Forza Horizon 4

Earlier today Microsoft held its E3 press conference where the company announced a bunch of new games for both Xbox and PC. The company showcased 50 games and 18 exclusive titles which included the new Forza Horizon 4.

Set in the UK, Forza Horizon 4 offers the same racing experience with new features and better graphics. With the latest game, Microsoft has also added dynamic seasons so you can race in scorching heat as well as freezing winters. Not only that, you will be able to experience all this in 4K and HDR in more than 450 different cars. Forza Horizon 4 will feature cars ranging from McLaren Senna to the 1997 Land Rover Defender 90. Microsoft has also extended the partnership with McLaren and the Senna will make its North American debut in Microsoft’s Mixer booth (South Hall, Los Angeles Convention Center) during the Mixer live stream on Tuesday, June 12 at 11 a.m. PDT and displayed for E3 attendees throughout the week. Attendees can also test drive the car in Forza Horizon 4 in the Microsoft Theatre.

Coming back to the game, Forza Horizon 4 has a few additions which set it apart from the older games. These are:

  • Dynamic Seasons: Microsoft has added dynamic season to the new Forza Horizon 4. The new season changes will allow games to drive on season-specific routes like frozen lakes. Microsoft has added four major seasons to the game. Players will also be able to drive in different conditions like dry, wet, muddy, snowy and icy.
  • Open-World adventures: With Forza Horizon 4, Microsoft is allowing gamers to interact with each other within the game using chat. Gamers can also select custom race routes within the open world.
  • Co-op missions: For the first time, Microsoft is introducing Co-op missions for Forza franchize. Players can now team up with friends or anyone within the game for a casual or ranked race and can take advantage of Mixer for an even better broadcasting experience.

Forza Horizon 4 will launch worldwide on October 2, 2018, and will be available for Windows 10 PC and Xbox One as an Xbox Play Anywhere title. Microsoft is also offering the game to Xbox Pass subscribers on the launch day.
