More Accessibility Features Come To 'Forza Motorsport 7'

Even though the Forza Motorsport games have deep roots in simulation, its fanbase includes more than just die-hard racing fans. Players of different ages, skill levels, and abilities participate in its many virtual races. With the release of Forza Motorsport 7 today, Ryan Cooper, the executive producer at Turn 10 Studios, told Tom's Hardware that it will include some new features to ensure that these players can enjoy all that the game has to offer.

There's also a new “Super Easy” mode that features multiple assists: It can automatically activate the brakes on corners; keep your car on the track; and turn off friction physics so that it doesn’t slide on grass, dirt, and wet surfaces. Cooper said that this setting will “allow the younger or less dexterous racers to compete.”

As is the case with any title, Cooper said that he and the team will continue to look at more ways to increase the game’s accessibility so that even more players can experience current and future iterations.

If you pre-ordered the Ultimate Edition variant of Forza Motorsport 7, you can start playing today. For everyone else, the game will be available next week, on October 2.
