Forza World Podcast - A Forza Horizon Podcast

(Originally Recorded Oct 5)  Before you say anything, yes, we are tripling down that Forza Horizon 6 was originally based in Germany, or at least not in Japan. Hear us out, though. On this episode, we spill the dirt on how we've been able to predict locations in the past, and also provide some very solid insight on what happened before the shift to Japan. As a teaser, we believe it would have...

(Originally recorded Jan 22) Finally, some more Forza news! Forza Horizon 6 was revealed a few months ago, and details continue to trickle in on what we can expect. We now have the majority of the important details, including a (very mid) trailer that was released,  showcasing cars and scenery in the most realistic version yet. It shouldn't be a secret to anyone though: this entire series is...

(Re-posting - Originally recorded July 8 2025) Well folks, Forza Motorsport is dead. On this episode, we’re holding the funeral, giving our initial reactions to the news around Turn 10's brutal 120+ person layoff, and what is the final nail in the coffin for the Motorsport side of the franchise. We talk about how we got here, and how so many fans saw this coming. We told you this would happen...

The fellas are back, and Forza still stinks! We return from an unplanned hiatus with some important topics to analyze. Here’s a list of the main topics of discussion! Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown Review Aren gives his initial feelings on a Forza alternative, TDU Solar Crown. This is a game we have discussed in the past, and if you are unfamilliar, it is worth listening to Aren contrast the gam...

SPECIAL EDITION EPISODE: The show you've all been waiting for - our most negative and critical yet! In classic Forza World style, we tell you the straight dope: the newest Forza Motorsport game is a hot piece of trash that was rushed along with no regard for the fans. We dive into details, explaining some of the hot topics in the community and major pain points, along with a few other issues...

In just one week, the new Forza Motorsport game will be launched, and we break down what we're hearing and seeing so far about the game. We dive into some concerns we have with the rollout and promotion, specifically issues with the Premium Edition and the Add-On version. Jason raises some very valid points on behalf of all disc owners who want premium, and Aren discusses the pointlessness of...

In our most organized, funniest, and purely Forza-focused episode yet, we tackle one of the biggest question marks about the upcoming Forza Motorsport game: will Fujimi Kaido be there? We've got an answer by breaking it down methodically and based on some interesting things we've come across.  Aren was feeling especially negative about a few things, taking the reigns on this week's...

Get out the tin foil hats, because we have some baseless conspiracy theories for you! Forza Horizon has had a wild hot streak of great updates, and it almost perfectly coincides with the former Playground Games Creative Director leaving the company. Do we have any evidence there's a connection? Nope. Does it line up? Yep, it lines up way too well. Regardless, we still touch on the hottest top...

(Note this episode originally aired in February) Hello and welcome to Episode 13! The guys dive into the Rally Adventure expansion before its complete reveal, and to no one's shock, Jason nails the prediction (mid). Still, it could have been worse, and the fellas give a thoughtful analysis. Also, get your tin foil hats on! Forza Horizon creative director Mike Brown, along with a few other emp...

On this episode, Aren is absolutely waffled  from a few girly drinks. We discuss the upcoming Forza Motorsport reboot game that has had a lot of people talking lately after its lacklustre Bethesda event. We dissect the event, and decide if there were a lot of details to be positive about, or if there were too few to be confident. We unpacked every single new detail, and circled back to points that...

On this episode, the fellas are crushing red wine and give a high energy review of Jason's newly arrived Forza Horizon 5 branded merchandise: a hoodie, a sparkly t-shirt, a license plate frame, and a 30oz tumbler. Valuable and genuine consumer advice is rare around here, but they definitely provide some useful insight to those thinking of jumping on any of those items. The talk goes further o...

On this episode, we switch things up a bit and start the show off with some news, with some of the biggest being the new car that Pagani revealed: the Utopia. Even as big Pagani fans, we were less than impressed, and we had some other new vehicles to discuss that could be candidates to come to Forza eventually. To be fair, it's pretty odd looking. Not much Forza talk on this episode; in the w...

A special edition of the podcast this we dive into the new Forza Horizon Celebration update. It's been 10 years since the original Forza Horizon dropped, and Playground Games is celebrating by bringing back songs from old games, special reward cars and challenges, stories, and more. Each week is an alternating theme, from Forza Horizon games 1 through 4, featuring a remaster of their respecti...

Can you name a character from Forza Horizon 3? What about 4 or Forza Horizon 5? We sure as heck couldn't, and that was a big talking point on this edition of the Forza World Podcast. We're back after a little summer break, and we had some Forza topics to discuss, and a ton of car news to cover, including new cars from Koenigsegg, Bentley, McLaren, Bugatti, Hennessey, Dodge, Honda, and mo...

Episode 7 is a short show dedicated exclusively to reviewing the newly released Hot Wheels Expansion pack for Forza Horizon 5, and oh boy, do we ever have some strong feelings about it. Jason and Aren give a run down of their first impressions and score the pack out of 100. Whether you're thinking of buying it and want an opinion, or if you just want to hear our th...

On episode 6 of the Forza World Podcast, we recap our insane race weekend at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park and yet another baffling Porsche Cars & Coffee! A special thank you goes out to IMSA, CTMP, and especially the 🐐 Sam Fellows for hooking us up - we can't wait to do more with the track in the coming months.  We also sat in a 2 million-dollar Porsche Carrera, somehow. At 20:50, we ge...

In episode 5 of the Forza World Podcast, we preview our time at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park at the IMSA Chevrolet Grand Prix! Jason recaps his time in Montreal at the F1 GP, and the boys compare the two experiences from a fan perspective. In Forza news, Aren airs some issues with the new turn-in response changes that may have flown under the radar for most people, effectively ruining some types...

On episode 4 of the Forza World Podcast, we introduce the third member of the show, Andrew! He gives us an introduction of himself and his recent car mods, as well as some sunburn and golf talk. The trio discuss the massive news in the Forza universe with the announcement of the Forza Horizon 5 Hot Wheels Expansion, as well as new details and media for the Forza Motorsport reboot. There is also so...

On this episode, the fellas get into the Forza Horizon radio stations, and why they aren't nearly as good as they used to be. Aren discusses the exhaust note on the newly added GT3. We also reminisce about Limited Collector's Editions of Forza, and how hard it is to find official merchandise. Jason's complaint corner is caffeine induced, as usual, and transitions into some updates o...

On this episode, the boys get off-topic immediately with some complaints about squirrels (they stink). We recap our time at Porsche of London Cars & Coffee, which had some incredible variety. The F8 Tributo is now available for unlock in Forza Horizon 5, but Aren has a very fair bone to pick as far as the limited and lame colour options available in-game. This leads to some interesting discuss...

It's our first episode! Apologies in advance for the audio quality on this one. We give you a quick intro on how things started for Forza World, what things used to look like on Forza-Instagram 10 years ago, and why now was the time to start this show. Jason has several complaints about all these Hyundai commercials straight out of the gate. Aren wastes no time and makes a case for why Fortni...

It only took us 10 years, but we're excited to finally share our podcast with you. It's going to be a weekly show, where we discuss all things Forza Horizon, Formula 1, motorsport, and cars in general. We've got some fun segments planned, lots of video content, and we'll be attending events like the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal and the IMSA Chevrolet Grand Prix at Mosport. P...
