Forza Motorsport 8 Leak Shows Potential Xbox One Release

Images for the Forza Motorsport reboot have reportedly leaked online, and it may reveal the game is also coming to Xbox One in contrast to what was previously reported.

It might be easy to forget that the next Forza Motorsport was first revealed back in 2020. After all, ever since its initial reveal trailer, updates on the 8th mainline entry have been practically non-existent.

In fact, not to be confused with Forza Horizon, it’s been nearly five years since the last game was released with Forza Motorsport 7 in 2017. To be perfectly honest, as much as I love this series, I had totally forgotten that a new game was even on the way.

However, if this recent leak is anything to go by, Forza Motorsport is still a thing, and its next release is perhaps near. According to a Reddit post, the leaked images in question are said to be from the Xbox One version of the game taken from a July build.

Will the next Forza be cross-gen?

While it’s assumed that the next Forza Motorsport will be cross-gen, at this time, exact platforms haven’t been confirmed. However, Phil Spencer has previously suggested that it will be a new-gen title, only. So a PC and Xbox Series X|S release is pretty much a sure-fire bet.

Furthermore, back in April 2022, industry insider, Jez Corden claimed that the next Forza Motorsport is currently in its beta phase and believes that some “influencers” have already gone hands-on with the racer.

As always, we must take all unconfirmed rumours with a pinch of salt. That being said, if the next Forza Motorsport is currently in its beta phase, perhaps an official announcement is just around the corner.
