As expected, Forza Motorsport was one of the headline games shown off at last night’s Xbox Games Showcase, though its appearance was briefer than expected. Nevertheless, a new trailer finally confirmed the release date.
It also gives us a closer look at the game’s cover cars in action as well as a first look at previously unannounced tracks and tuning menus.

The trailer finally confirms when we can play Forza Motorsport. After several delays, Forza Motorsport is coming to Xbox Series X|S and PC on 10 October 2023. Players who preorder the Premium Edition or Premium Add-Ons Bundle can get racing five days earlier on 5 October 2023.
