Microsoft/Turn 10 are apparently deleting negative Forza Motorsport reviews from the Xbox PC app

[Heisenberg007]

According to Reddit users in the r/forza subreddit, Microsoft/Turn 10 are deleting Forza Motorsport reviews. Other users in that thread seem to be confirming this.

It'd be a good idea to keep an eye on this.

As of now, October 11, 3 AM PST, the reviews on Xbox store for the Premium and Standard editions are as follows, respectively:

If others can track the number of reviews on the PC app, that'd be great.

[UPDATE] -- It's confirmed. Yes, Microsoft is deleting Forza Motorsport reviews.

Reviews for Standard Edition are now down to only 602 from 857 (as per the screenshot in the OP) from ~5 hours ago.

Scammy company doing scammy things. Imagine my shock

Funny how on metacritic they have no complaints on review bombing. Yet here we have a case of honest individuals giving their reviews on the main platform site and all of a sudden it's not OK to give bad reviews or reviews the dev owner doesn't want. What a joke.

Nothings transparent any longer

GT7 is simply better. Too bad Yamauchi doesn't make arcade racing games.

It is just sad Yamauchi stopped Tourist Trophy.

We need a Modern Ridge Racer

Massive flop, every racing game enthusiast YouTube channel has given this game negative reviews or said it was very underwhelming. But the Xbox shills still pumped it up to 85 meta somehow. Looks like they're now trying to control public perception like they did with the critical reception.

Microsoft has always been at war with Eastasia.

Damn we use to have alot of arcade racers past gens.

Are blaming those on PlayStation too? That would make sense.

As usual, Microsoft care more about the optics than the actual results. It's their undoing. They will do anything to make it appear like shit is gold, but a single whiff confirms it's still shit.

it is sad he is a fraud

3.5k CCU on Steam at release with a user rating of 44.81%. This is the worst performance for a AAA after Redfall. Both belong to Microsoft

I wouldn't say he's a fraud. TBH Tourist Trophy was probably put aside because of too much required resource diverting from GT, and Yamauchi being more of a car guy than a motorcycle guy (though he loves both).

TT also didn't sell well enough to justify a sequel.

What do you expect from the MS…

They tried every trick and shill in the book from FUD articles, shills shitting on every PS exclusive that came out from TLOU2 onwards. To journalists trying to tell everyone Gamepass is the future. MS tried everything and got away with it. But it didnt work.

Now with all the crap they pull and Phil Spencers lies have been exposed, its easy to see how scummy they are. The review strategy for Starfield and Forza shows there new lows.

For sure. Classic and new tracks, plus this new open world racing for chilling lol
