As one of the morehotly anticipated games of 2023, a lot has been riding on the newForza Motorsport. A soft reboot for the long-lasting franchise, it has taken a whopping six years for the developer Turn 10 to push out a new entry. While this would usually be cause for celebration, things aren’t looking great as it currently stands, with an impressive list of known issues inForza Motorsportfor Turn 10 to acknowledge and resolve.
On day one of the game’s release, Turn 10 published acomprehensive list of known issues inForza Motorsport, counting dozens of problems big and small. This, of course, isn’t a problem in and of itself, but the sheer number of bugs on show is rather impressive.
It does get worse, too. On top of backend bugs, balancing issues, and performance problems,Forza Motorsportalso suffers from a whole array of visual problems. Community members have been reportingextremely muddy texturesand instances of car cockpits loading only partially, for example, but there may well be bigger fish for Turn 10 to fry. More specifically,Forza Motorsportcan look remarkably unflattering at times, and no one knows yet whether that’s the intended effect or not.
Forza Motorsport releases in a rough state
On a technical level,Forza Motorsportdoes indeed deliver the sort of experience that racing game fans have come to know and expect out of the franchise. It’s a highly technical and engaging racer that feels appropriately similar toits wackier cousin,Forza Horizon 5, all the while being more serious and grounded. The fact thatMotorsportcomes with such a massive list of bugs on day one, though, has left a bad taste for some.
Some of the most egregious examples include the following:
Again, these are just some of the highlights from the full list of known issues inForza Motorsport, as outlined by Turn 10. Further still, it appears unlikely that Turn 10 has identified all ofForza Motorsport‘s bugs at this time. On Reddit,players are reporting issuesthat haven’t yet been added to the official list. In other words, as bad as the official list looks, it likely should be a fair bit longer still.
It’s a rough day forForza Motorsport, then, and Turn 10 has a long road ahead of it.
