Forza Horizon 4 PC Requirements Revealed
The PC requirements for the latest, upcoming iteration of Forza Horizon (now in its fourth installment) have just been outed. Of course, you wouldn't expect these to be much different from those of Forza Motorsport 6. Forza Horizon 4, developed by Microsoft Games Studios' Playground Games, will launch on October 4th, and promises to take you to new heights in arcade racing.
Being a Games for Windows game, of course, means Windows 10 is part of the minimum requirements - specifically, version 15063.0 of the OS (the Creators Update released back in 2017). Catch up on the rest of the requirements after the break - but if you have an Intel i3-4170, or an NVIDIA GT 740/ AMD R7 250X, you're gold for the minimum.

38 Comments on Forza Horizon 4 PC Requirements Revealed
I prefer xbox/ windows games on xbox because downloading games from the windows store is a pain in the ass always gets error messages when downloading or it will restart out of no where.
TBH, my main issue is having any recommended specs without stating what they should achieve. I mean MONSTER HUNTER had a 1080p@30 rec spec. Joke and all as that was, at least you knew what the intent was for the listed hardware.
Ubisoft's last few releases has had several specs and expected results listed, I think thats the way everyone should do it.
The Xbox One X is pretty powerful
Sadly requirments wont actually say how it will look and move. At least min req. looks as very lightweight, thus maybe some optimalization?
Reason for HEDT is most likely physics (you can have thread for each car on track).
Also missing HDD space.
The CPU is also weird.... Seems kinda like buying current HEDT mobos, but slapping an i7 into it...... At least they gave you guys quad channel memory back in that day.
It is sad if game's get limited by CPU power, since you really need CPU to push data for the GPU, and in many cases physics and other game logic depends on the CPU and those are the features that make many games more fun to play and what you can innovate with as a developer. Weak CPU and strong GPU just means visual fidelity, but is there any meaningful gameplay ideas to be added which utilizes today's technology with those Jaguar cores?
At the same time we could get 7 nm Vega cores paired the new CPU, maybe amount of 40 or close to that in a good case. A powerful console would mean graphically intensive ports for the PC players like us and I'm all for that.
...On topic though, I'm considering buying this game when it gets cheaper. I like a good balance of arcade and simulation in rally games, though I found recently Dirt Rally to be an awesome experience as a pure rally simulator.
