Now I might not be right, but I think if you purchase on Windows 10 Store, you get a X1 copy of the game so you can play on both Win 10 and X1 and pick up your save wherever..

But I am only repeating what I read and I might not have got that right..

I hope it is correct. As that would be cool.

Xbox Play Anywhere games allow you to play the game on both platforms, whilst only having to buy it once.

They will be for sale in both the Windows Store and the Xbox Store and obviously the usual Xbox physical copies (albeit without play anywhere)

I thought it would just be the digital versions that "Play Anywhere" applies to, not the physical XO disc as that would be open to abuse.

Very cool!

Im not sure if this a good tactic form Microsoft as it may make customers not bother with xbox if they have a PC?

Personally I don't think they care, its all about user base to MS, a game sold via Windows 10 store or X1 store is still a game sold, and considering they don't make as much on hardware as most would have you believe, a lost X1 sale to making sales via Windows store from a Windows 10 licensed user is still sales, and increases revenue streams via other means.

Its when they start to charge for Live to use these games via Windows 10 - thats what I am wondering..

Yep they said digital only.

They don't care, it's all about the eco system for them and getting people spending on the microtransactions.

Sorry, Was referencing where it was for sale rather than that the play anywhere would work with a physical copy. Apologies for the confusion !

Hands up if you're getting the Ultimate Edition with the 5 days early access.

I love me some Horizon.

The 4 player campaign co-op, does that include the option of using split screen?

Just pre-ordered the Ultimate edition. Finally found out how to get the price in £ and not $ so my credit card works.

Just need my new XB1S to turn up and I'll be ready for FH3 day. :cool:

Damn but seems the graphics have been turned up over H2

Scort · 15 Jun 2016 at 13:38

Shame they are really pushing the off-road aspect; I always disliked those bits in FH2

As much as I can't wait to get my hands on this game I'm inclined to agree with you. The controls seem all over the place on the off-road terrain and it does get old after the initial fun factor wears off. I much prefer the traditional races.

Having said that, this was one of few highlights for me so I'll be all over it regardless.

Probably just showing the environment off, I'm sure there will be plenty of roads.

Wait - they did that from a video or had direct access to the game? :confused:

JoeF1 · 16 Jun 2016 at 19:32

Loved FH2 and showing off the cars in the thread here.

Will be getting this too!

Once you play Forza Motorsport for hours on end you'll take any off-road experience you can get. Makes a refreshing change for me from Motorsport.

I hope they decide to bring the game mode 'Cat and Mouse' back!

Considering who is speaking I expect its based on the video - whether they have a higher quality one than standard Youtube I cant comment.

Can't wait for this either. Definite preorder. Had both previous Horizons and much prefer them to standard Forza. Bring it on

Has anyone seen a video where they show the actual translation between your game and the game youve been invited to in? It appeared to be seamless at the presser but watching it back its hard to tell what actually happens.

Do you just in a spilt second have the time of day/weather; car you are driving (they didnt mention this); where you are in the world change?
