7. Forza Motorsport 7

Many racing sims aficionados have turned to the Forza Motorsport series over the years to enjoy some hardcore racing action, even if it can be argued that Microsoft’s franchise has played second fiddle to Gran Turismo over the years. But this year’s entry could end up being the best to date, as Forza Motorsport 7 will not only be featuring the same collection of accurately modelled tracks as the earlier games, but also a large roster of cars to drive, plus a large selection of game modes to enjoy.

Also, support for Xbox One X means this will likely be the best-looking game to date in a franchise that’s been renowned for its spectacular graphics over the years. Actually, this will not only feature true 4K graphics, full dynamic lighting and a real-time comprehensive weather system – it will all be running at a full 60 frames per second, meaning this could end up being one of the best-looking console games ever released when it ships this fall.

Release date: October 3.
