Forza Motorsport is finally coming to PC and you can start playing the game from May 5, provided your PC is up to scratch of course. The game’s open beta will begin on May 5, which means that anyone and everyone can participate. The website says that open beta updates will run all summer, which might mean months of free Forza for you!
When it comes to the question of whether your PC is ready for the game however, that’s another matter entirely. The system requirements for the game are astronomical, even for 1080p gaming, but then again, the game does look incredible at the highest settings.

So far, Forza Motorsport 6: Apex did not have any racing wheel support and will probably not have support at the launch of the open beta. However, the game’s developers have said that they will be adding the feature soon.
“While we can’t wait for fans to play the game, we’re equally as excited about how Forza Motorsport 6: Apex helps us improve the gaming experience on Windows 10 for both gamers and developers alike,” say Turn 10 studios.
