Forza Motorsport, the new Xbox racer by Turn 10, has been out in early access for several weeks. Despite the game offering a variety of single and multiplayer modes from the beginning, it seems that most players are sticking to the single-player option for now. Data gathered by TrueAchievements reveals that just 10% of Xbox players have gained the most rudimentary multiplayer achievement in Forza Motorsport – completing an introductory online race.
The figures from Steam are marginally higher, but even there, the most significant number of players seems to be ducking Forza Motorsport's multiplayer mode. It goes without saying that the majority of users would probably like to speed through the career mode before tackling anything else. Hence, these numbers could increase in the coming weeks and months.
Turn 10 has funneled lots of effort into revamping the multiplayer mode with this latest release. The team is undoubtedly eager to witness an increase in its online player count. Preferring to get a comprehensive gaming experience, most of us didn't get much of a chance to try out the multiplayer mode during our pre-release play hours. However, whatever little we did play proved to be extremely entertaining. In fact, our full written review mentioned that the multiplayer feature could evolve into something extraordinary over time if the developer and its online community embrace the mode as the game grows.

It's worth keeping an eye on Forza Motorsport's performance in the coming months as the balance between single-player and multiplayer could still shift dramatically.
