Forza Series

2016 is drawing to a close. For some, it’s a time to reflect on the last twelve months. For the entertainment industries, it means awards season. We understand — we’ve even got our own GTPlanet Awards coming up — and for gaming, one of the bigger events of the year is the imaginatively-named Game Awards.

Yesterday saw the third car expansion land in Forza Horizon 3. It brought seven new cars, ranging from the big bruiser you see above to the small and suitably strange Morgan 3 Wheeler.

With just nine days remaining until the release of the first expansion for Forza Horizon 3, new images have begun to surface giving players a better idea of what’s in store for them when Blizzard Mountain arrives on December 13.

Winter has arrived. The first expansion for Forza Horizon 3 is shaping up to be a challenging wintry adventure, and Blizzard Mountain demands participants bring their very best — including warm clothing and snow tires.

It looks like someone at Playground Games has once again let the cat (or is it pig?) out of the bag. After a brief glimpse of what appeared to be a 911 GT3 4.0 RS during E3 2016, the brand has once again been spotted, this time within Forza Horizon 3’s menus.

The third and final Showdown event of ForzaRC Season 2 is about to kick off. Last week’s bahn-storming RS6 Avants are traded in for something altogether faster, as the 16 racers will be piloting Audi’s fearsome R18 e-tron.

After last week’s Thanksgiving inspired events, Forzathon turns it’s eye to giving you some more cash to spend on the 300+ cars in-game, as well as a 30% discount on every one of them. This week’s events are as easy as they come and you won’t have to worry about finding a game of Infected or hoping those in online adventure choose a class that isn’t based around hypercars — all events can be done without the multiplayer aspect of the game.

The strapping Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat has become the subject of another audio evaluation in GT Sport. Carried out by MotoGamesTV once more, the footage puts together GT Sport’s latest direct-capture audio sample of the car against the one found in Forza Motorsport 6.

After an exciting Audi RS6 showdown, the racing keeps getting more intense in the Forza Racing Championship. Drivers this week will be treated to some high speed fun in both the Elite and Recreational categories. The stars of the track this week will be the Audi #2 Audi Team Joest R18 e-tron quattro for Elite-class drivers and the Audi RS5 Coupe for those participating in the Recreational Series.

Americans are gearing up for Thanksgiving next week. Thanks to a certain consumer-oriented event that also takes place on the last weekend of November, Playground Games is kicking off the holiday celebrations a week early in Forza Horizon 3.

The launch of the Xbox One S has been a resounding success for Microsoft. In the UK, the console has outsold the PS4 for the past 4 months despite Sony’s stronghold on the home console market. Had your eye on the HDR-ready Xbox revision? A promotion between Forza Horizon 3 and Amazon’s The Grand Tour may be able to help if you live in the US of A.

In case you couldn’t tell from the headline and featured photo, this weekend’s round of Forza Horizon 3 Forzathon challenges encourage drivers to do one thing: log some flight time.

It would not be the end of a calendar year without the proverbial “best of” lists; and, lo and behold, one such list has emerged with a contender from the racing genre in the mix.

So, you have a PC and are unsure if Forza Horizon 3’s open-world automotive adventure across Australia is the kind of game for you? Good news: a free demo has finally arrived!

The Forza Racing Championship started its second season last month in the open-world arcade racer that is Horizon 3. This week, the competition returns to Turn 10’s sim-oriented Motorsport title, offering players the first challenge that could lead to one lucky person finishing the year off $10,000 USD richer.

Talk about being blind-sided: Turn 10’s Brian Ekberg has made it clear that racers with Windows 10 PC’s have more to look forward to with Forza Motorsport 6 Apex released earlier this year.
