Forza Motorsport is Xbox’s simulation-focused racing series, developed by Turn 10 Studios, and it differs from its more arcade-like counterpart, Forza Horizon, which is developed by Playground Games. In 2023, Forza Motorsport saw a complete reboot that aimed to modernize the franchise, and it launched to good reviews. While praised for its visuals and refined handling, some players criticized its career mode, progression system, and lack of meaningful content at release.
Recently, Turn 10 faced layoffs as part of Microsoft’s 2025 restructuring, leading some fans to believe the Motorsport franchise had been quietly shelved in favor of prioritizing Forza Horizon, the more commercially successful half of the series.
