The newly revamped multiplayer in Forza Motorsport has quickly become a fan favorite, receiving high praise from players in its first week since early access. The racing standards in online races have significantly improved, with mechanics like race weekends, a penalty system, and pit strategies being introduced. Fans have universally praised these core racing mechanics for their positive impact on the multiplayer experience.
Previously, the Forza series had a poor reputation when it came to online racing, not due to technical issues but because of the low standards of racing. However, the revamped multiplayer in Forza Motorsport has changed this perception. Competitive racers who have experience playing games like iRacing and Assetto Corsa have expressed their positive surprise, calling the online multiplayer experience “phenomenal.” They have particularly appreciated the level of driving, respect, and clean racing in Forza Motorsport, which was a pleasant contrast to their expectations of the usual turn one pile-ups and crashes in the game.
Although there is skepticism about whether the improved multiplayer experience will last once the floodgates open upon the game’s official release on October 10, current players are hopeful that the positive experience will continue. Only time will tell if the influx of new players will undo the good work that Turn 10 has put into revamping the multiplayer. Overall, Forza Motorsport players are impressed with the improvements and are enjoying the revamped multiplayer experience.
