Probably a bug since all Forza games since Horizon 3 were Play Anywhere so all progress/achievements are tracked across Xbox and PC.

I got these 3 for Horizon 3, Horizon 4 and Motorsport 7 (all from PC).

That's probably right it must be a bug as I have played both FH3 and Motorsport 7 as well...let's see if it changes when the game officially launches there are a few nicks and ticks here and there maybe there's a day one patch in the works

The game looks so good in Quality mode.
The input lag that comes with 30fps is unbearable so i switched to performance mode and TBH on the Xbox series S on performance mode its not even close to what image quality i have seen in most screenshots. But Forza is Forza and I'll get used to it sooner or later. Sometimes i really miss having a desktop PC

The IQ on SX in Performance mode is also pretty good since it's always aiming for native 4K. But there are some cut backs in vegetation and ground textuers, I guess not really notable if you're driving at 200mph.

Don’t think there is any reward for Motorsport 6 Apex, I played that too. For the rest, I got a notification pop up while playing the game that the cars were added to my garage. Didn’t have to do anything to redeem them as such.

This fucking wheel spin system is a nail biting asshole. Just missed a 2013 GTS Viper and got a fur coat for the driver avatar instead.

Series X Quality mode equivalent on 2060 Super.
Out of the 7 possible settings that have "Extreme" setting on PC, Series X only has 3.
While SSAO, Reflection, SSR quality can go upto Ultra but are High on Series X.

So, Series X isn't even coming close to maxed out PC settings.🤷‍♂️

Yeahhhh nope. The laptop version of the 3060 (unless it's the 3060 TI, maybe) ain't outperforming a Series X in a rasterization-only scenario. Itna bhi ooncha na urdo 🤣
Pehle chalna seekh lo, phir urdhne ki baatein karna :ROFLMAO:🤣

Series X in Performance mode is equivalent to RTX 2080 or 2080 Super as per Alex.

That's pretty damn impressive and paints the Performance mode as more .. performant .. for the lack of a better word.

Series X Quality mode equivalent on 2060 Super.
It would probably out perform the 2060 S if it had an unlocked option, easily. As it stands the Quality mode is pretty much 100% locked to 30, i-e there's overhead that's untapped cause of the 30 FPS lock.

Well the 2060 Super has overhead as well as its always above 30fps in the DF video.

Yes, but 1 or 2 frames :p

I don't know if it has enough over head but this will be a good candidate to get the 40 FPS on 120hz display treatment Ratchet got.

Uhh not really. It goes up to 41fps and is mostly in mid 30s. The overhead is probably comparable on Series X but not more.

If it is anything similar to FH4, it's like 1 car in 20 spins. Good thing they offer multiple super spins on holidays and events.

My garage is ~15 cars now, almost all of them are from the wheels and almost all of them are B tier. So, nothing really useful's come out of it so far.

Looks like there is a working mod that allows for ray tracing during gameplay on PC.

Additionally, there's no reason why the RT reflections for Forza Vista and the garage couldn't have been extended to gameplay - indeed, one of our amazing DF supporters shared with us a mod for enabling them in-game, and it works
Truly! Couldn't even shoehorn some RT reflections for your liking 🤣
Modders do what Playground Don’t 🤣

Played a few races last night. I must say the buildup at the start sets up a high bar for the game itself to deliver later on, which made me interested in completing a few races to get to the next showcase event. (However the immediate one at the beginning with the Ford was underwhelming).

I guess this has always been the staple for the Horizon franchise. The starting sequences for both Forza Horizon 3 & 4 were also absolutely incredible.

FH5 really seems to be redefining the driving genre. I don't think i have seen this sort of numbers for any driving game ever. 4.5 million plus is unbelievable. I am sure a lot of it of it can be attributed to gamepass but it still is quite an achievement nonetheless.

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.

    With how great cod warzone has translated onto mobile. Mainstream Consoles have lost its value even further. Maybe console gaming was associated with TVs and how TV is not the primary source of media consumption anymore, consoles will lose its 200 million core audiences even further.
