We were introduced to a new Forza Motorsport entry for Xbox last year, and now Turn 10 Studios has revealed that some fans will be able to access a playtest "soon", with more playtests to come in the months ahead.
In a recent Forza Monthly stream, the game's creative director, Chris Esaki, announced that fans will be able to flight "a part" of the game in the near future. Up until now, the game has been playtested within Xbox Game Studios, but now the developer wants to bring that opportunity to the community.
To get the chance to try out Forza Motorsport ahead of everyone else, you will need to sign up for Forza Panel, which is a community feedback service where fans can have their say on the series going forward. There's no exact date for when fans will start being invited to test the game, but we recommend signing up now to be ready.
It seems the game is following a similar setup to Halo Infinite, which will also has plans to begin flighting this year, giving players a chance to test out the game ahead of launch. It's a great way for the community to get involved in moulding the game, delivering their own thoughts and opinions, so this is definitely welcomed.
Will you be signing up to playtest Forza Motorsport? Let us know in the comments below.

Maybe this game is further along than expected?
The rumours suggested Horizon 5 for this year and Motorsport for next year...
Interesting, looks like Halo Insider was so successful that it inspired other parts of Xbox Game Studios to do the same for other franchises.
@Grumblevolcano That’s the beauty of agile and iterative development.
@Grumblevolcano What's this about halo insider? Never heard about that.
Cool, just signed up. Look forward to seeing what they do with the series next!
@Cherip-the-Ripper Back in October 2017, the MCC Insider Program was announced as a way to fix the very broken at the time MCC via getting the community involved. From April 2018 onwards 343 worked with the community to identify and fix a lot of bugs with the collection.
A big patch was released for MCC in September 2018 which fixed a lot of stuff thanks to the MCC Insider Program and resulted in that type of playtesting being introduced for future Halo content and a rebranding to Halo Insider when new content and platforms were announced for MCC in March 2019.
The rebranded Halo Insider so far has playtested MCC on PC, Halo Reach on the XB1 version of MCC as well as new features for MCC such as crossplay, the upcoming new Halo 3 maps and the custom game browser.
Thanks to Infinite being delayed to 2021 there will be opportunities pre-launch for Halo Insider members to playtest Infinite so the game is in a better shape when it launches.
@Grumblevolcano Microsoft has done this for way longer than this. I worked on similar projects back in the later days of the original Xbox and through the entire 360 days.
During the 360 you could actually sign up to test the Kinect and they sent you a retail unit to keep.
