizon filling the gap. However, there has been a significant six-year wait between Forza Motorsport 7 and the newest Forza Motorsport game.
Forza Motorsport Confirms Gigantic File Size
Xbox Game Studios reveals the file size for the Forza Motorsport reboot half a month ahead of its launch, and it's going to be one beefy title.
Racing game fans have been waiting a long time to play the new Forza Motorsport game, but it seems that the wait was worth it. The new Forza Motorsport currently has an 84 overall critic rating, making it one of the highest-rated new video game releases of 2023 so far. But even though the new Forza Motorsport is one of 2023's highest-rated games, it's actually on the lower-end for a Forza Motorsport game. In fact, there is only one main series Forza Motorsport game with weaker reviews, that being the Xbox One launch titleForza Motorsport 5.
Forza Motorsport Review Scores
But that fact really just highlights how strong the Forza Motorsport franchise has been for Microsoft over the years. The first four Forza Motorsport games all earned aggregate scores north of 90, while Forza Motorsport 6 and 7 had 88 and 85, respectively. Regardless, the reviews indicate that Forza Motorsport will be a remarkable racing game experience at launch. Those willing to buy the Forza Motorsport Premium Edition can jump in right now through early access. Those willing to wait a bit will soon be able to play it in its entirety for nothing more than their Xbox Game Pass subscription fee, though.
Forza Motorsport is a day one Xbox Game Pass game, like all first-party Xbox titles. This means that come the official Forza Motorsport release date on October 10, Xbox Game Pass subscribers will be able to play the new game as much as they'd like. If the reviews are any indication, Forza Motorsport is definitely keeping Xbox Game Pass' momentum going strong.
Xbox Game Pass has been on an absolute roll as of late, with September 2023 seeing the launch of highly-praised games like Starfield and Lies of P. The addition of Forza Motorsport in October ensures that the second-half of 2023 will be one to remember for Xbox Game Pass subscribers.
Forza Motorsport launches October 10 for PC and Xbox Series X.
