History

Turn 10 Studios was established in 2001 by Microsoft, under its Microsoft Game Studios division, to develop a series of racing games, which later became known as Forza.{{cite web |url=https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2014/10/a-trip-to-turn-10-the-forza-studio-merging-car-culture-with-games/ |title=A trip to Turn 10, the Forza studio merging car culture with games |first=Jonathan M. |last=Gitlin |date=October 31, 2014 |website=Ars Technica |access-date=May 14, 2023 |archive-date=October 31, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141031172516/https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2014/10/a-trip-to-turn-10-the-forza-studio-merging-car-culture-with-games/ |url-status=live }} At the time of the studio's establishment, most staff had experience in publishing games, such as Project Gotham Racing and Golf 4.0, but had not been involved in game development. In October 2014, the studio employed approximately 100 full-time staff, as well as between 100 and 200 contract workers.

Technology

Turn 10 develops and uses a proprietary game engine called ForzaTech, and proprietary editor called Fuel that allows multiple artists to work on the same level, primarily those for cars and racing tracks, simultaneously.
