The Forza franchise is one of the keystones of the Xbox brand. The series improved its popularity over the past few years and competed against big bosses, such as Need for Speed and The Crew. The game achieved creating a better open-world environment, and gamers loved it. Alongside the open-world success, the game is incredibly detailed, and the driving experience is rich. But these are achieved by the franchise’s Horizon extension, and you might not even have heard about the Forza Motorsport game. The Motorsport series released its latest game in 2021, but Xbox is already making a reboot for the series. That reboot was expected for a while, and now the bad news has arrived. Things aren’t official yet, but a trusted journalist claims that the game will be delayed. Here are the latest details about the probable delayed Forza Motorsport release date.

Forza Motorsport Release Date Might Get Delayed

The eighth Forza Motorsport game was expected to be released in the first half of the year. But game journalist Jeff Grubb states that the game is expected to be released later this year. It’s still releasing in 2023, but a few months later than we wanted. Xbox already didn’t announce the exact release date for Forza Motorsport, so they’ll likely not be sharing details on this game. Here’s a part of his statement:

“What I’m hearing—I’m feeling pretty good about this after asking around a couple of times after hearing about it the first time earlier today—it does seem like Forza is going to slip later into the year and probably won’t be the first half of the year,” he said. “The timeframe I’m hearing for Forza is like Q3, and maybe even a little bit later than that.”

This is only a rumor, so you shouldn’t take it as an official message. As the game’s release date isn’t announced on the official channels yet, Xbox might change its plans, depending on the project’s development process.
