Forza

The Forza series is what happens when Xbox says, “What if car games were either deadly serious or absolute chaos?” And somehow, both ideas slapped.

On one side, you’ve got Forza Motorsport — the sim-racing side of the family. This one’s for the hardcore racers who know what camber means, spend 20 minutes tweaking suspension settings, and still yell when they mess up one corner. It’s clean, competitive, and full of “I swear I braked!” moments. You race on real tracks, in real cars, with real sweat.

Then there’s Forza Horizon — Motorsport’s wild, sunburned cousin who shows up to the car meet in a jet-powered ice cream van. Horizon throws you into massive open worlds (like Australia, the UK, or Mexico), gives you hundreds of ridiculous cars, and says, “Go nuts.” Want to launch a Bugatti off a volcano? Do it. Drift through a jungle in a rally truck? Go for it. Accidentally run over a cactus while doing 200 mph to EDM? Totally normal day.

Whether you’re a track tryhard or a chaos-loving collector of fast things, the Forza series has you covered — just don’t forget to brake (or don’t, we’re not judging).
