Xbox: "Today, we’re excited to share a major milestone – as of December 2016, the Forza franchise has exceeded $1 billion in retail sales."
Turn 10 has revealed that the Nurburgring Nordschleife will be coming to Forza Motorsport a little sooner than expected, arriving in Update 5 in February.
Originally slated for its debut on the title in Spring 2024, it seems that the team has completed the track more quickly than anticipated.
Forza Motorsport update 3.0 is here!
Forza Motorsport's new update adds a wealth of new content, but none of its new championships are actually staying in the game.
And that's a big reason why I've shelved the game already. I'm doing this FOMO crap with them anymore.
I wonder if Turn 10's spent so many years building systems (rebooting Motorsport, upgrading their engine, assisting Playground on Horizon, retooling the upgraded engine to support an RPG like Fable) that they've forgotten how to build a fun gameplay loop around those systems.
To reference DF's Forza vs GT video, ignoring the aesthetics and visuals, there is a huge philosophical difference in how they approach the fundamentals of getting the player into a vehicle and onto a track, so big it's almost like Turn 10 just doesn't "get it" anymore.
Pretty much expected regarding Forza Horizon 3 (selling 2.5M units). Good numbers compared to the previous iterations.
A great series. Good to see it hit this milestone.
As a quick comparison, the Gran Tursimo series (as of 2015) has sold over 76 million. Lets say the average game is £30, even though GT5 cost me £50..
If my maths are corrects, the GT series has made at least £22.8 billion. GT sport can only add to this. Plus this is GBP and not Dollars.
Sick achievement. Many people doubted the numbers:

But looks like those are some noice sale numbers indeed.
Well deserved. Such a sick racer. Was playing it this weekend and aaaah. Feel sorry for all those missing out 😍
I don't usually like forza games, because I don't usually enjoy race games, but must say after my gamble on horizon 3 I'm more than 100% happy.
I'm a blood n guts game kinda lover, so this was a nice change.
I think there's really only a couple of race games out that can compete with forza, project cars and gran turismo. Need for speed I thought on some games was going in the rite direction and don't get me wrong now and again it can pull out a surprise game, but it's not consistent enough like forza.
