At the last Xbox and Bethesda Developer Direct, we saw gameplay for the next chapter in the Forza Motorsport franchise, which will be available exclusively through the cloud services of Xbox Game Pass on Xbox One consoles.
With the ray tracing capabilities of Microsoft’s flagship console, the next racing sim is said to perform at 4K 60FPS on the Xbox Series X with outstanding photorealistic images. In November 2023, the Xbox One will be a decade old, making it a venerable old game console.
Even a decade after its release, the Xbox One still receives occasional new titles, but most studios have moved on to producing next-gen games. It’s essential to put the new Forza Motorsport in context, as Forza Motorsport 5 was an Xbox One launch title.
Only with Xbox Cloud Gaming, part of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, will the next Forza Motorsport game be playable on Xbox One. Fans of Microsoft’s popular racing game may be dismayed by this news, as the Xbox Cloud Gaming service requires a constant, high-speed internet connection and is only offered in a small number of countries.
And that's a wrap on #DeveloperDirect. Thank you for watching!

Not all hope is lost for Microsoft’s Xbox One as 2023 begins; there will still be plenty of games for fans to enjoy if they want to hold off on switching to next-gen consoles. The new Forza Motorsport was only revealed for Xbox Series X/S and PC, and its hefty system requirements mean the Xbox One won’t be able to run it without significant emulation.
