Forza Motorsport PC requirements: Minimum & recommended specs
Can your PC run the 1990 Ferrari 641?
The rebooted Forza Motorsport is releasing today (10th October 2023) - and if you're anything like us, you'll be racing (pun intended) out to grab a copy.
Of course, it's an exclusive to both Xbox and PC (PlayStation has Gran Turismo, after all), but this is the first Forza to be exclusive to current gen.
This means it's not available on Xbox One. While this is a blow to those who don't yet own an Xbox Series, it's also a testament to how glorious the game looks. A racing sim this pretty requires some powerful hardware.
So, what does this mean for the PC release? Let's take a look at both the required and recommended specs for Forza Motorsport.
