Forza Horizon 3 - PC

[-HP-]

Always been envious of Xbone folks of their amazing Forza series. But with the new Microsoft strategy, the next one will be out on PC and shit looks amazeballs!

I'm looking forward to this coming to PC too. Me and my friends love a good coop driving game so hopefully this ticks a few of our boxes! Would love to see more exclusives coming to PC too!

Aye, this an Titanfall 2 were probably my picks of the show, really dug Forza Horizon 2 and the Australian setting seems like a perfect fit for this series.

Looks fun! Every now and then I want a semi-arcade:y driving game.

I'm not much into driving games, and in particular o found Forza boring as hell. But when the first Horizon came out I spent dozen of hours on just the demo to compete for times with friends.

Unfortunately price never dropped under the threshold I wanted to spend, and then my 360 fell in disuse.

This looks superb in terms of location. Downside for me it's the kind of game that sucks you into countless of hours to perfect your runs, and I don't have that kind of time anymore

Did anyone get this for Windows? How is it? Easy to play with friends and is it stable/smooth online?

I don't know if there's been a patch lately, as there's not an easy way to know with this Windows Store crap. But I have an i7 6700K, 32GB RAM and 2x970 in SLI, and I have to start my Xbox One to play this game with a smooth fps. That should be saying enough. 

I am a big Windows fan (one of few), but whoever designed the whole Windows store infrastructure and UI needs to get sacked.

That said, cross play and stuff seems to work great, but I haven't tried online mode or anything on PC. Waiting for patches, if they end up fixing something at all. Also it's one of the best Forza games in years, just a fun arcadey but unique feel to the cars and a lot of variation in what to do.

That's a shame it runs so badly. I don't care about the store and stuff so long as the game works and it's easy to play with other PC friends.

I'll hold out for a while then. Thanks for the update @biXen!

If it wasn't a Store exclusive I might have considered it. I only tried the first Horizon but was spending ages on it anyway. Love the arcade feeling and stunning graphics. This just turns it up to eleven.

They patched it now, still horrible

Really frustrating.
