help Forza Horizon FAQ
Where is the first Forza Horizon set?
Forza Horizon is set around a fictional Horizon Festival in Colorado. The 2012 Xbox 360 game moved Forza away from closed Motorsport circuits into open-road events, speed traps, showcases, and street races.
Who developed Forza Horizon before the series moved to Xbox One?
Playground Games developed Forza Horizon, with Turn 10 Studios connected as the Forza Motorsport studio. The original game launched on Xbox 360 in 2012, before Forza Horizon 2 expanded the formula on Xbox One and Xbox 360.
Does Forza Horizon use realistic car handling like Forza Motorsport?
Forza Horizon keeps licensed cars and assists from the Motorsport lineage, but it is built for open-world racing rather than track simulation. Its festival structure makes events faster and more arcade-friendly than Forza Motorsport 4.
Can you still buy the original Forza Horizon digitally?
The original Forza Horizon has been delisted from Xbox digital storefronts because racing games often lose music and car licenses over time. Players usually need an Xbox 360 disc or a previously purchased digital copy to play it legally.
