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.[2][3] 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.[2] In October 2014, the studio employed approximately 100 full-time staff, as well as between 100 and 200 contract workers.[2]

Technology

Turn 10 develops and uses a proprietary 3D modelling software called Fuel that allows multiple artists to work on the same model, primarily those for cars and racing tracks, simultaneously.[2]
