Xbox Game Studios has released a new installment in its Forza Motorsport franchise called Forza Street . This time, the game is a free-to-play title that lets players race in search of bonuses and extra points to unlock new vehicles and features. The best part? It's incredibly easy to play and completely free.
A Forza that you can download for free
Unless you already have an Xbox Game Pass subscription and enjoy the Forza titles included in the virtual catalog, this new release will allow players to get their hands on a title from the king of racing games for the first time completely free. Obviously, it's not a game similar in terms of features and graphical potential to previous titles in the series, but with a fairly fun gameplay system, it will try to capture players' attention.
Available today for free on Windows 10 devices — iOS and Android later this year — #ForzaStreet allows fans and seasoned drivers to collect and assemble a legendary lineup of cars to compete in intense, cinematic races on the go. https://t.co/LG77Al3TYy

Its peculiar control system is striking. Far from being based on the classic control with which to move the vehicle from left to right, Forza Street proposes a game mode in which we will have to press on the screen (Space key or click on the mouse in the case of Windows 10) to accelerate. at the precise moment of driving.

So we can enter a curve at the perfect time simply by stopping accelerating, to come out again later at maximum speed if we step on the gas again at the right moment (we will have to coincide with the moment in which the vehicle steps on areas of red and yellow).
You only need to look at the platforms it will be available on to understand the target audience. As you can see in the images, the aesthetics and gameplay mechanics are quite reminiscent of Asphalt , although they've taken the control system a step further, implementing a rather unique approach. Naturally, there are in-app purchases and eye-catching bonuses, which also strongly resemble the Gameloft title. It's clear that Microsoft wanted to capitalize on the trend of games seeking high revenue through microtransactions, and Forza Street seems to be a good way to achieve this.
Download Forza Street
The new game is available starting today on Windows 10 and can be downloaded completely free of charge (3,85 GB) via the Microsoft Store link below. As for the iOS and Android versions, we'll have to wait (that's what happens when you pamper your own product), so for now you'll have to make do with playing on your computer. That said, if you build your own racing simulator, you'll enjoy it much more.
