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.

Minimum requirements for Forza Motorsport on PC

To begin with, let's look at the minimum specs. The game might not look its best with these, but at least you'll be able to play it:

And now for the recommended specs. With these, you'll be experiencing the amazing visuals of Forza Motorsport the way the devs intended. And believe us, it's one of the most visually impressive racers of all time. You'll need the following:

  • CPU - Intel i5-11600k/Ryzen 5 5600X
