Forza Motorspot Will Let Blind Players Race With Revolutionary Audio Features
Forza Motorsport has a variety of audio features designed to enable blind players to race. Developer Turn 10 Studios worked extensively with playtesters to create what Xbox claims is the developer’s “most accessible game ever.”
When turned on, the features provide audio cues to let players know what is occurring. For example, the car and engine sounds will pan from left to right based on which direction the player needs to turn. A series of beeps will inform players if they are approaching the edge of the racetrack. Other audio cues include when to shift (if playing with manual transmission), pole position and direction on the track, more detailed turn information, and much more.
In setup, players can listen to sounds and toggle options to figure out what set of audio features works best for them. They can also customize screen narration, with volume, pitch, and speed options. The amount the screen narrator talks, and what it reads on the screen, can also be customized to prevent information overload.

Nvidia’s DLSS offering expands today with 5 new titles and an upgrade for Forza Horizon 5
Nvidia’s DLSS technology gets another update today, adding five new titles to the service, updating another, and improving the tools available to developers wishing to use the game-changing setup.
For the unfamiliar, DLSS stands for Deep Learning Super Sampling, and is basically a method of using AI technology to increase the frame rates you can output in compatible PC games – allowing you to theoretically crank up graphics-intensive settings including ray tracing without tanking performance.
With DLSS, you can do things like max out Cyberpunk 2077, including with ray tracing, and still achieve 60 or even 120 frames per second. When it works, it’s a bloody magical feature. There’s a catch, of course – you’ll need a compatible Nvidia RTX graphics card, and games have to be individually updated for DLSS compatibility.
Lego 2K Drive looks like a bricky blend of Forza Horizon and Sonic Racing
After some early leaks these last few days, publisher 2K have officially announced Lego 2K Drive, an open-world racer that looks surprisingly awesome – if you’ll excuse the low-hanging adjective. The game features co-op, multiplayer modes, and the ability to transform between air and land vehicles, Team Sonic Racing-style. The downside? Its collection of pre-order bonuses probably needs a graph of some kind to understand.
