1. What is Forza Horizon 4?

Forza Horizon 4 is the latest entry in the Forza Horizon series and like the other Horizon games, it will feature an open world which players can freely drive in. Playground Games developed the game with Microsoft Studios serving as its publisher. Players have been anticipating this game because Forza Horizon 3 was one of the better-received PC games of 2016 despite a few hitches.

2. What’s New in Forza Horizon 4?

The new Forza game will feature several new key features that Playground Games adapted from suggestions by its player community. This latest entry may well be another classic game in the making:

• Better visuals because it’s playable at 60 FPS: The game can be played at 30 FPS, but it clocks in normally at 60 FPS
• Ultrawide monitor support: Forza Horizon 4 will take advantage of the strengths of playing on the PC by supporting ultrawide monitors
• Dynamic in-game seasons make gameplay more exciting: Playground Games programmed the seasons inside the map to change every week. Each season will feature several new challenges, new races, and new opportunities for players
• Buy In-Game Houses and Businesses: For the first time, players will be able to buy properties across the map. These houses and businesses will unlock perks and new items
• Clubs System: You can create clubs in-game. This feature piggybacks on the Xbox’s club system, which means you can meet and bond with other players online thanks to this social function
