The Week in Review has announced that the next episode of #ForzaMonthly will broadcast live from E3 the day after Xbox’s Briefing:
There hasn’t been any other indication of what we might see of Forza Motorsport 7, and the most recent news of the next Forza project is that it’s in the concept stage. Just in case, below are additional links and times for both official Forza streams as well as related Xbox schedules which may feature Forza segments or news.
Work in progress - I’ll be adding any updates to www.bit.ly/ForzaCalendars throughout the weekend and next week.
WHAT TO WATCH FOR
#XboxE3 Briefing - Forza has typically been featured on stage within the first 30 minutes but there’s no announced sequence, so be sure to catch the entire 90-120 minute show. The Briefing may also reveal details about upcoming Xbox hardware and features like Xbox Game Pass or other tech of interest to Forza players.
Giveaways - While you can watch the E3 Briefing on just about any channel, Mixer/Xbox will have a MixPot of rewards if you watch there while signed in. There may be segments throughout each day where other giveaways are offered to various viewer chats. E3 attendees in the past have been able to pick up DLC codes and Forza pins.
Discounts - If you don’t already own FH7, Xbox Deals has up to 50% discounts from June 7-17. See also majornelson.com
Merchandise - E3 attendees and online shoppers can pick up Xbox and Forza collection shirts and hats at the official Xbox Gear store. https://gear.xbox.com
Press - IGN and others in the past have published significant Forza reveal articles and interviews on the day of the briefing. Also look for specific press channel live interviews and demos from their E3 stages throughout the week as a possible source of Forza news.
Nearby in L.A. - Xbox has an entire Xbox Plaza outside the official E3 site, and the nearby Petersen Museum has hosted Forza events in the past.

The Xbox Briefing discussed the upcoming Project xCloud streaming, streaming from console, the next console (Project Scarlet) coming Holiday 2020, and new Xbox Game Pass features. Here’s the overview of everything Xbox announced today.
Dang, why’s it gotta start so late? Forza Monthly starts at 8pm EST and it will probably last like a hour? Does anyone actually know what they will be talking about?
The first hour featured behind the scenes details about LEGO and FH4. Timestamps for the Forza Motorsport content: 1hr02 - Brian Ekberg talks to Jen Yi - Director of eSports at Turn 10 - about the history of ForzaRC, its recent testing with teams, the use of Forza Race Regulations in adjudication, and longterm plans. When will we hear more about ForzaRC? “I’m going to say August.” 1hr14 - Dan Greenawalt talks about his first time on the E3 stage and FM3 1hr16 - The time Bill Gates was demoing FM1 at CES and the game crashed 1hr22 - FM7’s support history, listening to communities, future support 1hr30 - “We currently do not have a timeline” or date for the next game 1hr32 - aka.ms/ForzaFeedback user research survey program 1hr36 - Project Scarlett and Forza
Two things i got from ForzaMonthly in terms of “motorsport”.
Through recent testing with Forza RC you have found out that teams are important for motorsport?? No you have not just found that out!! FM4 had teams but because the community self organised and created our own sporting content leaving you nothing but empty lobbies you put a stop to that T10!
Forza Motorsport in the future will be all inclusive and accessable to everyone?? What like 5 to 7 year olds with LEGO expansions??
