So those are our sim racer picks for 2023. Not relevant now but definitely worth keeping on the radar. We don't know anything about it, only that the devs are reasonably aware of fan expectations for the game, as a follow-up to what came before. It's officially on the way, albeit for a release no earlier than 2024 by our rough estimations. It's a long way out – years perhaps – but the first signs of life in terms of a sequel to the beloved Kunoz-developed sim racer are there. Forza promises more of the same, when it eventually arrives.
GT promised and delivered stunning graphics, an engrossing career, good physics and GT nostalgia and has received superb DLC, patches and updates over the last year. More to the point, there are brand spanking new entries in both of these franchises – one out for a year now in the excellent Gran Turismo 7 and one coming soon in the Forza reboot. Everyone started out on one of them, at least in the last decade, so cut ‘em some slack. Alongside Gran Turismo, it's the AAA entry point into a world that gets ever-more niche the deeper you go. Though the seasoned sim racers will scoff, the Forza Motorsport franchise has their place.
