It seems some of the black Friday deals are starting to come out, first one I've seen pop up…

Standard Edition - $63.02 (35% off)
Deluxe Edition - $89.96 (25% off)
Ultimate Edition - $111.96 (20% off)

Keep in mind that buying digitally gets you the Xbox One and Windows 10 versions of the game and that is the only way to get the Windows 10 version. Great game, pretty decent price really. Enjoy!

    A shame its still expensive (comparatively).
    Will wait for the PC version to come down in price, or atleast the digital Xbone code to be cheaper.

      Yeah I paid just a touch over this on release for a digital copy from the Singapore store I believe. Super easy.
      Don't bother with PC yet, still runs like crap.

        runs amazingly well for me… mind you I'm potentially on the higher end… i7 6700k, 16gb ram, gtx1070… get a nice solid 60 out of it

          Same specs here and im getting 60fps on highest setting on ultra :)

        • fr33loader on 22/11/2016 - 12:00

          I have a lesser setup, i5 47-something, 8GB RAM, gtx 1060 6GB…

          Still a solid 60 fps for me in Ultra.

        • theguyrules on 22/11/2016 - 12:18

          Same as me except for a 970.
          The frame drops and judder are pretty widespread last I heard.
          It runs like a shitty port for most people unfortunately.

        • KRiSX on 22/11/2016 - 15:59

          @theguyrules: i had judder initially but its been patched a few times since and is pretty sweet now

        • theguyrules on 22/11/2016 - 17:48

          @ruddiger7: 1440p but same issues in 1080p

        • ctg on 22/11/2016 - 20:02

          @theguyrules: I wouldn't be surprised if the game is using over 3.5GB VRAM on your card, which leads to noticeable stutters and all around unpleasantness on that card design (Nvidiotic design!). 1440 certainly wouldn't help either.

        • theguyrules on 22/11/2016 - 23:20

          @ctg: Its definitely not the card. People are having issues with much higher VRAM cards.
          Plus if the game is using over 3.5gb VRAM that's pretty terrible optimization.

          FWIW I've never had an issue with the 3.5GB VRAM, I'm sure I will in later years but it's been incredible thus far.

        • RazorCerb on 23/11/2016 - 09:06

          @theguyrules: Definitely not the card. I had a 970 and bought a 1070 shortly after this came out and my mate who has the 970 now runs it better than I do on an older and weaker PC. Ended up getting a refund because I was sick of the gamble after every patch as to whether it was going to be better or worse.

        • theguyrules on 23/11/2016 - 11:18

          @RazorCerb: Yeah, it's kind of annoying people claiming there's no issues anymore. There definitely is.

    • Bnjam3 on 22/11/2016 - 11:28

      There is no special PC version so the price will be same for the game on both store. If you buy the game on PC store it will be linked to your account and you can download it on xbox vice versa. I would say try getting the code from some online stores like g2a or cdkeys or try your luck with Microsoft online store in different region(Singapore maybe?)

        Obligatory "DON'T USE G2A" note. They are bad people who support fraud, cost developers money, and don't support you if your key is revoked due to said fraud.

  • bwatt72 on 22/11/2016 - 10:11

    So do you think there be some good deals to be had in friday? As have some credit to use might be good to save that a bit longer.

  • Tech and cars on 22/11/2016 - 10:14

    I still can't get it to work/install on my PC.

    Gtx560 and i7 2600, 16gb DDR3 and SSD… - quite old hardware - but still good enough for next 10 years imo.

    Something about DX12 - but quite sure my card is DX12!! Latest windows updates have been completed too.

    Very annoyed how difficult this game is to install on pc.

    • theguyrules on 22/11/2016 - 10:33
      +1

      It installed fine on my PC but it still has HUGE issues running well.
      Very disappointed in T10's lack of patching.

    • krazynayba on 22/11/2016 - 10:40
      +1

      The game needs DX12 support to run. The 560 is listed as supporting DX 12 here but people on the forums are saying that the card isn't working with it yet. So I think the current lack of DX12 support for your card could be why it isn't installing.

      Also, I don't know if the GTX560 will last 10 years. The current consoles are equivalent to about a GTX750 and even they probably won't last that long. Might be worth looking into a GTX1050? I'm sure you'll find some great deals if you keep an eye out on Ozb ;)

    • eggboi on 22/11/2016 - 11:44

      Just upgrade your graphics card to a 1060 and watch everything run smooth as butter. No need to upgrade cpu. If you still get micro-stuttering, i eliminated that by going from 1333mhz ram to 2133mhz ram. Huge difference for some reason. Didn't boost avg fps but totally got rid of the stuttering.

    • ShadowStealer7 on 22/11/2016 - 12:26
      +2

      Nvidia did state at one point that only GPUs starting at the 600 series (the introduction of the Kepler architecture) supports DX12. Sorry dude, the 560 doesn't make the cut.

    • cheesecactus on 22/11/2016 - 14:29
      +3

      Yeah…. your Gtx560 isnt going to last another 10 years.

      I dont believe the 500 series actually have DX12 support.

      Rest of your build is fine though. But seriously, building a computer and hoping it'll last for 16 years is a bit rich (gtx 560 was launched jan 2011)

      • ctg on 22/11/2016 - 20:04

        And it was two down from the top of the stack even then…

    • ctg on 22/11/2016 - 20:05

      Not going to happen. Good luck even getting a top tier GPU (the 560 wasn't anywhere near it even at launch) to last 5 years without having to seriously sacrifice settings at a decent resolution, let alone beyond 7…

      • Tech and cars on 22/11/2016 - 20:07

        I should clarify.. in 10 years I probably won't be gaming anymore.

        So in that case, the hardware will still be more than adequate in 10 years time.

        • ctg on 22/11/2016 - 20:10

          Raw power is one thing but standard support like what you've encountered is probably going to be an issue if you want to play any modern games, regardless of how demanding they are. DX12 support is patchy on the 5xx series as is, and it's only halfway down the 10 year timeline…

    Damn, just bought this from ozgameshop for $68.99 last week.

    • Bnjam3 on 22/11/2016 - 11:24

      Still a good price considering you will be having a physical copy that you can sell at anytime. The only downside of buying physical copy is you lose the opportunity of playing the game on PC.

      • timoth on 22/11/2016 - 12:01

        Considering the recommended PC specs:
        CPU: Intel Core i7 3820 @ 3.6GHz.
        GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 or NVIDIA GTX 1060 (AMD R9 290X or AMD RX 480)
        VRAM: 4GB.
        RAM: 12GB.
        Hard Drive Type: HDD.
        Available Space: 55GB.
        Resolution: 1920 x 1080.
        Windows Version: Windows Anniversary Edition 64-bit 14393.101.

        there is no way my 5 year old PC will run this game.

        Plus I have just had to buy a laptop for the each of my twins for school next year, so it may be a while before that will change.

  • tonyjzx on 22/11/2016 - 11:31

    I realise just how terrible Microsoft is.

    They dont have a bundle with just the game and the car pass. Too many people would buy that.

    Instead they have a worthless bundle with the game plus VIP.

    Or

    Game plus car pass plus VIP.

    VIP isnt worth anything to me but the car pass is.

    • lebrongarnet on 22/11/2016 - 13:02

      Can't you just add-on the car pass from within the game?

      • tonyjzx on 22/11/2016 - 13:05

        I'm glad you asked:

        base game = $63
        car pass = $40

        = $103

        vs. $112 for ultimate

        there's a $9 saving lol

        ok MS you got me.

  • kid-vhee on 22/11/2016 - 11:56

    On an i5-4690K, 16gb DDR3 1600, and r9 380 4GB GDDR5 - game runs fine on Low settings for me with FPS from 50+, with drops so far when travelling to fast against terrain (rendering speeds?)

    Everytime I tried running on medium, the game at certain points of the game would always starts flashing black screen and kind of stutters. I've reverted OC and other things for solving this, customised graphics setting to fix the issues, but only caused crashes.

    Pretty much running on Low, and will see if new GPU solves the issue

        The China store has a discount today too, Now the stand version of Forza Horizon 3 is only 161CNY which is about $33.

        No. You don't need a Chinese account. You could just use your current MS account. Once it's bought, the XBOX one will start downloading the game automatically.

        But you will need a computer running the up-to-date Win10, set your computer's region to China. Open the Win10 Store app, log in your MS account and search for Forza.
        You don't need VPN to purchase but I am not sure if Australian credit card will be accepted. I used Alipay and it worked fine.

      You've already thought about it in order to even write a response! The licensing in car racing games especially will mean they'll take longer to hit the bargain bin so that's probably worth some consideration.

        Talking about licensing cars, all DLC from Forza Horizon 1 has now been removed for purchase.

  • Yuri Lowell on 22/11/2016 - 17:09

    I'd recommend trying the demo to see if you can run it before buying if your PC is more than a year old. It does not run well on anything but the latest video cards unless you're fine with capping it at 30FPS.
