game needs ray tracing, graphics are nice and all but I'm missing DXR features

reflections on cars and environment should be RTX; usually I don't care much about RTX reflections but it feels it's a good match for racing games

At 1080p Extreme and it looks barely better than Forza 4, nothing like the trailers.

I'm really not impressed by it so far, the AA option is horrible and the performance on Extreme is bad for what it offers and like I said barely looks better than Forza 4. You need to stop and look closely to actually notice differences... meh.

I know it's not the same type of racing game, but GT7 will blow this game out of the water...

It's pretty much Forza 4 with small bump to environment / textures. Driving won't see those; you need to go camera mode to see.

That's the problem with these console games (Microsoft / Sony)... their hardware suck at RTX so PC ports are artificially limited not to make their console look bad and loose sales.

Their car showcase that has RTX is a complete joke.

It's a shame because it's well optimized and RTX reflections would of been perfect here(racing games).

Same with God of war, another well optimized game that would benefit from RTX(maybe global illumination?) to boost quality.

But still the reflections of these cars are some of the best ever in a racing game

Other issues, concerns, and tips
  • Can't play on Steam: Restart Steam to initiate Unpacking
  • Can't find DLC cars: Go to the Autoshow, Sort by Value and tab to the [0 CR] cars to collect them for your Garage.
  • Free car voucher: The Welcome Pack offers a one-time free car from the Autoshow. You'll see this as an option to use CR or the voucher when you select a car from the Autoshow. (tip: look through the Accolades and Festival Playlist for cars you can win instead of burning your voucher)
  • Loyalty Rewards deliver the cars except for P1, or only the Senna: we're aware of this and investigating.
  • Online not available: Once you've played through the initial drive, first Showcase event, and completed the first Story chapter, the menus should open up. If not, continue completing "New" events on your map, and reboot.
  • Bonus boards impossible to reach: Expanding your outposts in the Adventure menu and completing Danger Signs and other events will spawn ramps that will help you achieve elevation. Also scout the area for terrain that will serve for jumping.
  • Fast Travel: You can use the menu to Go Home for free (as well as use the Car Collection to go to the Autoshow for free), but you'll need to buy the Player House on the western side of the map to enable Fast Travel to any road point on the map. You'll still need to pay CR for each Fast Travel until you smash Fast Travel Bonus Boards which reduce your cost eventually to zero.
  • Cars not available in the Autoshow: Use the Car Collection to select each model and see where they're available. Hard to Find cars show up in the weekly seasonal Festival Playlist events, and some cars can be won from the permanent Accolade challenges. Cars can also be won in Wheelspins.
  • Locked phrases and clothing: Same as with cars.
  • Convoy "Not in Leader's Session": Ask your convoy members to park in your vicinity on the map to have them added to your session in the Convoy list.

I'm overall liking the game so far. My 2080 Super is having no problem running the game at 1440p on Ultra. Not sure exactly what FPS I'm getting since it's good enough that I haven't bothered to check or benchmark. Pretty game just like Horizon 4 and 3. Lots of strange bugs and multiplayer problems though.

I really absolutely despise the amount of crap to unlock though. It's just as bad as FH4. I do NOT want stupid cosmetics, emotes, horns, or small amounts of money in the early game. Really ticks me off when my friends are getting cars from wheelspins nonstop and I'm stuck with shirts and pants. The reduced information density on the car and design selection menus is also an issue -- too much whitespace!

I only play on the Xbox series X so I don’t have any of these stupid issues. PC gamers should give up like I did many years ago. Consoles are well good enough. PC gamers must love pain and suffering

I am laughing at all of you Spending countless hours monkeying with BIOS and driver updates and all kinds of crap for every game that comes out it’s ludicrous and a complete waste of time. I’ve been enjoying Forza horizon five cents and got released with zero issues

I turn on the Xbox and start playing no wasting of time And absolutely zero performance issues

When I want to game I need to game on a box that’s dedicated to gaming because using a personal computer has been nothing but trouble because frankly they’re not designed to be gaming boxes they just have all this extra tech and heat producing equipment stuff in there. I need a box that’s made specifically for gaming that’s fast and efficient and that’s what I have in the Xbox series X and the PlayStation five

The series X has been nothing but wonderful since day one of release. Absolutely no performance issues it runs silent I never hear it running ever not once no matter what it’s doing no matter how hard your gaming or what game you’re playing it sits there cool as a cucumber giving you ours an hours of pleasure with no work involved
