The eighth Forza Motorsport--simply titled Forza Motorsport, rather than Forza Motorsport 8--is coming out in Spring 2023. It's been in development for years by Turn 10, which considers this upcoming Forza Motorsport a reboot of the series--a change in fortune for the franchise, which makes sense, considering FM7's lackluster reception.

Motorsport differs from its popular franchise sibling, Forza Horizon--the more loose, arcade-style racing game--by featuring cars on closed-circuit race tracks instead of an open-world setting. Here's everything we know about the eighth Forza Motorsport.

Release date

Forza Motorsport will be released in Spring 2023. It's the first game in the sub-series since 2017's Forza Motorsport 7, a period which saw the release of two Forza Horizon games and the now-shuttered Forza Street mobile game. A more specific release date has not yet been confirmed, but it's a return to the launch window of earlier games in the series, as more recent Motorsport entries have been released during the fall.
