Xbox has finally revealed two massive Forza Motorsport updates, and yes, the game is coming out this year. 

After spending four years in the gaming markets, Xbox and Turn 10 studios pushed Forza Motorsport 7 into the vault. Apparently, the franchise had its reasons, and announced to discontinue the game on September 15, 2021.
