Microsoft and developer Turn 10 Studios have big plans for the upcoming Forza Motorsport 7. Expected to be the showcase title for the upcoming Xbox One X 4K experience, much attention has been paid to the popular racing series’ upcoming entry to ensure it looks as good as possible. That work has reached a climax as Microsoft has announced today that Forza Motorsport 7 has gone gold.

The game will launch for both the Xbox One console and for Windows 10 PCs on October 3. The Xbox One X enhanced version will be available when the console launches on November 7. The Xbox One X version promises to be the ultimate 4K racing experience for console players, but Windows 10 players can get a taste earlier with the Forza 7 Windows 10 demo.

The demo for Forza Motorsport 7 will be available on September 19 and features three cars and three tracks. Drivers will be able to take the cover model Porsche 911 GT2 RS for a spin in Duabi, the Mercedes-Benz Tankpool racing truck in Italy, and the Nissan NISMO GT-R LM around the legendary Nürburgring Grand Prix circuit. The demo will also include the revamped weather effects teased during the game’s reveal at E3 2017.

During E3 2017, Forza Creative Director Dan Greenawalt sat down on the Shacknews casting couch and opened up about the new game, explaining that Forza Motorsport 7 was built from the ground up for the PC platform. You can catch the full video interview below. Make sure your rig is ready for the Forza 7 demo by checking out the required system specs.
