Forza Horizon 3 PC Pre-Load Now Available

Ahead of its release next week, racing game Forza Horizon 3 is now available to pre-load on PC, Microsoft has announced. In a tweet, the Forza account also confirmed that "game-ready" drivers from Nvidia and AMD will be available today, September 21.

Here's the tweet:

Forza Horizon 3 comes out on September 27 for PC and Xbox One. The Xbox One itself supports pre-loading, but it's not immediately clear if this will be available for Forza Horizon 3.

A demo for Forza Horizon 3 is available now on Xbox One. PC players are getting one, too, but not until after the game is released. If you're planning to pick up the game on PC, you can check out the system requirements here to see if your rig can run it.

Forza Horizon 3's official release date is September 27, but people who buy the $100 Ultimate Edition can start playing Friday, September 23. The game is an Xbox Play Anywhere title, which means buying the game digitally for Xbox One gets you a free copy of the PC edition and vice versa.

GameSpot's Forza Horizon 3 review scored the game a 9/10.

"With Forza Horizon 3, Turn 10 and Playground Games affirm the series' status as the driving game for everyone," reviewer Miguel Concepcion said. "The new emphasis on off-road options isn't at the expense of traditional races, thanks to the sheer volume of activities."
