This holiday season will be a critical one for Microsoft as it launches its newly announced Xbox One X. And to show off that new console, Microsoft will launch Forza Motorsport 7 on October 3 as one of the flagship games.

Forza will run at a native resolution of 4K at 60 frames per second, and it will consume a lot of the new console’s 6 teraflops of computing power. With that extra power, Microsoft’s Turn 10 Studios will be able to render drivers in full detail for the first time, and the developers can add new details such as windshield wipers that rattle under intense speeds.
