Forza 7 is an Enhanced for Xbox One X Title

For the best visuals, Forza 7 buyers need an Xbox One X. The console has a new processor, RAM and GPU that allow developers to use every pixel on a 4K display. Xbox One X launches on November 7th.

Turn 10 Studios, Forza 7’s developer, says that the game will run at 4K resolution and 60 frames per second with HDR. It’s also promising very smooth movement at 60 frames per second. Frames per second measures how many times the console refreshes what’s on your television. The higher the amount, the more life-like things look. HDR stands for High-Dynamic Range. HDR enhances color contrast. Forza is one of only two Xbox exclusive games that will have full Xbox One X Enhanced support this fall.
