Forza Motorsport 6 Archives | Broken Joysticks

Microsoft held a behind closed doors press event last week to showcase upcoming games & technologies coming to Windows PC and Xbox One. Among the announcements, set to be unveiled later today at 9PM EST, is the fact that a free version of last year’s Forza: Motorsport 6 will be coming to Windows 10 for free.

In a now removed Seattle Times article which was accidently posted before the event’s embargo reporter Matt Day summarizes Forza Motorsport 6: Apex as a “a slimmed down version of its Xbox cousin, will be released free to users of Windows 10 this spring.” Day continues that Microsoft hopes that Forza Motorsport 6: Apex will be a showcase for what Windows 10 powered gaming rigs can do.

Forza isn’t the only previously Xbox One exclusive franchise to make the jump to Microsoft’s longest running product. Killer Instinct season 3, the third batch of add-on content for the 2013 Xbox One brawler, will make the leap later this month. Developer Iron Galaxy Studios recently unveiled that Halo’s The Arbiter will be playable once Season 3 releases.

Expect more news from the Microsoft press event when the embargo drops in a few short hours.

Microsoft has released a pre-release demo for their upcoming Xbox One & Xbox 360 racer Forza Motorsport 6 ahead of the games’ September 15^th release. Alongside this playable slice of the game Microsoft has also released the launch trailer for the game as well as the official television advertisements.

Forza Motorsport 6’s demo comes with the following description from the Xbox Live Marketplace:

Experience the most beautiful and comprehensive racing game of this generation, named “Best Racing Game” of gamescom 2015. The Forza Motorsport 6 demo features a selection of the 450 Forzavista cars available in the full version, all with working cockpits and full damage. You’ll experience highlights from the game’s 70 hour career mode, including wet weather and night racing, all at a stunning 1080p resolution and 60 frames per second.

Developer Turn 10 has promised some improvements over their last racer, the Xbox One launch title Forza Motorsport 5, with the inclusion of more realistic weather physics. When rain starts to fall from the sky it won’t just be cosmetic – a new physics system allows cars to hydroplane when they encounter a puddle of water at high speeds.

More than 450 cars will be available in the base game alongside 25 tracks- 9 of which are making their first appearance in a Forza Motorsport title.
