Forza Street: Microsoft wants to bring driving games to iOS and Android with a title that was already available for PC

One of the pending subjects that Microsoft has is the mobile ecosystem We are not talking about hardware, a field where right now it has it all lost. Nor is it software in general, where its applications are in very good he alth on both iOS and Android. In fact, yesterday we saw how Office was updated on iOS with a new design of its icons.

We are referring to the lack of own games on mobile platforms. And it is curious given that the American company has in its portfolio some of the best titles on the marketIn this sense, we have seen how the other large companies are in a similar situation. Nothing at all from Sony and Nintendo opens up minimally, first with the Mario Bros on duty that (https://www.lavanguardia.com/tecnologia/20160907/41164260583/nintendo-super-mario-bros-iphone-7.html=when it arrived and with some striking rumors.But what about Microsoft?

Well the Redmond-based company's first move stars the developers of Turn 10 Studios, one of the divisions of Xbox Games Studios. They have been the developers of the successful Forza saga and responsible for the best driving game of the year with Forza Horizon 4.

And now they announce the arrival of a driving title to the mobile platform. Under the name of Forza Street, we are facing a delivery of the Forza saga but with nuances that we will now see. A title that is expected to be released to iOS and Android throughout the year

We cannot expect a Forza Horizon or a compressed Forza Motorsport, far from it. Forza Street is much simpler, but it provides an appetizer for those looking for a driving game on mobile platforms.

The iOS and Android release will come to replace an existing title in the Microsoft Store called Miami Street, which passed without pain or glory. This has been developed by the Electric Square team, who are in charge of maintaining the game and not Turn 10.

Miami Street was free on PC and hopefully Forza Street will remain free. Regarding its version for mobile platforms, there is still no more information, so we will still have to wait to find out more details.
