    It is impossible to run this game properly. Stuttering, dramatic FPS drops, crashes.. the list goes on. The issues are not hardware related (I'm running a GTX 1080 with a more than capable machine). Buying through the Microsoft store was convoluted and counterintuitive. I cannot lower volume in the game at all (one and ten are the same volume). And since this is being launched throughIt is impossible to run this game properly.

    Do not buy this game, wait.

    When a game can take someone who isn't even remotely interested in a genre and make them a fan, you know it's a great game. This game is looks incredible and there's so much to do. Runs well on my rig, medium settings, 1920x1080, 60+ FPS: i7 4790k, Radeon R9 290, 16 GB RAM.

    I DO Agree that Its a fantastic game.
    Beautiful world, amazing details, impressive sound design and fantastic visuals.
    BUT With my system, i7 6700k, 970gtx, 16gb RAM all i get is stutter after stutter, FPS drops to 0 for seconds till it back to 40-60. Changing the resolution and settings will not make difference. I noticed CPU is running at 60-70 and sometimes hits 80%. I believe

    First of all, let's be agreed on the fact that Forza Horizon 3 is one of the greatest car games released in a decade (no matter the genre) with a fine razor-sharp accurate gameplay that conveys amazing sensations due to its animation, the thrill of speed (past 300km/h it goes very fast, we don't often see such quality in the way speed is rendered), an astonishing atmosphere induced by aFirst of all, let's be agreed on the fact that Forza Horizon 3 is one of the greatest car games released in a decade (no matter the genre) with a fine razor-sharp accurate gameplay that conveys amazing sensations due to its animation, the thrill of speed (past 300km/h it goes very fast, we don't often see such quality in the way speed is rendered), an astonishing atmosphere induced by a festival that clearly displays the same magnificence as did the very first episode, beautiful graphics as well as tons of content (despite a RIDICULOUSLY small map).

    But, since there is one, and a big one, should you consider the problems the game is tussling with before you take the decision to purchase it at top price, because it's optimized like **** A true disaster. Not only isn't this W10 game the first to be obliterated and mucked up in terms of performances/opti but it also runs poorly on whatever type of machine you have (substandard performances even with 16Go Ram GDDR5, an i7-6600 and a 1070). So this means that if you don't have a very good computer, you can forget about playing it even in low presets, clearly. There's a lot of stuttering and the frames are inconstant. Although the main problem isn't that you cannot bypass these recurrent little problems by deactivating V-Sync or tweaking something else actually, the thing is that they released a game running so awfully bad that it acts as a V-Sign made to the PC platform. Keep also in mind that FH3 is encrypted so neither mods can improve it nor bring FREE content. No, in lieu of that, they don't hesitate to deluge you with overpriced DLC's and a 100$ Ultimate Edition with a Season Pass that is not even inclusive of the two forthcoming DLCs for free (while it should). They're notwithstanding priced $34,99 or "only" $24,99 with the SP... I appreciate the fact that you didn't mention this to those who already cast $100 into the Ultimate Edition... The least you could do was include them for free since everyone knows that FH's DLCs are far from being as good and valuable as those of The Witcher...

    As such, I fiercely wouldn't recommend you to buy it for the time being but as it happens to wait several weeks/months till the game's price significantly drops, (it isn't worth your money currently) and till the release of serious patches that'll make the title run decently on your gaming tanks.

    My rig is:
    I7-2600k @ 4.2 GHz
    16 Gb DDR3 1600 MHz GTX 980 Game is running at about 60 with regular FPS drops at 1440p and medium settings. With dynamic optimization is on game stutters as hell, completely unplayable. I hope the problem is not my rig but the poor optimization of the game. It should be fixed as soon as possible if developers and Microsoft want to make a good impression

    The game itself is really good, but for now it doesn't deserve a score higher then 5.

    Played many hours of the xbox one version and also now the PC version. I have most settings at low and medium but it runs well even on my older gpu and a decent i5. Best racing series only gets better, now on pc also. Go get this game now, simply amazing!

    Game runs like a turd. Yes I have MSAA set to x0 and have the latest and greatest Nvidia driver specifically for this game.

    I will seemingly be driving in races getting flawless 60fps (V-sync on) @ all ultra (MSAA x0), @ 1440p. Then suddenly this weird rubber-banding / jitters happens and it feels like some sort of server side lag rather than any GPU issue when my brain thinks my car is slowing down, but actually in-game time is stopping.... then don't get me started on how the game crashed within first 30 seconds on launch the first time, the unskippable opening videos, the unskippable cutscenes, the same cutscenes that cause the game to sometimes crash (so far 10 crashes, 3 hrs in), the garage car customisation menu LAGS. Yes you read that right, simply switching the rear wing on my car in the menu scrolling left/right has a 5 seconds LAG as it sort of downloads the textures for the menu button? (I'm not even talking about the visual change on the car, I'm talking about the bloody menu button!). The game also launches in a window, rather than exclusive fullscreen just to annoy you everytime you go to launch it after it crashed again. And to top it all off, if I wanted to try and fix these problems myself, I can't because of UWP. Thanks. What a turd. With patches it could probably be a flawless 9/10 and I'll adjust my score if they bother to patch any of this in the next 2 weeks or so. Otherwise no it's a absolute garbage port.

    Overpriced and unoptimized, Microsoft continues its ignorance towards pc gaming. Game only runs on aniversary edition of Windows 10 and is encrypted in such a way that moders cannot work with the game.

    This game is an insult to all rig...
    I have a 1080 msi gaming x, 16 go ram, i7 3770k @ 4.2 and the game sutter a lot, the framerate in ultra is between 35/60 with msaa 4. If i change msa to 2 i have the same result...
    The game sutter like hell....
    It's not a port it's an emulation...
    I would prefer that xbox play anywhere never exist...

    The high-end PC settings don’t live up to our expectations, but the handling, courses, and community features are all top of their class. Forza Horizon 3 is the type of racing game that just about anyone can pick up and have fun with, but it still includes depth for committed players. Put that together with a beautiful environment that you can explore at your own pace, and Forza Horizon 3 is one of the strongest and most well-rounded open world racers we’ve ever played.

    A spectacular arcade racing game with brilliant graphics. The driving feels terrific, the amount of content is staggering and the faux Australia is joy to explore. Need for Speed, take heed.

    Forza Horizon offers you a huge world to explore. It gives you as many cars, from supercars to off-road buggies, to race how and when you want. Explore the outback, race along the coast. Forza Horizon 3 is possibly the best racing game in the world, just marred by performance issues on the PC and the dull nature of the create-your-own-race options.
