Free Game Alert: Forza Motorsport 6 Apex Exits Beta, Adds Wheel Support
Add one more title to the list of new video games that you can play as of this month.
Microsoft just announced that 'Forza Motorsport 6: Apex' reached an important milestone in its development: the racing video game shed its Beta tag and is now available as a full-fledged product for Windows 10 customers.
The game is still offered for free via the Microsoft Store.
The fact that 'Forza Motorsport 6: Apex' graduated out of Beta is, without a doubt, great news. It’s not the greatest news though. What could be better than this? Why the fact that you can finally play this racing game with a steering wheel.
"We’re extremely excited to announce that today’s content update for Apex will bring wheel support to the Forza Motorsport series on Windows 10 for the first time," said Brian Ekberg, Community Manager at Turn 10 Studios. "This is a major landmark for the Forza series on Windows 10 and has been the result of months of hard work from the Turn 10 and Windows teams."
Supported steering wheels
Support for more wheels will be added in the future.
Late this September, the game will get support for Fanatec wheels.
H-pattern shifters are not supported for the Logitech G29 Racing Wheel. Support will be added at a later time. Support for H-pattern shifters from other manufacturers will be added in the future.
