#forza is a #racing #video #game #series for #Xbox consoles and Microsoft Windows published by Xbox Game Studios.
The franchise is primarily divided into two ongoing titles. The original #Forza Motorsport series developed by American developer Turn 10 Studios focuses on primarily simulation racing around a variety of both real and fictional tracks, and seeks to emulate the performance and handling characteristics of many real-life production, modified, and racing cars. The Forza Horizon series developed by British developer Playground Games features more #arcade-style racing while maintaining a toned down version of Motorsport's simulation physics. Horizon revolves around a music festival called the "Horizon Festival" and features open world environments set in fictional representations of real-world areas in which players may freely roam and participate in racing events.
Apart from #Motorsport and #Horizon, #Forza has also seen two mobile and computer free-to-play spin-offs; #Forza #Street (2019–2022), a drag racing-style game set in Miami, and Forza Customs (2023), a tile-matching video game based on car customization. Both spin-offs were initially released as independent games before being rebranded as Forza titles.
The franchise has sold 16 million copies as of December 2016 and has garnered critical acclaim.
