Forza Motorsport is coming in spring 2023 to Xbox Series X | S and Xbox Game Pass with real-time ray tracing on track. Maple Valley is back, and there is fully dynamic time of day. A trailer from the Xbox & Bethesda Showcase offers in-engine single camera gameplay with no cuts. “Advanced rendering and procedural generation techniques bring a new level of realism to the track,” explained the developers. They also said the grass, rocks, 3D vegetation, skys, and cloud all represent a technological leap forward. Ambient temperatures even affect how it is to drive on the road.
To get an idea of how nuts the details are in Forza Motorsport 2023, car damage is reproduced down to the individual scratches on the bodywork.
Last year, Forza Horizon 5 launched on Xbox and PC, bringing a critically acclaimed racing experience that fans appreciated on multiple levels. On one hand, it was just a great racing game. On the other hand, it was also a soothing free-roaming exploration experience, thanks to its Drone Mode that let you bring the camera anywhere. You could also just get really goofy with offensive license plates if you wanted, even if the developers tried to prevent that as much as possible.
