The full release of Forza Motorsport from Turn 10 Studios took place yesterday, October 10, 2023. Before that, the game for five days was available only to owners of Premium editions. Currently, the game receives "Mixed reviews" In Steam.
On the release day, the maximum online Forza Motorsport on Steam was 4703 people. At the time of writing, he has already begun to decline. This result is not too high, but it is possible that many preferred to play the game through Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass.
The players have already decided to share their reviews on Steam, and at the moment only 45% of them are happy with the game.
Some users note that although the races themselves are not disappointed, there are serious problems with the smoothness of the gameplay even on very powerful PCs, and in terms of graphics the latter Forza is not impressive.
Performance at 8700K + RTX4070 is unstable with a resolution of 1440p. When playing with an unlocked frequency of frames on ultra and high settings, I can get FPS in the region of 80, but this is accompanied by regular falls by about 20 FPS. Another disappointment was the appearance of the game, which, frankly, does not please even in the highest settings, and there is not enough sharpness at all, no matter what you configure.
The current version of the game is poorly optimized, so most PC users have difficulties with the smooth process of gameplay. Many graphic settings simply do not work. On my 6800XT I could not start FSR. I could not even change the resolution from 1440p to 1080p. To change the settings requires a reboot. With each reboot, the game will transplant shaders within 5 minutes. For 35 hours of the game, I had about 20-30 failures and 2 bsod.
I like the game, but optimization is just terrible. I barely withstand 60 frames, and I had to lower the settings to 1080p, when I can play Horizon 5 in 4K Ultra by 3070. In addition, there are a lot of racing cars in the game, but they are not used in the events of a single career. A single career requires a lot of additional opportunities.
These are only some of the many reviews in which players complain about the optimization of the game.
