Ranked: Every 'Forza' Game for Xbox
Every Forza game for Xbox is good, but which one is the best?
This past weekend was an exciting one for car fans, as a new Forza Motorsport was announced at the Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase on Sunday. Finally, after a dreadfully long five-year hiatus, Forza Motorsport comes back in the spring of 2023. The use of ray-tracing in the trailer and gameplay video showed insane visual improvements. An overhauled physics engine has our attention, and we're crossing our fingers that it delivers—c'mon, we deserve it. Pricing hasn't been announced yet, but it'll be included in the Xbox GamePass subscription.
The debut was a huge success, with enthusiastic feedback on social media hyping up the game. It looks like a gorgeous dive back into the Forza series. The announcement had us thinking: Which prior Forza game is the best? Let's break it down.
This list ranks every published Forza game on Xbox—Motorsport and Horizon—based purely on entertainment. Each Forza game is a solid, semi-realistic entry into the world of motoring, whether it be chasing apexes around Road America or plowing through some poor NPC's crop fields. Certain entries just do it better. The older games prove that you'll want to expand your collection backward down the timeline too.
So without further ado, here's our list of the best Forza games for Xbox. We've played every single one to bring you a subjective but experienced ranking, and still hold to the belief that the Xbox 360 controller is the best controller for racing games, ever.
