What a lackluster update after a very lackluster May update. 2 new cars plus the (paid) 963 and 1 track?
The addition of longer races is nice but they're gone in a month for single player, and I can't help but feel that for MP this was just enabling the "Long" type in the setup rotation.
What did they spend almost 2 months working on?

The list of game fixes and improvements hasn't arrived yet, let's wait on that before judging too hard.
And let's be honest: Anyone reading this thread will login this week to get the 963 for free, so "paid" is irrelevant for us.
For my part I can't wait to drive Sebring with FM23 physics. Happy it's back!

Called it. The fact that it's paid ("paid") DLC is going to go down like a cup of cold sick... Although, come to think about it, is there any game that added it at no cost for the players, other than the exclusive-license-holder Le Mans Ultimate?
Regardless, hopefully the 963 will soon be joined by other IMSA machinery from BMW, Acura and Lamborghini. And if my hunch is right, those may come for free.
Also, do my eyes deceive me, or we're getting a Chevron B16? Boy, they're really going all-out with the semi-obscure 1970s sportscar manufacturers, aren't they? Bet a lot of chuds are going to be pissed.
I certainly hope you'll be very disappointed come Sunday afternoon, when Ferrari goes back-to-back on the Circuit de la Sarthe!

Patch notes are pretty light https://support.forzamotorsport.net...orsport-Update-9-0-Release-Notes-June-10-2024
A bit disappointing, I did expect much of what they layed out recently wouldn't make the cut, but I thought there'd be a few more items in the bug-fixes and improvements section. Oh well, here's hoping the changes to the MP and SP events are meaningful, the list of SP events look like they should be quite fun

Regardless of what the patch notes say, I'm convinced that the graphics fairies touch up this game here and there with every update (and don't tell anyone about it), because IMO, as of today, the game has gone from "Is that it?" to "Look at you". Still ways to go to coming close to the trailers, though.

The Three cars (finaly another modern Hypercar/LMDH) plus Sebring are nice, but it's a bit dissapointing to see that Endurance races are not permanent in game (and again, what's the problem to bring back cars/or made some new to Forza with the Spotlight method like the 1st updates?)

So barely any new cars, almost zero significant updates to the game engine. Just Sebring and the Porsche 963 to highlight this month.
I don't want to be a doomsayer, but the lack of car updates (given the huge car list they can pull from in FH5) is really weird. I agree now that they don't have much to show right now outside of the regular new track. What are they working on in the background?

For some reason it's making me reinstall the entire 131gb game on my series x right now

The lighting angle in the garage screen changed... And I've already got the Porsche 963 combo... Onwards to Sebring!

I feel the same Mate, seems they give up to bring some cool and nice stuff for this game.
I know, now Horizon it's the master game for Forza Franchise. But really, this project have a lot of potential wasted. And I have waited a lot of years... for This? (what a pity, because the physics engine it's a lot better than FM7)
Yeah yeah Pandemic have made some trouble but it's not a justification.

Just a heads up to all of you. You can go into the Microsoft Store and redeem your Porsche 963 for free, even if you don't own the game. Just had someone who doesn't own the game confirm this.
There should be no reason to pay for the car now, even if you don't have the game installed. 🏎️

Ditto. Great.
I think its happened because the download failed due to lack of free SSD space, then glitched and got stuck. When I restarted the console it needed to download the whole game. My Internet kinda sucks too.

The showcase yesterday was the perfect opportunity to give this game a much-needed shot in the arm. Add a batch of LMHs/GT3s, maybe some LMP1s/GT1s for a bit of 360 fanservice; show the track; announce some other miscellaneous QOL changes; maybe tease some content and changes for the months ahead; anything to build some morale for a game that needs it more than the older game that’s part of a spinoff series or even GT7 right now; the sky’s the limit.
Instead this looks like another run of the mill series that goes away in a month’s time in the usual live service drip feed fashion, capped off with $5 for a single car (at least it’s not iRacing) made ‘free’ for a week, which is not a good look for a game that’s still trying to salvage some goodwill after everything at launch (to decent results until now). Maybe skipping the showcase was the right call.
I can forgive limited new content and fixes because I know there are temporal and spatial limitations to game development and realize content updates are planned out well in advance. But there’s still a long road ahead in terms of quality of life changes needed, and the 963 stunt doesn’t show confidence IMO.

All you need is an Xbox account, which you can create in all of five minutes.
Surprisingly, the reaction to the paywalled 963 doesn't seem to be as negative as I thought? I would've expected the official Forza accounts on Xitter and r/forza to look like a battlefield, instead basically nobody is mentioning it. May be because again, it's a functionally free DLC.
I don't really get the logic of making the 963 a paid DLC and then giving it away for free in this way, which means 99% of the Forza userbase will pay exactly zero for it. Perhaps it's something that has to do with licensing - let us not forget that Motorsport Games holds what seems to be an exclusive license for the WEC, which the 963 disputed since its year of debut...

Who knows what's in their Porsche license agreement for the 963.

Can confirm it's now fixed. Thanks @Milouse
Called it.
A new abbreviation this month - FOMOE
9 months in and the UI is unchanged and still completely ****. How many months do they need...?
Career mode hasn't changed in 9 months either (these F-orzathon-eatured tours aren't career).
Interesting that they've fixed the Nordschleife curbs which can only be because of the negative reaction they caused (same as the pit exit before).
I've given up on FM23 sadly at this point and will have to try another game that actually comes with a career mode, because this one never will.
Such a shame.

I'm just glad we got another LMDH to join the Cadillac, a couple nice classic racers although I wish they would start going beyond 3-6 cars a month without any paid DLC. We should be getting 10-12 a month with how many cars they can recycle and add that's new to FM. But having Sebring back is much welcomed. On the flip side it's hard to be too optimistic with update 10 and beyond other then multiclass coming, more AI tweaks and another recycled track.
