Forza Motorsport, the racing game developed by Turn 10, is set to be released in a few days for those who purchased the Premium Edition. However, it will also be made available to those who didn’t purchase the Premium Edition next week on October 10. The timing of your access to the game will depend on which version you bought and your location.
For those who have purchased early access, the game will be available to play on October 5th at 12:01 AM local time worldwide. However, if you are in the Central or Pacific Time zones in the United States, you’ll be able to unlock and play it an hour earlier, at 11:01 PM and 9:01 PM respectively on October 4th. According to the information provided, it is suggested that players in the Mountain Time zone will have their games unlocked at 10:01. However, it is important to note that this detail was not explicitly confirmed by the studio, so there may still be some uncertainty regarding the exact timing.
Forza Motorsport offers a contrasting experience to Forza Horizon 5. While the latter emphasizes open-world driving, Forza Motorsport focuses on more traditional racing gameplay. Instead of exploring vast terrains, you’ll find yourself competing on race tracks in a controlled environment. This means you won’t encounter sandstorms or volcanoes during the races, but rather enjoy a more structured and focused racing experience.
Prior to its launch, Turn 10 announced some significant updates to career mode and the behavior of AI in their latest release. The artificial intelligence now mimics the skills and behaviors of professional drivers, providing a more realistic and challenging racing experience against computer-controlled opponents. In addition, the traditional method of earning money to unlock new cars has been replaced with a system where players receive Car Points as rewards. This change introduces a fresh approach to progression within the game.
