A rumor surfaced earlier today, suggesting that Forza Motorsport is in beta and some influencers have played it. And, from the looks of it, this new Forza Motorsport will be a cross-gen game, releasing on both old-gen and current-gen platforms. Moreover, the first WIP screenshots for it have been leaked online.
These leaked screenshots do not really show much. However, they basically confirm the game’s cross-gen nature as they are from its Xbox One version.
It’s worth noting that Reddit’s moderators have stated that these screenshots are legitimate. So yeah, this is indeed a WIP build of the new Forza Motorsport game.
In July 2020, Microsoft and Turn10 shared an in-engine trailer and some information about the new Forza Motorsport game.
As Microsoft has stated:
“With the new Forza Motorsport, ray tracing is coming to ForzaTech, you will see a dynamic world in 4K, 60fps, that is connected and dynamic – from surfaces of cars reflecting off each other, to brilliant red paint bouncing off intensely detailed track surfaces, and the interplay of light and shadow throughout the world.”
Stay tuned for more!

Nothing can be complete in 2022 without a frizzy hair black women taking up part of the image at all times even in leaked screenshots for a game solely focused on cars.
That’s how politically disgusting our hobbie became.
First time I see leaked images that aren’t:
– 240p
– blurred to hell and back
– watermarked to the point of unrecognition
– taken sideways while running that you see nothing
Actually never played any in the series. And not feeling much to do so, when I hear crossgen.
Wtf, time to let the old Pathetic weak POS die out allready!
This being cross-gen 2 years after launch of current gen is embarrassing. when we will get a real current gen game?!
Yeah absolutely. But I guess they will – SAY – but oh we started developing it way back! And sure it may be so. But damn it’s still depressing – a little! LOL!
Oh and maybe with UE5 games it will be new gen only and pc. Or atleast we can hope 🙂
Unfortunately UE5 is not next gen only, Fortnite is now on UE5 and it’s on all platforms. but if they want to use real UE5 features they have to ditch last gen.
Yep I know, and thats what im afraid of – that many will still target the old trash, and by then as you say; no real nextgen progression!
UE5 isn’t anything special. Lumen looks like a great feature but it’s just mesh shaders done with software instead of hardware.
Lumen is faked ray tracing… Basically screen space RT with limited probes. Technically the RT reshade plugin does a better job.
Other than that what is there? TAAU? Upscaling and aa that kinda sits between DLSS 1 and FSR 1 in terms of quality and performance.
Otherwise it’s just UE4 with a few other standard features developers added to their own versions of UE4. So now it’s standard but technically it already was.
The biggest benefit of ue5 will or should be faster development. One problem though… UE5 is terrible at open world. That’s going to need to be fixed.
Devs also need to drop dx11 and start using 12u and Vulkan. Most engines are dx11 with some dx12u or Vulkan functions thrown in… But the heart of the engine is still running dx11 which means limitations that should not be there.
Reshade RT GI is good only for screenshots. Screen space RT GI plugin has very distracting lighting fluctuation and there’s nothing you can do about it. Software lumen looks much better, and there’s also hardware lumen support now. Matrix tech demo use HW lumen and GI and reflections are much better because of it (although performance is worse with HW lumen).
UE5 isn’t anything special? Matrix tech demo shows insane amount of details thanks to the nanite technology. I havent seen anything similar on UE4.
what did tim sweeney do to you? who hurt you?
Considering the chip shortages are just ending… We will see cross gen probably through March 2023.
It truly sucks considering it holds things back. A perfect example on the Xbox is mesh shaders, true direct storage support (velocity architecture), whatever MS calls their DLSS like upscaling and anti aliasing solution and plenty more.
At least unlike Halo infinite with a game like Forza they can just scale down things like physics calculations, number of physics objects (like a 3 section tire model), number of triangles on cars and tracks, textures, lighting and volumetrics etc etc.
With halo they had to take what was once a much larger and more diverse halo ring, and features like coop but especially forge being delayed to make them work on the older consoles.
I really hope March 2023 is the LAST time we see a game released for last gen.
People not able or can’t afford to upgrade their PC’s are actually holding gaming back significantly more than consoles.
My laptop is more powerful than the average gaming PC based on the last 3 years of the steam hardware survey and it doesn’t look like the chip shortage will end.
4 core cpu’s from 8+ years ago still remain on top. Low end GPU’s still dominate. Less than 1% of gaming pc’s on steam can outperform the consoles and it’s not just because consoles don’t have all the security abstraction layers that PC’s do… You wouldn’t want a hardware virus trust me.
So PC gamers need to step up more than the developers do. PC should be pushing the industry forward but it’s not… Not anymore.
I don’t miss the days of buying the absolute best GPU and having it not be able to run games released 6 months alternate 800×600 @ 60fps. I hated that era and stopped gaming on PC for a few years because of it.
However… We have gone to the opposite extreme and it’s holding games back because a developer/publisher won’t make any money if they only make games that require ray tracing, 1440p, 8 gigs of VRAM (and fill it), at minimum something equivalent to a 5800x which isn’t an expensive cpu anymore, amazing ddr4 is cheap. I got 32 gigs of 4000mhz CL14-14-14-34 for $165 and a 3080ti FTW3 Ultra for $1465 at microcenter during the height of the chip shortages.
Obviously I don’t think everyone needs a 3080ti, I aim for 4k because I play in my living room but more people need at least a 3070 or 6800xt..
PC gaming needs to push the industry forward which will force console devs to stop making cross gen games.
PC pubs & devs share some blame here too. Time and time again the big studios will take money from Sony to ensure a game doesn’t look THAT much better than the ps5 version. That’s unacceptable and needs to stop. Sony has been pretty anti consumer since the moment they knew last gen was won which was 3 years in.
I own a ps5 and I have all the big exclusive games and not 1 of them would be impossible to do on even the 360/PS3 and no I don’t mean visual quality I mean gameplay AND visuals..
For example ratchet & clank is often spoken about in terms of being next gen but is it? Sure it’s pretty but it’s performance isn’t great. Those portals? We saw similar in the original Prey. Portals that instantly moved you to a completely different area that required loading all new assets instantly.
Clever coding isn’t next gen and that’s all ratchet & clank is. I absolutely love the game but I really wish it was on PC. Same with Returnal ..how is that “next gen”? GT7… definitely not next gen. Cars look great but everything else? It’s a minor upgrade over gt sport.
At least Forza will have RT during races at a locked 60 along with a ton of additional things the last gen version doesn’t..but it could still be better if they didn’t have to split their time.
If these are really images of Forza Motorsport 8, then they are from a very early version (when they started development of the game), but one thing I’m sure, this new Forza will show the producers of Gran Turismo 7 for PS5 how if it makes a great racing game with very high quality even if it is CrossGen, Forza Horizon 5 is there to prove it, in the video below they compared Gran Turismo 7 from 2022 with FM7 from 2017, which proved that FM7 from 2017 has much better graphics and physics quality than the GT7 of 2022!!!

What?
John Papadopoulos: Congratulations. You’re hired!
And with that, the world proceeded to weep.
Black women ain’t got time for racing!

2013’s hardware, 2013’s politics, 2005’s gameplay, made by Microsoft. The hype is real.
Whoa there! The person who uploaded the shots NOT the person who took them apparently said it was taken from a XBOX ONE. That IS NOT confirmation that the game is cross-gen. It is very likely that there was some miscommunication and the dude that uploaded the shots simply misspoke. Everything I’ve heard from Turn10 is that this game is XBOX Series consoles and PC only. Regardless, look at how amazing Forza Horizon 5 is and that is last gen, so even if this heresy turns out to be true it’s not the end of world… I still doubt that it will be on last gen consoles and will wait until Turn10 confirms it. I certainly wouldn’t run an article with the headline this one does… Shady sh*t John… Click-bait.
I need my Gran Turismo fix considering I can’t get my hands on a PS5, so this will be a good substitute.
Why, tho? In terms of simulation, there’s a lot of better games to play. If one wants to choose Forza, I can only assume this one is a fan of the series, otherwise, doesn’t worth the time and work.
Well, I’m interested in this one, but I don’t have any hopes it will be too much better than the last one. I’m probably staying with ACC and iRacing, but I want o see this one as well.
Forza Horizon killed Motorsport. Kids these days just want open world forza with roulette mtx and shiet.
ahhh right, the most african-people thing of all time, Nascar! hahahahahahahahahaha
