Players who opted for early access will be able to enjoy it starting October 5 at 12:01 AM local time, except for Central and Pacific Time zones in the US, where it unlocks at 11:01 and 9:01 on October 4, respectively. This leaves some ambiguity regarding the unlock time for players in Mountain Time, as the studio hasn’t provided a clear explanation.
Forza Motorsport
Forza Motorsport, unlike Forza Horizon 5, offers a more traditional racing experience on tracks rather than open terrains. Expect precision driving rather than navigating sandstorms or volcanic landscapes.
Leading up to its launch, Turn 10 made significant changes to the career mode and AI behavior. Now, AI opponents exhibit “professional driver” behavior, and players earn Car Points instead of money to unlock new vehicles.
