Forza Motorsport Specs Revealed, Including Xbox Series S Performance Targets

I'm assuming it'll be available on PC, but no mention of the minimum and recommended specification unfortunately.

Cool but we all new this already. Still waiting on that release date though

Yeah, think I will upgrade whenever this gem finally drops. Awesome news!

4K@60 with on track ray tracing. Will be very interested to see what they can achieve here.

Are there any other games that hit all 3? (4K, 60fps & RT) It sounded like the new Dead Space kinda did until they patched it out.

@Robocrop_Duster new Dead Space is only 30fps with RT I believe. 60 without.

Turn 10 are wizards along with Playground games and coalition.
Until other Xbox studios old and since being purchased produce at this level, then I will add to the list 😂

Well if the Series X has 4K60FPS and RT then it should be happy days for my PC and its nice to have an Xbox PC game finally showcasing ray tracing

Happy about 4k 60 for Series X (and the S is non too shabby either). Hope it's a solid frame rate around all the tracks.

I am still in two minds about ray tracing. On one hand it will look cool in trailers and/or replays.

In a live race I doubt I will notice as I am looking at hitting corner apexes, lines other cars are taking, my own racing line and a host of other stuff to go quicker. I very much doubt I will have time to admire car reflections on surfaces and so on while actually racing.

Are they better than Gran Turismo 7??? That’s very good, i’m hoping this can at least match it.

@BBB that’s wat i like about Forza Horizon. Ya get to have a stress free drive between races. Then ya could admire ray tracing in game.

@Kaloudz They did... but they never singled out Series S, always bundled it as X|S. Obviously from MS you'd expect it to cover both, but it's always a bit up in the air until they acknowledge both consoles separately.

@jordan1992 Gran Turismo 7s cars don't even match up with Horizons, it also has that clinical look. Which I like but it's not realistic. GT7 does a lot right, the handling on a controller is 10/10, the track selection is a 9/10, the Pitstops are a good addition and work well (but could be improved) 7/10, the wet weather racing is solid - however I would rate that at a 6/10 as the weather effects are garbage and it doesnt feature on every track. The time trials are superb so too the licences 10/10. The scapes mode and graphic import tools are sublime 10/10. The lighting at the night Is brilliant but looks weird in the day (strange lights off cars) 8/10.

On to the bad stuff and GT7 doesn't have a tyre simulation so if you are all in the same car driving similar lines regardless of how smooth - you pit at the same time to swap them out. The offside graphics are terrible, the music selection is well its definitely something, thd games framerate sinks on certain tracks, the career mode is the same type of race throughout with no qualifying. The music races are pointless. The grind for cars Is ridiculous and the dirt racing isn't realistic.

To summarise, GT7 is THE best road driving simulation so far. However its not a good game. If you are into daily online racing and time trialling, taking shots of your bespoke car in the world greatest locations - its a blast. For single players who are in it for a laugh, it's not good.

Hopefully the new Forza does everything better with the same level of control.

@Fenbops yes but before it was patched the Ray Tracing mode was hitting FPS around 47 to 59 per second. After the patch they locked that mode to 30fps.

@Robocrop_Duster Dead Space doesn’t have ray traced reflections though, just RTAO. Ray Traced reflections would have tanked performance further. They’re saying forza has on track ray traced reflections at 60fps, I’m very interested to see if and how they can hit that on a console.
