Play Forza Horizon 3 for Free, Ahead of Its Official Launch
What’s better than an exciting, open world, racing video game? An exciting, open world, racing video game that you can play for free and ahead of its official launch.
That’s what Microsoft did with the upcoming Forza Horizon 3. Weeks ahead of the game’s official launch, Microsoft has made a demo available for free.
Forza Horizon 3 is scheduled to be released later this month: on September 23 if you shelled out $100 to pre-order the Ultimate Edition, and September 27 if you got the $60 Standard or the $80 Deluxe Edition. In Japan, the game will launch even later, on September 29.
Long story short, Forza Horizon 3 is about 2 weeks away from launch, which is a long time if you’re anxious to get your hands on the game. The good news is that you don’t have to wait that long. To give fans an early taste of what Forza Horizon 3 has to offer, Microsoft rolled out a demo version that you can play right now, for free.
"Your time as the boss of the Horizon Festival is almost here," announced Brian Ekberg, Community Manager at Turn 10 Studios. "Grab the Forza Horizon 3 demo today, get to know a bit of your new Australian home, and be ready to host the automotive party of the year when Forza Horizon 3 launches on September 27."
