Forza Motorsport features some stunning visuals across the board but players on Xbox have experienced a strange bug that makes the graphics appear washed out. Here’s how to fix the Forza Motorsport graphics bug on Xbox.



With Forza Motorsport in early access, the game is currently available for Premium Edition players. Turn 10’s latest release brings a slew of new features to their signature racing-sim formula. Forza Motorsport boasts around 500 cars and 20 tracks on launch, with more to be added in the coming months. Being a live-service title, the game will also receive other bits of content in the future.

Visual fidelity has always been a strong point of the Forza series, and Forza Motorsport is no different. The game features various graphical enhancements including new foliage models, rescanned cars, updated tracks, and more.

However, a graphics bug on Xbox is causing the game to appear dull and washed out for some players. The devs have shared a temporary solution to the problem, with a proper fix likely to arrive in the future. Here’s how to fix the Forza Motorsport graphics bug on Xbox.

How to fix Forza Motorsport graphics bug on Xbox

The Forza Motorsport graphics bug on Xbox is caused by the game’s gamma settings messing up after opening the Visual settings menu. Fortunately, Turn 10 shared a fix for the problem with IGN.

Here’s how to fix the Forza Motorsport graphics bug on Xbox:

  1. Choose your preferred graphics mode from the Visual settings menu.
  2. Quit the game entirely from the Xbox Dashboard and remove it from Quick Resume as well.
  3. Relaunch the game and the bug should be fixed.
  4. Make sure to avoid going into the Visual settings menu.

In case the bug persists, we suggest restarting your Xbox entirely. That should be enough to fix the washed out appearance. The bug will receive a proper fix in a future update as stated by the devs, “We have already checked in a fix for this and it’ll be in the next update.”
