All Future Forza Games Are Coming to PC and Xbox, Microsoft Confirms

Additionally, Turn 10 confirms Apex Edition will run at 60fps and at a resolution of up to 4K.

261 Comments

This spring's Forza 6 Apex will be the first entry in the racing series to come to PC, but it won't be the last. Today at Microsoft's Build conference in San Francisco, the company aired a new Forza video in which Turn 10 creative director Dan Greenawalt says all future Forza games are coming to Xbox and PC.

No Caption Provided

In the video, Greenawalt says Apex represents the "first step" in the Forza series shifting to Windows 10. It also aims to be a "proof point" of what developers can do using Microsoft's Universal Windows Platform, which allows studios to make games across all Windows 10 devices.

"Moving forward, all of our games are going to be shipping on Windows 10 and Xbox," Greenawalt said. "The Universal Windows Platform is great for the game developers and gamers alike. It's going to become even more powerful as a way of delivering amazing experiences across all of the devices in the Windows ecosystem."

It's also confirmed in the video that Apex is capable of running at 60fps and at a resolution of 4K if your computer can manage it. This is the highest level of fidelity in the history of the Forza franchise.

Apex, a free-to-play version of Forza 6, is due out later this spring, though a release date has not been announced. Another Forza game has been announced and will be properly unveiled at E3 2016. This game's "cover car" is the Lamborghini Centenario, which isn't available in the real world yet.

I would say "SWEET!"... but it'll probably be Win10 only. I REALLY don't want Win10. Gonna hold out as long as possible.

@Zorlac: When it works. For many people, Windows 10 is extremely unstable. I'm a qualified Windows technician, and after a week of troubleshooting, I gave up on Windows 10. For me, it was the most unstable OS I've used since Windows Millennium Edition.

Is there a reason to own an Xbox One if Microsoft keeps sending games over to WIndows 10 ? Just throwing it out there because now I am feeling kind of cheated since I own an Xbox One.

@thomasn7: If you own a good gaming PC and an XBOX there seems to be no point now. I'm now thinking of selling my Xbox One. The only way I will hang onto it, is if I purchase all future games on Xbox One I get the PC version at no additional cost.

If I would need to purchase 2 copies of the same game for each platform then there is no point in owning both anymore.

@thomasn7: You'll need much more money to get decent gaming PC. A lot of people already have non-gaming computer, be it a laptop, Surface-like convertible or modest desktop... putting another PC for gaming would be overkill. So yes, there's a reason to own X1.

But there is also a reason for MS to use their own franchises over different platforms: more money. And I'm not saying this in any sarcastic, "they are evil" way. It is simple economy. A lot of elements from X1 ports can be transferred to PC with little to none extra work, and money is there, waiting to be taken. It makes perfect sense.

@bobafetthatesu: No one is too scared of pc, they just don't game on pc because they like exclusives or because they are too stupid to look at it, however with stuff like this, a bro might go "wow, better get that"

Xbox one has no exclusives coming this year, literally 0. Ps4 has over 20.

@freeryu: Uncharted 4, Horizon Zero Dawn, Ratchet and Clank, Ni-Oh, World of Final Fantasy, Alienation, The Last Guardian, Gran Turismo Sport, Persona 5, Gravity Rush 2, Drawn to Death, The Tomorrow Children, Dreams, What Remains of Edith Finch, Nier Automata, Shadow of the Beast, Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness, Ace Combat 7, Matterfall, Detroit: Become Human, Hotshots Golf, MLB The Show 16, Kill Strain, Let It Die, The King of Fighters 14, Hunger, Megadimension Neptunia VII, Yakuza Kiwami, Yakuza 6, Wattam, Without Memory, etc etc

Honestly Uncharted 4 and Ratchet and Clank are rather low on thatlist as far as quality, MLB the show is shitty in my opinion but yea, the rest of those games are going to be or are already damn great, and I didn't even list close to them all.

@putaspongeon: Ratchet and Clank might be low but Uncharted 4 is the peak of hype, sales, and high reviews. Its a defining factor to choose between an Xbox One or a PS4. I doubt I'd hear someone hyping up Megadimension Neptunia VII or The Last Guardian.

@freeryu: You don't hear people hyping those games up? Megadimension Neptunia is a VERY popular series for a lot of people.

Normal codplayers get uncharted and halo, however core gamers have been asking for the last guardian for years, shadow of the colossus is literaly the game that got a lot of people to like video games andit's the favorite game of a good chunk of core gamers who are old enough to have a ps2, it was that good of a game.

@putaspongeon: I never actually heard of Megadimension Neptunia till now tbh. Looks like a generic Japanese game with big boob anime girls. Never played the games so I can't judge it. They like that kinda stuff so i'm not knockin it.

Halo and Uncharted got people into video games too. Uncharted is one of the best third person shooters ever created. Gears 3 and Mass Effect 3 are up there too. and Halo defined the genre, from what I hear. Notice how all these games are going Sci Fi and Halo has been doing it since its release. Halo is the copy cat tho apparently.

For a game that's so popular i'm surprised it hasn't got a follow up yet. It's almost as though Sony prioritized other games.

@freeryu: The Neptunia series is a parody series, it actually parodies those games you are relating it to. Usually it's a sub par game though beyond that but megadimension neptunia 7 has become a lot more strategic with distancing and all that.

Uncharted is always a technical marvel but it's just slightly above average as far as enjoyment, halo less so for me. Better 3rd person games? Well I'm a big fan of the enemies and how they can get individual parts blown off in binary domain but I'd have to say vanquish is the best 3rd person shooter. At least given that you considering mgs1-4 as stealth games and not 3rd person shooters, because those games are far and beyond true masterpieces.

Max Payne 3 had great gun combat as well, The Just Cause series has more interesting 3rd person shooting, I'd put the evil within and the resident evil series above uncharted as well, even 6 because if you look at it as a fun campy game it's hilarious, Dead Space 1-2, Red Dead Redemption, etc etc

Gears of War isn't a good shooter, it's a popular shooter. Mass Effect isn't really a good shooter either, it's a good series but not because of it's shooting combat.

Halo defined the genre? No it didn't, there were tons of great shooters before then, you're mixing up popularity and quality. Unchard is C+ ish, Halo is C ish, and Gears of WAr is D+ ish.

There were tons of sci fi shooters before halo and going "future" isn't copycat anyway, there is literally 3 things you can do, go into the past, do a modern shooter, or go into the future. Don't try to tell me something like Shadowrun Dragonfall is based on (not gameplay wise) halo because both take place in the future.

Halo 5 is copying call of duty though, but 4 and 5 were created by a different dev so that's not bungie's fault but the shitty new dev for it.

@rosinmonkekyx17: Gears of War 4: Coming to pc, they already hinted at it and "possible" means "yes it's coming but we want to sell on xbox one first"

Quantum Break = Pc

Halo Wars 2 = Pc

Crackdown 3 = no pc confirmation yet but this game isn't coming out till 2017, only a beta this year

Cuphead = Pc

Recore = 2017 title, was pushed back earlier this year and it's coming to PC

Sea of Thieves = PC

Killer Instinct Season 3 = dlc

Gigantic = PC

Tacoma = PC

Cobolt = PC

Oxenfree = PC

We Happy Few = PC

Superhot = Already on PC

That's your entire list, no exclusives on Xbox one this year.

PS4 has over 20 quality true exclusives this year.

If you count "console exclusives" PS4 with just their console exclusives shits on xbox one's console exclusives.

@freeryu: 1) Halo 5 might still come to pc

2) That was before the giant push of phil spencer to appease pc gaming and win that market

Honestly halo 5 will likely come to pc in a year or so I imagine, they are making the push for pc gaming this year.

@rosinmonkekyx17:You have to remember that Gamespot's reporting is often totally wrong. Of the 14 games they list, these are not excluves (number based on image number).

3. Quantum Break - also on Windows

4. Halo Wars 2 - also on Windows

6. Cuphead - also on Windows

7. Recore - also on Windows

8. Sea of Thieves - also on Windows

9. Killer Instinct Season 3 - also on Windows

10. Gigantic - also on Windows

11. Tacoma - also on Windows, Mac, Linux

12. Cobalt - also on Windows, Android, Linux, Mac

13. Oxenfree - also on PS4, Windows, Mac

14. We Happy Few - also on Windows, Linux, Mac

15. Superhot - also on Windows, Linux, Mac

The exclusives they got right were Crackdown 3 and Gears of War 4.
