Yes, Starfield is an incredibly high-profile Xbox launch happening as we speak, but lets not forget about another huge pillar in Microsoft's 2023 lineup - the Forza Motorsport reboot. The upcoming racing sim launches in early October, but it looks like we're going to get a good feel for the game well before that via some early hands-on impressions.
Certain content creators are starting to tease upcoming Forza Motorsport previews, with the embargo date for these impressions seemingly set at September 11th. That's well before the game's early access launch, which speeds onto Xbox and PC on October 5th, before the Game Pass launch crosses the finish line on October 10th.
Now, we're not entirely sure how much of the game will have been accessible for these hands-on sessions, but given we're very, very close to launch at this point, we're hoping a good chunk of the game has been provided for this upcoming round of previews.
It looks like things are coming along quite nicely over at Turn 10 Studios as we near launch. Recent gameplay footage coming out of Gamescom 2023 looked super impressive - lets hope that translates to the full experience on Xbox Game Pass this October.
Will you be checking out these Forza previews? Don't forget that this huge Xbox exclusive is right around the corner as well!

Another game ready to go on my game pass.
I’m more a Forza Horizon type but will definitely be trying this.
It looks beautiful. What a truly brilliant year this has been for gaming.
Gosh I am glad that I came back to gaming this year! 2023 has been great and I only started getting into Forza…
@Moonglow I don't think CoD will ever be free on day 1 (or 5) gamepass without a hefty upgrade package like starfield. I have a hunch CoD won't hit gamepass for a month or longer in the years following the closing of the deal.
@Moonglow I have never once read that they will have ABK games day 1 from MS as their narrative. I've read that from many gamers - never MS. With the recent 5 day pre-release of starfielf I believe that is even more of a reality.
I was thinking of a smooth way to stick it to sony - from a contract perspective. They said they'd give Sony CoD for 10 years right? Did they ever say there would be a new one every year? Did they ever say they wouldn't make the game more GaaS - with the Xbox getting the lionshare of extra content?
You take away Sony's yearly 30% from the millions of CoD's sold...that's a big hit to the pocketbook.
As is fair in war.
Microsoft needs to in the future, stagger their big releases better than they do at the moment.
@Cashews I've also been contemplating how MS/Xbox could get around Day One CoD in Game Pass. That is a massive chunk of profits to gamble; CoD projected sales factored heavily into the $75 billion price tag.
