Microsoft and Turn 10 Studios have announced new details for the PC version of Forza Motorsport, including recommended PC specs and supported technologies.
In a new blog post, the studio has confirmed that the PC version of Forza Motorsport will support native resolutions up to 4K and above. The upcoming racing sim will also support Nvidia’s DLSS 2 and AMD’s FSR 2.2 upsampling technologies. However, Microsoft especially took the opportunity to reveal the required PC configurations.
Unsurprisingly, the hardware requirements for the new Forza are quite high. The minimum specifications are quite modest, since it only takes a GTX 1060 graphics card to be able to enjoy the game, but the studio especially recommends an SSD with at least 130 GB of free space. If you only have one HDD hard drive, then maybe it’s time to update your PC.

In total, 18 steering wheels are supported on the console version and 41 steering wheels are supported on the PC version.
An Xbox Wire blog post published at the same time confirms that the PC version of Forza Motorosport will also offer cross-play and cross-progression capabilities on both PC and console. Additionally, Xbox has indicated that Forza Motorsport is offering vibration vibrations on Xbox controllers and one improved force feedback for those using a racing wheel.
Additionally, Turn 10 has revealed that the legendary Nürburgring Grand Prix circuit will be available in Forza Motorsport from day one. The iconic Nordschleife circuit will also be available in Forza Motorsport in a post-launch update, slated for release in Spring 2024.
