Why Forza Motorsport Doesn’t Have Split-Screen Multiplayer At Launch

The new Forza Motorsport game brings the long-running sim racing franchise to the Xbox Series X/S for the first time, but a lack of split-screen multiplayer support marks a break with series tradition. Although the companion Forza Horizon series has never featured split-screen renditions of its open-world environments, consoles have always been able to handle local multiplayer in Motorsport‘s more focused racetracks. The technological leap with the Xbox Series X/S might seem even more capable of taking on such a challenge, making the lack of the staple feature more surprising and disappointing.
