Microsoft has sparked excitement among racing sim enthusiasts with a recent tweet that hints at a summer launch for the highly anticipated Forza Motorsport. Initially scheduled for a Spring 2023 release, the game has since been shrouded in uncertainty, with a vague 2023 release window provided during the Developer_Direct showcase earlier this year. However, the latest social media interaction has led fans to speculate that the wait could end.
Microsoft’s Game Dev Twitter account hinted at the potential summer release date, which response to a Forza-related tweet by Turn 10’s studio head Alan Hartman. The account tweeted, “Who else is ready for summer?” prompting fans to interpret this as a possible teaser for the game’s release.
With Starfield, another highly anticipated title, slated for release in September, how Microsoft strategically places Forza Motorsport in the summer release calendar remains to be seen. The upcoming Xbox Games Showcase, scheduled for just over a month from now, could provide an ideal platform for an official announcement as fans eagerly await more information on the racing sim.
Either way, anticipation builds for the Xbox Series X/S and PC racing sim. We can now look forward to the Xbox Games Showcase for possible official details on the game’s launch. In the meantime, the gaming community remains excited, as they anticipate the opportunity to put the pedal to the metal in the latest installment of the popular racing franchise.
