Forza Customs

Another awful mobile adaptation of the Forza franchise, this time taking the form of a match-3 game.

The game was delisted on the 10th of March 2025, Players who still have the game installed can still play the game past its removal from the App Store/Google Play.

Version Differences#

Shortly after Custom Car Works was released, the game was renamed to Forza Customs, due to a licensing contract with Turn 10 Studios.
