As announced early in March, for the first time in the history of the Forza franchise, a version of the game is now available on Windows. Now into its sixth generation, you will finally be able to play the highly-acclaimed racing game on your Windows 10 PC.

Forza Motorsport 6: Apex is not a console port. It has been rewritten in several areas, the most noticeable of which will be the quality; it now supports 4K resolution, providing your PC can handle it, along with support for DirectX 12, allowing the game to get the most out of your system.

The game is available in the Windows Store for free, and comes with many of the features you'd expect from a Forza game, such as Drivatars and Forzavista, along with multiple racing modes, tracks and cars. There are 60 cars available to choose from, equipped with 6 different circuits.
