Time to start your engines, racers. After over six years of waiting, the doors are finally opening for the next generation ofForza Motorsport. Well, they’re opening forsomeplayers. Forza Motorsport (2023) enjoys five days of early access, available to those who purchased the Forza Motorsport Premium Edition or the Premium Add-Ons Bundle.
That’s still five days of early access to one of the bestXbox games of the year, with a roster of over 500 cars, 20 tracks, and a ton of game modes and races to enjoy. In ourForza Motorsport (2023) review, I concluded that Turn 10 Studios had achieved a new height for the simulation racing series, with some of the best driving I’ve ever experienced in a racing game. It’s not perfect, but it’ll undoubtedly improve after launch. This game is designed to be updated for years to come, and Turn 10 is sure to bring plenty of improvements over time.
