    Q: I'm new to the Forza series: How does it differ from other car games?

    A: The Forza Motorsport and Forza Horizon series of games overlaps the Sports and Adventure genres. While there are voice actors and named characters, as well as career progression, the driver of the car is not a playable character outside of the car. Forza
    games do not feature police, crime, or weapons. The focus of the Forza brand is on the enjoyment of driving and love car culture.



    Q: How is Forza Horizon 3 different from Forza Motorsport 6 and other racing games?

    A: The Forza Motorsport series of games take place on closed circuit tarmac tracks depicting real world locations (Le Mans, Daytona, etc). Forza Horizon 3 is an open world game where drivers can choose their own route through city streets and go off-road.
    The world of Forza Horizon 3 takes place in a compressed version of Australia, highlighting the various terrains as well as depicting known landmarks.

    The theme of Forza Horizon 3 is a fictional music festival where the player is the boss. That means you’ll be making the big decisions that affect the festival. From choosing when and where to expand the festival sites, all the way down to the music that
    is played and the events that take place – the decisions are up to you. Your goal is to win fans until your festival is the most popular in the world.



    Q: Forza Horizon 3 is an Xbox Play Anywhere game. What Does that mean?

    A: When you purchase an Xbox Play Anywhere game digitally, it’s yours to play on both Xbox and Windows 10. You only need to purchase the game once via the Store on your Xbox or Windows 10 device and it’ll appear in your game library wherever you sign in.

    If you purchased the game on Xbox and want to play it on Windows 10, sign in on your Windows 10 device. If the game is already installed on your device, it’ll appear in your list of apps. Otherwise, you can install it by opening the Store and selecting My
    library.

    If you purchased the game on Windows 10 and want to play it on your Xbox console, sign in on your console and go to My games & apps. If the game is already installed, it’ll appear in your game list. Otherwise, you can find it in the Ready to install section.

    To learn more about Xbox Play Anywhere, and to see which games are supported, visit the Xbox Play Anywhere website. You can also see Troubleshoot
    problems with Xbox Play Anywhere games
    if you’re having any problems finding Forza Horizon 3 or content on your Xbox One or Windows 10 device.

    Q: Will my game progress be saved on both Xbox One and Windows 10 PC's?

    A: Yes. When you play an Xbox Play Anywhere game, your game progress is saved on Xbox Live. So, you can pick up where you left off on another Xbox One or Windows 10 PC, bringing all your saves, game add-ons, and achievements with you.



    Q: Will downloadable content for Xbox Play Anywhere games also be playable on both Xbox One and Windows 10 PC?

    A: A single shared set of Gamerscore and Achievements will be earned and awarded for Xbox Play Anywhere games.



    Q: Can I give away my Play Anywhere PC copy or let others use it while I use the Xbox version?

    A: No, the PC version is tied to your purchasing account, and can only be logged in one place at one time.



    Q: How do I view or change my HDR settings in Forza Horizon 3

    A: To check your HDR settings for Forza Horizon 3:

    from your Groove Music Subscription, Rock On!



    Q: Can I play Forza Horizon 3 across platforms like from Windows 10 to Xbox One and vice versa?

    A: Absolutely! Forza Horizon 3 will be the most connected, most social racing game ever. You'll be able to seamlessly play different modes with your friends including in the four player campaign co-op mode.

    Everything that's in Forza Horizon 3's solo campaign mode can be played with up to four players in cooperative mode. Drop in or out at will; everything you've earned in a co-op session with friends will also carry on with you once you've gone back to solo
    play. You'll never have to play the same content twice if you don't want to and your time spent in co-op mode will always be time well spent.



    Q: I don't want to play online with PC users, I just want to play with Xbox One gamers is that possible?

    A: If for whatever reason you don't want to play online with PC players, or with Xbox One players (if you're playing on PC), you'll have the option to filter matchmaking by platform, but of course we encourage everyone to have fun with the game with as many
    players as possible in Horizon 3 via Cross Play.



    Q: I'm playing Forza Horizon 3 on Windows 10 and not on Xbox One. Do I also need to have an Xbox Live Gold subscription?

    A: No, Windows 10 PC users will not need to have an Xbox Live Gold subscription to play online or with other users racing on Xbox One.
