Forza Horizon 3 PC - Multiplayer Question

I couldn't find the answer online and hope someone can point me to the right place.

I used it own an Xbox 360 but never got an Xbox One but I'm very interested in buy Forza Horizon 3 for my PC.

Will I be able to play online or must I also buy Xbox Live Gold?

If I buy an $80 game (Canadian) I'm not going to spend another $60 on buying Live just to play it online.

It will be a real shame if this is necessary for PC gamers that want to just pickup one Microsoft game.

Xbox Play Anywhere Clarification

It's up to the developers - for example GoW4 will allow PC/XB1 CO-OP play, not competitive multiplayer.

Meanwhile Forza Horizon 3 will support PC/XB1 in all game modes.

 

Xbox Live (WINDOWS 10 XBOX)

Hi, I will show you what's my problem.

I'd like to buy Forza Horizon 3 for PC by microsoft store, but I don't own a xbox one. So my question is if I need to pay xbox live for play Forza Horizon 3.

 

If you want to play the game online multiplayer then you will need to have a Gold membership.

 

I don't think that's correct unless they've changed it, do you have a source?

I found this from Major Nelson:

Thanks for the link. I may have been mistaken but I will be sure to do some checking around.

 

It appears that the link you posted is correct. Sorry for the misinformation I have updated my memory bank with the correct information.

Happy Gaming!!

 

Hey Blood Toxin, that information is still current. You won't need Gold for online play on a PC. Gold is only a requirement on Xbox One and Xbox 360.

With Forza Horizon 3 specifically, you would be able to play with Xbox One players both in campaign/co-op and multiplayer competitive without paying for Gold.
