Forza Motorsport will introduce Blind Driving Assists, a feature that offers audio cues to help blind and low-vision players navigate the racing sim. The feature provides audible information on track position, orientation, and car details, including deceleration and gear shifting. The game will also include One Touch Driving, which allows players to customize braking, steering, and throttle assists to minimize simultaneous inputs. Forza Motorsport is set to release later this year on Xbox Series X/S, Xbox Cloud Gaming, and PC.

Forza Motorsport introduces innovative accessibility features for visually impaired players.

Forza Motorsport will feature audio cues to allow blind or low-vision players to race around tracks. Turn 10 Studios worked with accessibility consultant and blind gamer Brandon Cole to develop the Blind Driving Assists (BDA) system, which uses beeps and boops to indicate turns, track limits, and other cues. The system also includes haptic feedback and voiceovers. Forza Motorsport will have a range of accessibility features, including screen narration, one-touch driving, and text-to-speech and speech-to-text features. The game is set to release later this year on Xbox Series X/S consoles, PC, and Xbox Cloud Gaming.
