OverviewOverview

Forza Motorsport 7 immerses players in the exhilarating thrill of competitive racing. From mastering the new motorsport-inspired campaign to collecting a wide range of cars to experiencing the excitement of driving at the limit, this is Forza reimagined.

Forza Motorsport was first released on the original Xbox and over the years has been released on XBox 360 and Xbox One. These include the Rewind feature in Forza 3 to help players learn from mistakes, Kinect controls in Forza 4, split screen racing for two players on one console in Forza 6 and day, night and weather in Forza 7.

Although with all the driving assists turned off, and possibly the addition of a wheel controller, this is a super realistic and hugely challenging racing game, with assists turned on it can be accessible to all ages.

Forza Motorsport 8 is on Xbox Series X with 4K support and faster, more realistic visuals. Forza Motorsport 7 is updated on Xbox Series X at 4K resolution and smoother graphics and quicker loading times.
