Over the last couple of months we've finally seen a little bit more on what Turn 10 is cooking up with Forza Motorsport, although the team hasn't shown off much in the way of direct ray tracing footage. Well, thanks to a new leak we've got a fresh look at the game's new RT technology in all its glory, and it's looking mighty impressive.
Through some sort of internal testing/QA leak, three new screenshots from Forza Motorsport have appeared online, including a lovely garage shot showcasing some gorgeous ray traced reflections. You can check the screens out down below:
Twitter's image compression doesn't help on the quality front, but these still look great and are making us even more excited to go hands on with the game this October. If you want to see the shots in a bit better quality, a GTPlanet forum post also has the goods at the time of writing.
After six long years, Forza's 'Motorsport' series returns on October 10th, and although lots of the Xbox hype right now is focused on Starfield, we remain eager to see what Turn 10 will deliver later this year.
What do you think to these leaked Forza Motorsport screens? Let us know down below.

I'm being left a bit disappointed with the visuals since the reveal of the gameplay in June. What's been shown/leaked so far does not look as good as GT7 which is a little disappointing considering it's releasing 1.5 years later and is an only next gen release.
Let's see how it is in the final game but initial impressions of the visuals isn't inspiring.
I’m really curious how this will compare to GT7. I’ve been thinking about rebuying that one, but was left a bit disappointed by the length of the single player campaign last time. I hope FM will be a solid alternative.
Forza Motorsport is the game I've been waiting for for the Xbox Series consoles. I'm not that much into open world games such as Starfield. I do agree with the comment on Forza not looking good as GT7 on PS5. But I still can't wait for Forza to come out. If Ray Tracing can be done well, I guess that should make up for the visuals!
I'm surprised at the lack of info on this and expected we would have seen a lot more by now.
I'd agree with the other comments that's so far GT7 is a better looking game, and has more courses too, BUT, the game is not in our hands yet and there's a good chance that once it is we will be better able to see what this game can do. I have faith, they have never delivered a bad game yet and I don't expect them to now. Even if the finished article doesn't quite match its competitor, it going to offer lots of exciting action for us petrol heads, and I'm very keen on getting my hands on it.
@BBB That's the vibe I'm getting, focus is on Starfield
So they made it online only just to release a game that looks visually and technically inferior to GT7 that came out yast year? Though in fairness, GT7 does suffer from the always online, limiting you extremely on see what you can do offline.
I wondering if it will even support a steering wheel properly since Horizon doesn't and won't feed info to the tach.
I have to echo other people's comments here, the initial reveal looked really good overall, but in retrospect it was a bit "bullshot"y.
Since then the actual in game footage looks a bit underwhelming. GT7 like all Gran Turismos can look a bit clinical, but at its best is an incredible looking game.
Hopefully this new Forza looks good enough at least, and crucially - has good physics and content.
@InterceptorAlpha Forget about the tachometer, it would at least be nice to have an in game wheel that turns more than 90 degrees
Looking forward to this game, as I prefer track racers over throw everything at you horizon.
Bit disappointed with how little gameplay info/vids seem to be out there. I’m not interested in how much more shiny it is, it’s current Gen only so shinier is a given imo.
@Raffles Lol. Where I use a wheel I don't even see the in game steering wheel. But that would be nice as well. Before I had a wheel I just brushed it off as EVERY SINGLE VEHICLE(😂) having modified steering ratios.
I must be blind because I think the demos look incredible. Why are people constantly complaining.
@cburg Twitter. Social media has ruined gaming and fanboys on both sides are ultra-sensitive about every exclusive, only worried if it “one ups” the competition for their own bragging rights.
@cburg
At least we can be blind together! Looks extremely good to me and I'm really looking forward to it!
@TheGrizMan
Spot on. Some of the posts on social media are ridiculous. They will take every opportunity to show why PS/Xbox is a failure and no matter how many times they are told otherwise, they continue to believe their nonsense.
@BRT15 GT7 has some dodgy visuals too on many tracks I've seen, like the cars are floating etc.
@Titntin I assumed you missed the walkthrough they did, they've released quite a lot already.
Game looks great. Got my wheel set up done and been practicing on FH5 and F12022. Looking forward to this over starfield.
@Ep_13 I thought I'd caught them all, but I'll check again!
Do you not think its gone rather quite considering this is a game we've been waiting on for a while? I was hoping on more details and a better understanding of what will be delivered, but I guess that's irrelevant to me as I'm definitely 'in' anyway
As I previously stated, you can count on Playground to deliver a great game and I have no reason to doubt that will be the case here, but I didnt think this close to the launch we would be picking over unreleased screen shots in a twitter post to get a better look.
I'm still excited for this title - much as I like GT7, I'm keen on playing a sim game with compelling visuals that progresses differently and this has to be it! I have a Xim nexus so I can motion steer with it - I'm too cheep to get a wheel
@BRT15 GT7 looks like a PS3 game, its so bad its not funny but the biased media still gave it good reviews 'because its GT'
All I hope for is they have done something that will ban the car rammers in the game. It's absolutely horrible, especially at start of any race.
I NEVER play forza online for that very reason. No excuse for that type behavior.
Oh God! Was away from PureXbox for a couple of weeks and looks like the same plague that struck the comments section at PushSquare last year has made its way here with some absolutely ludicrous fanboy daftness. Oh well unto the next...
@cburg Because that is what gamers do today. Complain. Nonstop.
Just look the 60 fps wannabe hipsters. If less than 60 fps, they "can't play it" cause makes their skulls bleed or such. Yet those same players are the one that played Mario party 8 hours a day, every day in middle school at like 20-30 fps.
This generation of gamers are so spoiled and need have their handheld to get by. Just look at achievements or trophies in games. There are fair share of gamers that won't play a game if not have enough of those to get. Like really? They really need to have a virtual sticker equivalent to being a kid going to dentist and walking out with "you're a good boy" sticker?
It's pretty weak and incredibly juvenile with gamers today.

Im not sure that you are aware of the difference between tv technologies that determine how much frame rate might affect someone? Older games were played on CRTs, and their high persistance phosphors meant it was much easier to enjoy and play low fps games compared to today's tech. Even today, those that have lcd tvs are more likely to have no issue with 30 fps as those pixels also have some persistance and dont turn off immediately. Oled however, has virtually no persistance at all, so lower frame rates are more noticeable for some.
Im in a room with an lcd and also an oled tv, both with mutiple games machines attached. Im happy to play games at 30fps on the lcd, but I do notice its less comfortable playing the same game on the oled.
I do agree some people appear to simply use it as a soapbox issue, and I have a lot of sympathy for your views on modern gamers!
But I did want to share my thoughts on the technologies and how that feeds into the issue, mainly in the hope that this is helpful.
Hoping the career mode in substantially robust in this one, since I liked the older Forza's but want a career mode that will keep me around.
I'm trying to figure out why it took Gran Turismo 7, 3 years longer to come out and it looks far worse than Forza?
Seems to be some weird obession of trying to compare it to GT7 which is driven by social media trolls/fanboys. I'm sure Forza MS will turn out great in it's own way when it is actually in players hands.
Some people would have you think it's a crime to enjoy racing games on different platforms. I feel sorry for them.
Good to see the usual Sony fanboys out in force like clockwork😅, claiming that FM looks worse than GT7. I guess some things never change...
@nickwpearce Sure, just like a PS3 game.

@Sol4ris I couldn't be any less of a Sony fanboy - I don't have a PS4 or PS5. The most recent Sony console I got was a PS3, and I much preferred my 360.
Not only that but I'm a huge fan of the SeriesX, and consider it kind of the ultimate home console.
This is a simple case of GT7 vs the new Forza Motorsport, and objectively I can see GT7 looks much better. Tbh it's literally the only game that makes buying a PS5 remotely tempting.
Again, I am really looking forward to playing the new FM and I hope it's legit, but visually the actual gameplay footage seems a bit underwhelming compared to the beauty shots and initial reveal footage.
@Raffles

And I can objectively see that not to be the case.....but alas.
@Sol4ris We'll see when it's released. I actually hope you're right, as I don't have a PS5, and I do have a SeriesX and GP.
But those screenshots above aren't exactly filling me with confidence, even factoring in the obvious quality of the captures and compression artifacts. Same for recent actual gameplay footage, ie not trailer footage.
FWIW I still think Forza Horizon 4 is the best looking racing game, better than GT7.
Hmm, I don’t see how people think GT7 is better looking. I own it and honestly was disappointed in its graphics. To me, from what I’ve seen so far, this has the edge but to each their own.
In any case GT7 was a disappointment all around. Worst GT game in years so really looking forward to this!
@GuyinPA75 Wanting 60Hz to be the standard is not unreasonable. The PS2 had many games with this. Ever since then, developers have prioritised resolution, and console-gamers have been patiently waiting for 60Hz to come back to the fore. So it's little wonder that some are annoyed that 30Hz is still prevalent 17 years later.
It looks fine..... Still doesn't impress me that much. Is it better than FM7 in looks sure.
If structure/rest of the career progression, RPG systems, upgrades, car access (is still candy) tracks, menus and unlocks are a hassle couldn't care less what the game looks like when the rest matters more to lessen the experience.
@Raffles I was exaggerating of course, but it in NO WAY looks better than an OPEN world racer let alone a racing simulator
@BBB I was exaggerating of course, but it in NO WAY looks better than an OPEN world racer in FH3/4/5 let alone a racing simulator.
Honestly i was kinda expecting more, but still keen to check it out.
The cars in GT7 look good, but everything else is so dated... especially the crash physics damn they can be horrendous at times
I'm actually disappointed with the number of tracks. Six years waiting for just 20 locations? GT7 launched with 34 locations. My only hope is that they will add more later, although not free as GT7, but high priced DLC.
@nickwpearce
Tbh I haven't even played GT7, so I couldn't tell you how good it looks or plays in reality. And I do agree that physics in GT historically are a bit on the stiff and janky side, and IMHO not really that sim like. I think the Forza Series and Assetto Corsa both have significantly better physics.
But just from videos and screenshots of GT7 - even though it can look a bit clinical at times like all Gran Turismos - at its best it is a very attractive game, and at a glance can look strikingly real. As Forza Horizon 4 always did, especially at max settings.
Regarding this game, all I can say is visually it appears to be underwhelming. It should still be an excellent game though, I do fully expect the physics to be better than GT7.
What I really hope for is the drift physics to be legit, hopefully as close to Assetto Corsa as possible
@TheGrizMan placing disappointment over the visuals shown so far on Twitter and fanboys removes all responsibility on how MS and turn 10, and as a result…media, have placed great emphasis on this games visuals
Xbox have set the target and will have dug their own grave if this game comes out looking as underwhelming as those screen shots and the actual gameplay we’ve seen suggest
@Thumper Being annoyed and being crybaby, entitled, hipsters something completely different. I believe the latter is more the issue than anything else. Just way society is today. The internet and social media is more of a poison than benefit.
@Titntin I understand what you are saying. But the crybaby hipsters just make the whole conversation nauseating beyond all comprehension. For the legit people with legit reasons, they should be taking it up with the television manufacturers instead of video game developers. If you're paying chunk of change on a television and it can not handle basic technology from yesterday that's a real problem. I'm not being a jerk and am very sympathetic to those reasons. Majority of time when developers "force" a patch to have games to upscale 60 fps it's a mess and noticeable, which I just turn off and play 30 fps. Same thing with head bob while running in games. If there is no option to turn that off, I'm not going to play that game. Fallout 76 is excellent example of both those issues to me.
