[XSX] Forza Horizon 6 $84 ($74 after $10 Newsletter Voucher) Delivered / C&C @ Target

Seems to be the lowest day 1 price, even before the $10 newsletter voucher.

Yes, it’s on Game Pass Ultimate, but I’m sure there are others like me who want a physical copy instead.

  • This isnt a play anywhere thing how I can buy it and use it on PC?

    • +4

      You want the digital Xbox version to make use of play anywhere between pc and console. RRP is crazy even for standard edition. I ended up getting it for $80AUD on a key website but that’s not typically recommended and YMMV.

    • There is talks that disks on xbox will one day be able to transfer to a digital copy.

      • How's that gonna work? Would mean I could just go borrow a disk from someone and get a free digital copy.

        • +2

          Microsoft will show up at your door after you activate and scratch the disk with their car keys

        • Dunno. Maybe somehow the disk becomes void after transferring to digital. Or they might request the physical disk to be sent to them. Dunno. Its rumour for now.

      I haven't even played my copy of forza 5 and still playing through Forza Horizon 4 lol

      • You didn't miss anything with 5, the only good part is off-roading being better due to all the desert.

    Damn good game. Have been playing it for over 36 hours since Friday. Will play a bit more but beyond that, I am waiting for the weekly featival playlists to start, which starts May 21.

    This once of those fee games that I have no regrets dropping the cash down for the premium edition let alone paying full price at launch fornthe standard.

    • Same here.

    • The map is so good

  • +1

    Yes, it’s on Game Pass Ultimate, but I’m sure there are others like me who want a physical copy instead.

    Unless you've got an S, even if you're 99% digital like me, buying this once for 74 beats paying 26 to rent it per month (36 a couple weeks back, moreso)

    Nice one OP. Signed up, and used Bupa 4% off for a $50 gift card, bringing this to $72 out of pocket.

    Considering I put 300 hours into FH4, and probably a 100 hours into Horizons 1, 2, and 3, I think this will represent good value for money.

  • was it cracked already?

      • Yeah what a shame.

      • +1

        Wrong, they banned 1 streamer who streamed a modded version of the leaked preview build, and said they'd ban anyone else accessing the leaked preview build. But the proper release (premium edition / advanced access via steam) has been cracked.

    Feels like the best horizon yet, only a couple hours in though so it might get stale but it's looking great so far. The map and graphics are amazing, cars feel good, story is as bland as ever though.

    • 30mins in gives you a choice between a Celica gt-four, 86 and a… RAM. American licencing is always the bane of these games and it's weird script.

      Did like that I unlocked the Centenario from owning 3 back in the day, still got my ozbargain model that was $20

      • I chose the Celica but the other two also ended up in my garage.

  • Still just hanging out waiting for the PS5 version release date. I can get it on PC, but I'd like to play it on the bigger screen in the lounge room.

    • I heard it is due sometime in September

    • hey mate look into sunshine/apollo and then load moonlight onto your smart tv/Apple TV. works very well!

  • Would playing this online via Steam (PC/Steam Deck) be a worse experience due to hackers compared to playing on console?

    I’m not sure how much of an issue it still is, but in the past, any online multiplayer game like Call of Duty or NBA 2K on PC tended to have far more hackers compared to PlayStation or Xbox.

    I don't really use my Xbox/PS5 anymore, as it's more convenient to just use my PC and Steam Deck (being portable), but I also don't want to jump online only for it to be a hacker fest.

    • +2

      Most hackers just hack their player level or CR to get cars. Or they race solo to create insane records on the tracks. Online racing against players is normally ok as you can report and hackers will get banned. But that being said, ppl are serious when they are online. They just fast as hell and I could never win against real players.

      The game is crossplay between PC & Xbox so not really. If you bought the digital version on the Microsoft store it's "play anywhere" so you can use it on your Xbox and your PC and the savegame cloud syncs. Steam version is Steamdeck Verified though so if you do think you'd use the deck more than your Xbox then Steam is the way to go.

    • +1

      This on steam deck is not that great at the moment. Both OLED and lcd do not look or run that great

      • +1

        Sounds like it needs some serious work for Linux, so we might see big improvements in future Proton versions/MESA drivers as the fixes trickle down.

        • I’d say so, the frame dips it gets it’s ridiculous. The benchmark looks like a yoyo for me on SD

          • +2

            @JMxoxo: After some digging, it's smashing the CPU and underutilising the GPU (definitely some sort of physics/world bug).

            Limit GPU speed to like 900 MHz (30 fps) or 1100 MHz (40-45 fps) and it smooths out the frame times a LOT.

            • @Erwark: Oh thanks heaps, I’ll try it tonight.
              I don’t know what it is with Forza horizon games and being so cpu intensive. I remember FH3 having cpu issues with the city too

  • If I buy the physical copy which is standard edition, can I purchase the premium add on bundle in the online store?

    • +2

      Almost certainly yes. At the bottom of the description of the Premium Upgrade Bundle, it says:

      *Requires Forza Horizon 6 game, or Game Pass (Ultimate or PC) subscription, all sold separately.

      So it says you need the game (unspecific of digital or physical) OR Game Pass Ultimate.

  • Any idea if they come sealed or are they open like EB?

    • +1

      Mine just arrived from this deal and it’s plastic wrapped.
