2023 brought much excitement among racing game lovers. After its initial announcement at Xbox Games Showcase 2020, this game is finally set to release on the 10th of October this year. Developed by Turn 10 Studios, Forza Motorsport is the thirteenth game in the main Forza franchise. Ahead of its release, fans seemed pretty excited to get their hands on the game. This game is speculated to be the next Forza Motorsport title after Forza Motorsport 7. 

Although initially, fans were pretty positive about this game, recent information about the game made them pretty upset. Following the previous game’s success, this seemed like a noticeable drawback from the developers’ end. 

No drag or drift events at the launch for the new Forza Motorsport

Fans had been waiting for Forza Motorsport 8 in anticipation since its announcement in 2020. This game was originally scheduled for release in 2020, but circumstances didn’t permit it. Although it is set for release in October, the previous team considered publishing it during spring, which didn’t happen. This increased the amount of excitement and anticipation among Forza fans about this game. 

Now a source confirmed that Forza Motorsport 8 might not have drag or drift events at launch. According to this source, Forza’s creative director confirmed the news to the fans.

Since the news hit the headlines, fans were spotted being disappointed with the team’s decision. Adding to the news, this source further added that once the base copies are shipped to the public, the developers might start working on drag and drift events. This addition seemed to anger fans even more as they didn’t expect this from the developers after such a long wait for the game.
