Forza 7 is now just a month and a half away from being released. It will be the first game in the main Forza Motorsport franchise to launch on PC, after the free Forza 6 Apex and Forza Horizon 3.
The game is playable at Gamescom 2017 and German YouTuber Gronkh captured twenty-two minutes of gameplay footage at 4K resolution and 60fps, running on Xbox One X. As you can see for yourself, the game looks fantastic and that's even with YouTube's compression and the lack of High Dynamic Range (which will be available on Xbox One S, Xbox One X and Windows 10 PC provided you have a compatible display).
We've recently talked about the audiovisual enhancements planned by Turn 10 for Forza 7, which include:
- dynamic image-based lighting
- dynamic HDR skies
- dynamic cube maps
- improved particle effects
- increased grass density
- improved ambient occlusion
