Forgive me if I am wrong but, does it even need to? Now that the XB1 can cloud stream XSX games and with the power of game pass in Microsofts arsenal, players on last gen could just cloud stream it direct from their XB1. I mean, I play to do it this way maybe in the future so I can play primarily on PC then switch living room and stream it that way. Unlike GT7 I think MS have a unique opportunity to NOT support last gen whilst still allowing players on XB1 to play it, albeit via cloud, for free, via game pass.

And don't forget that you can actually buy an XBOX Series S without any issue, unlike XBOX Series X and PS5.
If you want to play Forza Motorsport 8, it's simple, buy an XBOX Series S, which is the cheapest option and most likely the only XBOX available for sale at the moment. No reason to keep supporting last gen.

Wow, they're making the same mistake as GT7!

This xbox one ver, from what I've read from people on reddit and resetera, this build was actually a test from last year's playtest back in 2021. If I remember correctly, it was for testing only multiplayer I believe. Many have said that just because it was tested on XB1, doesn't guarantee it will release on there (unless MS saids otherwise). It's still on the course for Series X/S and PC only.

For reference, I also don't, which is why the article is... more than a little equivocal about it.
I can think of several explanations for why "FM'8' gameplay shot on XB1" could exist without "FM'8' will be on XB1" being the inevitable conlusion - and I'm not entirely as convinced as the subreddit moderators that what we are seeing is what the post said.
However, a bunch of mainstream outlets are covering this now and we figured it would be worth covering in a slightly more reasonable manner, and explain what the rationale behind and consequences of a decision to have an XB1 version would be... if there indeed is one. Which is not a foregone conclusion.
Plus it gives us a chance to whip out "GT7 was PS5 exclusive right up until it wasn't" again.

I'm not saying it's wrong to post such a article, though more so me saying this was a test put on XB1 to test out features. Cheers. 😉

On no, not GTPlanet perpetuating this rumor too.
This is why NDAs exist. People shouldn't be putting out information about pre-release software, over a year before release, which will heavily affect people's expectations, while likely having nothing to do with the final released game. It messes with people's expectations all because of a test.
At least this article doesn't claim it's confirmed, as many do, but it's still annoying. People won't stop talking about an Xbox One release and how disastrous it will be for the game now.
Turn 10 needs to wake up and set this straight. It's getting out of hand.

If T10 does end up dumping FM Next onto XB1 then its really gonna hold back its true potential. We should really be in the window for the "true next gen" of games to start appearing without continuing to obsess over catering to last gen too.

If any version is running on 1x it had already been held back because the code can run on last gen hardware , unless turn ten starts from scratch to build a next gen build .. It's already not a next gen only game .. Of course you have to be stupid to think old gen versions of games hold racing games back . Game engines are scaleable , Unreal engine can run movies and games on phones. PC fanboys have perpetuated the " hold back" myth for too damn long. Also that screenshot is such a copy of GT auto LOL.

They basically are doing that. The reason the game has taken so long is that they're redoing much of the ForzaTech engine.
That doesn't mean they can get much improved physics to run on an old CPU, with 24+ (also greatly improved) AI cars running on those physics.
In what way? It's a pretty normal looking garage.
And if you mean it's a copy of GT7, the screenshot is from July 2021, and strongly resembles what we saw in the one FM trailer that was released even longer ago. Even FM7 had something fairly similar but much smaller with only one car in it.

Internal tests platform can be different to release platform. Happens often.
Devs can test and switch between different physics models during development. Example: Model A runs on Xbox One and Model B in the consumer product won't.
