Forza Horizon 4 Demo Now Available for Xbox One, But What's the Catch?

The wait is finally over for fans of the popular racing series, as the demo for Forza Horizon 4 is now available to download on Xbox One. However, before you start speeding through the British countryside, there are a few things you should know.

One high-profile casualty of the demo's limitations is Destiny 2, which was forced to scale back its performance due to CPU limitations, resulting in a subpar experience for players. Similarly, Forza Horizon 4 has been optimized for Xbox One X, but at a cost - the game will only run at 30fps in native 4K resolution.

In a blog post on Xbox Wire, Editor Mike Nelson revealed that Xbox One X players will have the option to play the game in native 4K at 30fps or drop down to 60fps at a lower resolution. While this may not be what fans were expecting, it's clear that Microsoft is prioritizing performance over graphics fidelity.

But what about the system requirements for PC players? According to the official Forza Horizon 4 website, you'll need a Windows 10 machine with at least a Nvidia GTX 970 or AMD R9 290x graphics card to run the game smoothly. The recommended specs are even higher, requiring a Nvidia GTX 1060 or AMD RX 470.

So, what can players expect from the demo? For starters, it's a massive 27.83GB download, which is quite substantial for a demo. Additionally, the game supports HDR (High Dynamic Range) for an immersive gaming experience.

The full release of Forza Horizon 4 is set to hit Xbox One and Windows PC on October 2nd, so there's still plenty of time to get excited about this highly anticipated racing game. In the meantime, you can download the demo right now from the Microsoft Store.

Forza Horizon 4 is an open-world racing game that has consistently impressed critics and fans alike, with many considering it one of the best reasons to own an Xbox One. With its beautiful graphics, engaging gameplay, and vast open world to explore, Forza Horizon 4 is shaping up to be a must-play title for racing enthusiasts.

So, what are you waiting for? Get ready to hit the roads and experience the thrill of high-speed racing with the Forza Horizon 4 demo on Xbox One. Just remember to temper your expectations, as this demo may not offer the full gaming experience you're looking for.
