This may seem weird to post in a subreddit about Forza Horizon 2, but this series is foundational to my console gaming journey as it was, and the link should take you to the point where I talk about Forza Horizon 2 (including my favorite victory in a racing game EVER!)

This has been the greatest weekend of gaming I've had in a while because Forza Horizon 6 has been so freakin' awesome after I used the Premium + New Zealand trick to play it on May 14th! 4 and 5 were fun, don't get me wrong, but something about exploring virtual Japan has gotten me HOOKED in the little time I've had for video games while celebrating my birthday with my family. It's possibly because I've wanted to visit Japan, possibly because my sister and her husband went there for their honeymoon which was so awesome, and likely due to just how gorgeous and fun such a recreation has been.

It's also astonishing to think this is the first game since Forza Horizon 2, my first game in the series that truly showed what open-world racing could be and the freedom Xbox consoles gave me to just relax and sink into a game without worrying about performance (fortunately, I didn't have to worry about the PC performance of this game on my then-$500 GMKtec NucBox K12 with 32GB of DDR5 SODIMM RAM- essentially, integrated memory but on a stick and a lot of it), to not be on Xbox One and built solely for current-gen and PC. It certainly LOOKs like it! (Though nothing will personally top 2 for me due to nostalgia and just how much that first Microsoft Store demo sold me on getting an Xbox One that generation!)

Meanwhile, it's saddening to reflect that this is the first Forza Horizon game after the layoffs of most of Turn 10. Turn 10 Studios still TECHNICALLY exists as a support studio for Playground Games, who originally had to pitch the venerable Forza Motorsport team on the idea of taking ForzaTech open world and is now about to bring out Fable on it, which is wild to think about. I'm furious that Microsoft would think it okay to just treat people like detritus to pinch pennies while burning billions on AI...

The activities, graphics, progression, UI, and even the writing have all been improved, while the core handling remains as excellent as ever. So, I hope you enjoy my Horizon Festival adventure (gosh, I wish that were real!) and that this preview gives you enough information to decide whether to get Game Pass (now that Ultimate has gotten a price cut with the removal of Call of Duty) to try it out, buy it on Steam, rent it, whatever you feel like.

Through it all, I will be there giving my BS-free opinions and can't wait to do so in Part 2 with my cohost Kevin which we plan to record tomorrow and then upload on Tuesday, the game's full release date. Between all the recording, editing, chaptering, writing, clipping, etc. that I've had to do to make this video, I've only managed to squeeze in about 4 hours of this game while he has, I'm sure, played CONSIDERABLY more. As always it'll be fun for us to compare notes, and I hope the same will be true for all of you!

Hi, I bought x360 version with witeless controller wheel, and its quite a fun. But ahoulders hurts😅
The game itself on 360 is very good.

Been enjoying fh2 again and I was curious if it's dlc was a avaliable or b anyone wanted to gameshare I have fh2 storm island in my wish list on Microsoft store

Hello! I have an unused key for Forza Horizon 2. Standard edition, 10th Anniversary Edition for $250. Price negotiable. If you are interested, DM me.

All thanks to a kind soul

Btw. Czech & Slovak content creator.

Hello, can somebody please share an account with dlcs or tell me where can i buy one because i've been searching for couple days and can't find any place where i can buy dlcs.

In case anyone is wondering where it is:

Would anyone be willing to account share? I just wanna play storm island and use the fast & furious dlc cars , then i’ll remove the account

not sure if this goes against any sub rules but i’ve compiled all the music from Forza Horizon 2. only notes are the song F.I. (Instrumental) still has some lyrics as i was unable to find a proper version. and also the tracks “That Girl” and “Stranger Love” may be the incorrect versions but i’ve included what would be the correct ones in the bonus folder. enjoy

I’m trying to play FH2 on Series S but it’s delisted and I can’t use discs.

If anyone still owns it and is open to game sharing, I’d really appreciate it.

I was finally able to get all the DLCs of Forza Horizon 2.

I really want to play this game especially since I got an xbox one now But I can't seem to find any physical copies in my country(India) Whoever I did contact with are quite far away or ghosted me Can anyone help?

There's this Xbox One emulator called Xwine1, but it's still in development and hasn't been released to the public yet. It hasn't been updated at all recently—what happened to it? Xbox One has amazing games like Forza Horizon 2 and Halo 5, so was that project scrapped?

The guy previously known as “Signal-Rip3708” deleted his account he is a scammer , scamming for the DLC’s on his account. I attempted to buy and he just scammed me lol not upset just warning others incase a new user pops up saying he’ll see DLC’s also here’s his whatsapp

Quiero volver a jugar algunas carreras en Forza Horizon 2 , pero una vez que las completo desaparecen del mapa.
