Forza Motorsport Won't Have A Native Xbox One Release

Turn10 has confirmed that there won't be a native Xbox One version of Forza Motorsport, debunking previous rumours that claimed it would release on both current-gen and last-gen consoles.

Just a few days ago, Xbox hosted its first Developer_Direct, giving us more details on Redfall, Minecraft Legends, The Elder Scrolls Online, and the newly-announced and released Hi-Fi Rush. Although most of the Games at the show got given a firm release date, the one outlier was Forza Motorsport, which had a detailed Gameplay deep dive but was still tagged with "2023" at the end.

One thing that wasn't mentioned during the Developer_Direct was that there won't be a native Xbox One version of Forza Motorsport. As confirmed by a blog post on the Forza Motorsport support site, Xbox One players will be able to play Forza Motorsport through a cloud version that's included with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.

The post reads, "Forza Motorsport has been built from the ground up to leverage the full power and performance of Xbox Series X|S consoles and deliver our most beautiful, technically advanced Game yet. While there will not be a native Xbox One version of the Game, Xbox One players can stream Forza Motorsport through Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta) included in Xbox Game Pass Ultimate."

Interestingly, this goes against a leak from last year that suggested that Forza Motorsport would be getting an Xbox One release as well as Xbox Series and PC. Images popped up on the GamingLeaksAndRumours subreddit that showed a pre-release version of Forza Motorsport that was captured on an Xbox One. The images were authenticated by moderators for the subreddit as being both legitimate and from the Xbox One version of the Game.

However, it's worth noting that those images come from July 2021, which seems to suggest that Turn10 was initially trying to get the Game on as many consoles as possible, but gave it up to focus on a current-gen release, which makes sense considering the long list of technical improvements that were mentioned during the Developer_Direct.

The Last Of Us Show Confirms How The Virus Spread

HBO's The Last Of Us is well and truly off and running now, its second episode airing on Sunday night. That episode confirmed a fan theory regarding how exactly the cordyceps fungus was able to spread so quickly. Be warned if you haven't seen the first two episodes of the show, the rest of this article is teeming with pretty significant spoilers. Just hours after the show premiered nine days ago, fan theories started to swirl pointing to contaminated flour being the root of what quickly becomes an effectively world-ending pandemic. That theory was confirmed to be accurate during the opening few minutes of episode two. Another flashback, this time in Indonesia, during which a mycologist examines a flour factory worker infected by cordyceps.

MTG's Phyrexia: All Will Be One Card Lets You Kill Your Opponent In Just Two Turns

Magic: The Gathering’s next set, Phyrexia: All Will Be One, is currently being previewed. While we’ve seen all kinds of big, splashy cards, the one that’s given players the fear is, of all things, a tiny little Goblin Warrior. With just three cards and two lands, Cacophony Scamp can wipe an opponent out as early as turn two. Even more scarily, this combo works in both Modern and Pioneer, where it could give birth to a new take on the deck known as Hammer Time. RELATED: Magic: The Gathering – Phyrexia: All Will Be One Previews As noted on Reddit, Cacophony Scamp is an unassuming 1/1 Goblin Warrior costing just one red mana. It doesn’t have haste, but it does have two big upsides: it can sacrifice itself once it’s dealt combat damage, and when it dies, it deals damage equal to its power to any other target. THEGAMER VIDEO OF THE DAY With these two abilities, Cacophony Scamp becomes an absolute fiend when...

Mortal Kombat 11 Fans Discover Hidden Voice Line Four Years After Launch

Mortal Kombat 11 will be four years old in April, and fans are still making new discoveries. The latest is one that was teased by NetherRealm Studios senior designer Aaron Davis back in 2020, three years ago, and as it turns out, he was hinting at a hidden voice line. "For people who like hidden stuff in MK Game s, there's something in MK11 I put in that hasn't been found yet from what I can tell," Davis tweeted (as reported by Euro Game r). "Only hint I'll give is it's done inside a match and it's been there since day 1, so not DLC related." RELATED: Marvel’s Midnight Suns' Abbey Is The Perfect Mix Of Hades And Mortal Kombat YouTuber Waz, on February 19, revealed that, after four years, the mystery had finally been cracked, and it's an old-school style easter egg.
