Forza Horizon 3 went live today for people who bought the Ultimate Edition. This is the game plus all the DLC. This is the first Xbox Play Anywhere title I have purchased so I tried both the Xbox One and PC versions.
I played the first half hour on the Xbox One and everything was very solid. This is one of the best looking Xbox One games I have seen and it stays locked at 30 FPS with no dips ever. I shifted over to PC and played about another hour of the game. The cross save feature worked seamlessly and I was able to pick up right where I left off on the Xbox version. The PC version looks amazing at 2560x1440 60 FPS and it also ran great on my hardware. Hopefully this means that Microsoft got their first party developers in line and Gears 4 will look and run just as well on PC. If it does I'm really looking forward to seeing it in a couple weeks.
As for the actual game, I really like it so far. The gameplay will be familiar to anyone who has played Forza Horizon 2 but moving the setting to Australia was a great decision. Everything looks so much more bright and colorful than their version of France in Horizon 2. The city areas look great but the real standouts are the lush Forrest areas and the beach. Driving an SUV at 100+ MPH on a dirt road through the woods feels great. From what I can tell so far, this is a very good sequel to Forza Horizon 2.
