Forza Motorsport 8 will not have the Spectate Mode and AI competitors at launch. As Chris has explained, the players are going to have a featured Multiplayer event which doesn’t align with having Spectate Mode. And having AI competitors can affect the gameplay in terms of safety rating. Apart from these, he also mentioned the absence of the Split screen feature – “Our heavy investment in pushing our new graphical features and our complete overhaul of the rendering engine made split screen really difficult to implement…”

Fans’s Reaction on Chris’s Revelation
After this huge revelation, Forza Motorsport players are anticipating multiple ideas about the upcoming series. While some fans already predicted these changes, some fans have praised Chris Esaki for his wise choice of in-game techniques. A fan here seems to be really excited about the race tracks in Forza Motorsport 8.
I enjoy driving this car and am really glad the fictional circuits are actual race tracks this time around and not just a pretty sky box

Anyway, not everyone is happy with the details Chris has revealed! A user named @dreampagex seems to be really upset.
The fact that you filled up the game with short, non-existing, fictional tracks shows how poor content will be at launch. You simply didn't have time or resources to scan real circuits. Also, the color palette is appalling, everything is yellow and brown. What a letdown.

Apart from positive and negative thoughts, this recent revelation has triggered some important questions among players. @roastincoffee seems to ask here about the inclusion of AI in private races of Forza Motorsport.
