Product overview

Everything worth knowing.

A detailed, evidence-led view of the product—not a generic sales summary.

Forza Motorsport for PC is the equivalent of Forza Motorsport 8, but is more of a reboot of the original game than a follow-on: hence the name having no number next to it. It is a car racing simulation video game. About the Game This new game features more than 500 cars with 800 upgrades (upgrades must be earned being unique to each car and earned through spending time in the car and clocking up XP), including some from every age of vehicle racing (80 from all eras) and 100 of these are new to the game. Once you open up the game, you can participate in an Open Practice to learn the track and practice with their car, then go to the Challenge the Grid menu where you can customise your starting position, opponent difficulty, and more to challenge yourself and increase potential rewards. While pole position seems to be the best place to start, there are rewards for starting further back, so be sure to check those out before you decide. When you’re ready, you'll race against an array of AI ‘Drivatars’ (which are new and improved and – importantly – play fair!) in the Featured Race. Once this loop has been completed, you can customize your car before moving onto the next race. Right from the beginning, you will be able to access four DLC packs. The Builders’ Cup allows you to get hands on and go overboard with customising your car, even beyond the bounds of common sense! There is a plethora of fixes, boosts and cool gadgetry to invest in – or you can just press ‘Quick Upgrade’ and let the CPU do it all for you. The Builders’ Cup is all about developing a relationship with each car you drive — you'll slowly learn the limits of every car as you drive and tweak them, and be able to steadily improve those cars with new upgrades and parts as your experience increases.
