A big thing here is the Forza Motorsport series likely being dead for at least a while with half of Turn 10 getting laid off. That studio is probably just gonna become a Forza Horizon support studio now since FH6 is an extremely important release that I'm sure Microsoft wants to last for a really long time. Forza is known for Horizon now but it started off with Motorsport so this is one of the very original Xbox properties that got its start on the original Xbox going dormant. It makes sense though since the 2023 Forza Motorsport flopped big time. I feel like not enough people talk about just how badly that game has performed considering the series prestige. It wouldn't surprise me if it hasn't even sold one million yet considering the low amount of Steam reviews which is disastrous since it had a much longer development time than all past Motorsport entries. |
It does sound like Forza Horizon 6 is coming out next year. Along with Fable, Playground Games has a lot on their shoulders. So I agree Turn 10 is likely going to be a support studio on Forza Horizon and continue work on ForzaTech. |
I am quite excited for FH6 and hope it's notable leap over 5 being the first one not held back by the Xbox One. The Motorsport series never reached the heights of GT but it was still pretty popular during the 360 days so a reboot presumably intended to last a while and benefit from FH exploding in popularity doing this badly is rough for sim racing fans. Since I really like FH I was kinda interested in checking the Motorsport series out but with support for FM 2023 likely winding down a lot after this year not much point in getting it unless it gets a huge discount.
