Gameplay
Forza Motorsport is a sim racing video game. At launch, Forza Motorsport is projected to have more than 500 vehicles and 800 upgrades, as well as 20 newly built tracks. Approximately 80 vehicles from all eras and racing vehicle kinds are among the vehicles that have been announced so far. While over 100 of these will be new to the series, many of them will be returning from earlier Forza Motorsport games.
Forza Motorsport will include elements such as ray tracing in real-time on the track, tire wear, dynamic time of day, damage model changes with better-defined damage, paint chipping and dirt buildup. There will be other effects, such as "animated track life", "physically based lighting and volumetric fog effects", and "a fully procedural cloud system". The game also includes a single-player career mode and several online multiplayer modes. At launch, Forza Motorsport will have four DLC packs for players.
