Official Forza Motorsport community questions thread

On Sunday, 11 June 2023 during the Xbox Showcase we showed off a new trailer announcing the release date of 10 October 2023. Tune in on Tuesday 13 June 2023 for full walkthrough of our single player career gameplay during Forza Monthly!

We’re opening this thread to collect questions about the game leading up to game release in October. Posting your questions here will help the team plan for a future FAQ.

  • Make your question clear about the general category your question addresses (career mode or other distinct game features, for example) See this past FM7 community questions thread for format reference.
  • Absolutely no arguing or debating or griping questions or taking the thread off-topic. This is for questions for the Forza team only to indicate what information you’re most interested in.
  • Remember to use the Suggestions Hub for voting on cars and features topics so we can track what you’d like to be in the game.

Note that we will not be answering these questions in this thread this week, so you have plenty of time to wait until seeing more official information before asking a question.
