Video Game Hype: Forza Motorsport 6 Demo Coming September 1st

A while back at E3 2015 I gave you my first gameplay impressions of Forza Motorsport 6.  Well in a few days you’ll get a chance to come to your own gameplay impressions because Microsoft just announced that the demo for Forza Motorsport 6 will drop on Xbox Live September 1st!  For those who pre-ordered the digital download of the game will get early access to the full game in about two weeks from now before its released to the world a week later.

While there hasn’t been many specific details about what the demo will include, Microsoft did mention that rain racing will be a part of it.  If I’m guessing I think the demo will likely be almost exactly like the E3 demo that I played but with a few more cars.  I guess we’ll find out for sure in a few days!

A few more cars have been announced as well.  Its all in the press release below!

Press Release:

The latest mile marker on the road to Forza Motorsport 6’s launch has arrived: We’ve gone gold! In two weeks, Forza Motorsport 6 will be available to play via early access for owners of the Ultimate Edition.

Five days later, Forza 6 will be unleashed to everyone! Before the full game launches, however, fans will have the chance to experience the thrills of Forza Motorsport 6 in the official free demo for the game, which launches on September 1.

The Forza Motorsport 6 demo will let players experience the most beautiful and comprehensive racing game of this generation, named “Best Racing Game” and “Best Simulation Game” of gamescom 2015. The demo features a selection of the 460 Forzavista cars available in the full version, all with working cockpits and full damage. You’ll experience highlights from the game’s 26 world-famous locales, including wet weather and night racing, all at a stunning 1080p resolution and 60 frames per second.

Everyone who plays the Forza Motorsport 6 demo will automatically get the new Ford GT delivered to their garage in Forza Motorsport 6 for no additional cost. In addition, the demo will include additional features that allow fans to get even deeper into the Forza Motorsport 6 experience. Look for more details on that when the demo launches on September 1!
