[h3]Forza is at Gamescom[/h3]
We are thrilled to be on the floor at Gamescom 2024 with a sneak peek of what we’ve got in store for Forza Motorsport—and it’s all coming next month!

The court and the road come together for the Jordan Luka 3 collab in Forza.

Check out the custom Luka 3 ‘Motorsport’ inspired 1969 Chevrolet Camaro coming to you this September on Forza Motorsport. Redeem it through the Gifts Tab in your Message Center.


In addition to the custom Camaro, Forza Motorsport players will be able to unlock the Jordan Luka 3 Racing Suit by completing the 5 events in the Jordan Luka 3 Motorsport Series!

We’ve made backend changes to Forza Motorsport based on community feedback on Xbox Series X|S and PC.

We’ve adjusted:

1. The scheduling cadence of Featured Multiplayer by increasing practice lengths for Endurance Races to 40 minutes and Long Race to 25 minutes. This is done to reduce the number of active races that overlap to mitigate some lobby size issues.
   
2. Tire wear; this hotfix will also reduce Open Class Multi-Class & Long Race tire wear from 6x to 4x for more impactful tire strategies.
   

The changes will be in effect upon restart of the game with no download necessary.

Thanks to all Forza Motorsport players for your continued support and feedback.

[h3]Logitech TRUEFORCE is now available in Forza Motorsport, and we are celebrating with a big giveaway!
