Nel corso della nottata, Microsoft ha finalmente mostrato, durante l'apposita conferenza al E3, la demo di Forza Motorsport 7. Il nuovo capitolo è stato pensato ovviamente sulle specifiche di Xbox One X, con pieno supporto alla risoluzione 4K Ultra HD e 60 immagini al secondo. Microsoft ha mostrato la corsa a Dubai a bordo della Porsche GT 2 RS presentata proprio nel corso dell'appuntamento losangelino: ventiquattro vetture in pista, tutte costantemente illuminate dinamicamente e tutte, come l'intero garage di 600 automobili, visionabili prima e dopo anche in modalità Forza Vista.
Per la prima volta i piloti saranno visualizzatili al di fuori delle macchine, avranno una cura maniacale paragonabile a quello dei loro mezzi e saranno sia di sesso maschile che femminile (come si nota dal trailer di lancio). Ci sono tantissimi dettagli che contribuiscono a ottenere un look fotorealistico: oltre alle nuvole (e alle relative ombre) calcolate in tempo reale un enorme passo in avanti è stato fatto grazie all'adozione della fotogrammetria in 4K per la realizzazione delle texture degli ambienti, che sono "disegnate" a partire da fotografie scattate dal team di sviluppo e poi importate nel gioco. Microsoft ha spiegato che si è posta grande attenzione per meglio riprodurre, sia a livello estetico che in termini di giocabilità, "le diverse vibrazioni che differenti parti della macchina subiscono durante la corsa". Forza Motorsport 7 uscirà il 3 ottobre, un mese prima rispetto all'Xbox One X.
Today, during the Xbox E3 2017 briefing, we unveiled that the best-selling racing franchise of this console generation is back with a premiere Project Scorpio experience, Forza Motorsport 7, and in continued collaboration with Porsche, debuted the Porsche 2018 911 GT2 RS as the cover car.
