Here's all the details on Microsoft's Forza announcements today
It's a big day for news about upcoming Xbox One racing game Forza Motorsport 6.
Microsoft has announced that the game has gone gold, meaning development on the project has finished. The racer launches on September 15, but people who buy the $100 Ultimate Edition can play September 10.
Everyone will be able to play earlier than that, however, as Microsoft will release a free Forza 6 demo for Xbox One on September 1. The demo includes a "selection" of the game's 460 total cars, though a specific lineup of vehicles for the demo was not announced. The demo also includes night racing and wet weather, and runs at 1080p/60fps, just like the full game.
In addition, everyone who plays the Forza 6 demo will receive an extra free car in the form of the Ford GT for the full game. Microsoft will announce more details about the Forza 6 demo in the coming week.
Finally, Microsoft has announced 10 more cars for Forza 6. With these 10 cars, Microsoft has completed its car reveals--you can see all 460 cars (the biggest launch-day lineup in franchise history), along with the full lineup of tracks and more, at the Forza website.
