What is perhaps the finest racing game in recent memory has just gone gold, with Microsoft confirming that Forza Horizon 3 is now being prepared for digital release, as well as on retail discs.
This news is being celebrated with the announcement of a rather unique addition to its lineup of more than 350 vehicles. The Halo Warthog.
VIDEO Microsoft puts it:
“The M12S Warthog CST will be available at launch for Forza Horizon 3, and will be sent as a free download to everyone who has played either Halo 5: Guardians or Halo: The Master Chief Collection on Xbox One. Eligible players will receive codes to download the Warthog via an Xbox Live Message, and codes will begin to be sent out during the week of September 5. In addition, players who have not played an Xbox One Halo game will still have the chance to earn the Warthog via a special #Forzathon event coming to Forza Horizon 3 in October.” The software titan has also revealed the recommended system requirements for what will be the first full game in the franchise to see a release on PCs, via Windows 10:
► CPU: Intel Core i7-3820 @ 3.6GHz
► GPU: DirectX 12 enabled NVIDIA GTX 970 or GTX 1060; AMD R9 290X or RX 480
► VRAM: 4 GB
► RAM: 12 GB
► Hard Drive Type: HDD
► Available Space: 55 GB
► Resolution: 1920 x 1080
► OS: Windows Version Windows Anniversary Edition 64-bit 14393.101
Beefy!
Of course, there will be several settings for gamers to tweak and adjust according to their hardware prowess from basic ones like resolution, full screen and vertical sync to more advanced options like motion blur, mirrors, reflection and much, much more.
Forza Horizon 3 will be out on September 27 on both platforms, PC and Xbox One, though those who own the Ultimate Edition can start playing the game on September 23 due to their early access bonus.
