According to the Microsoft Store website a demo for Forza Horizon 3 on Xbox One is due to drop sometime today!

The listing that appears to have sneaked online in the past few days shows the release date as 12th September, 2016 at 01:00 (UK) which is if using 24 hour time, less than an hour from now.

No PC demo is confidence-inspiring :(

Eudemon · September 12, 2016

Well it doesn't appear to be releasing at the time the store page had on it. Umm... could still come today do you think?

Ryzza5 · September 12, 2016

Not sure, was just going by the article. Just trying to work out if it's worth a $140 preorder or if waiting for reviews (and then paying a higher price for DLCs if all is well) is the smarter option.

I wonder why no PC demo u.u

Paladin Skylark · September 12, 2016

The store updates at about 5AM PST daily, if it was going to drop, that's when it would be dropped. I doubt VERY much they'll release it before an official announcement.

So the demo is out, and so far it seems it's XO only.

Also an extra Ute and something else:

What are the Dream Machines? We’re revealing something BIG soon!

And some more unannounced cars here:

looks ok. :nods:

Bottom one... GT86? Or is it too tall? :hmmm:

Cool, so the day was right but the time wasn't. Whose lucky enough to be grabbing it as we speak? Top car looks like either an R32 Skyline or a Ute to me.

Yeah my first thought as Skyline but that ass looks too tall :hmmm: I'm leaning towards Holden ute.

CLR-GTR · September 12, 2016

I think you guys are right with the R32...:

Very well spotted :nods: The exhaust pipe bulge, the mud guard in front of the rear wheel, the flat roof and rear bumper contour... I thought it was a Ute because if the rear would be an R32, it would have a spoiler, so it would have a see-through bit between spoiler support and left C-pillar. Just a bit of lazyness I guess.

TIMELESS · September 12, 2016

Damn good call D.

What do you guys think for the second one? I'm still saying 86:

The Compensator · September 12, 2016

The 86 is in the video CLR posted.

Eudemon · September 12, 2016

It says Dream Machines so I wonder if that is hinting to legends type thing. The R32 could be that Mt Panorama winning one and the bottom could be some Rally car or one driven by a famous Aussie perhaps?

The Compensator · September 12, 2016

Now that you've mentioned it... Racetracks, where are they!!!

inb4 forza 6.

Yuh, but TDU had one and it was super fun.

Ryzza5 · September 12, 2016

Second one looks like a hatchback. A dream hatchack? I can only think a Citroen rally type car or the new Focus RS but that has a more angular front end.

I was playing FM6 Apex last night on the gamepad again, and at one point racing BTCC's around Brands Hatch it actually reminded me of GRID AutoSport, but then I actually had more fun playing that. It's funny how I've always started off enjoying Forza games when they begin with slow street cars but when they suddenly put you in the fast stuff it just doesn't feel right. Especially under braking I noticed last night. I'd rather say it's fantastic to make getting FH3 easier.

PC demo has been confirmed to come after the game launches.

We know fans are curious about the state of a Windows 10 PC demo for Forza Horizon 3. A standalone “Forza Horizon 3” PC demo will be released sometime after launch. We invite all players who are eager to play Forza on PC to try “Forza Motorsport 6: Apex”, available now in the Windows 10 Store for free. The Windows 10 version of “Forza Horizon 3” has been built in lockstep with our learnings from “Forza Motorsport 6: Apex”, which just released out of Beta last week and added wheel support. We’re dedicated to bringing the quality and innovation our fans expect from Forza to the PC, and we’re confident players will have a fantastic experience with “Forza Horizon 3” at launch.

In that case I think it'll just be easier to preorder and exercise refund rights just in case it's bad. Apparently unlike Steam the Store has a broad 30-day return policy.

Good to hear, but that only means that Win10 version will be released after consoles...

TIMELESS · September 13, 2016

Did they not say they'll be released at the same time?

mau92 · September 13, 2016

Did they not say they'll be released at the same time?

Isn't the point of a demo to try the game before the release?

Andreas¹ · September 13, 2016

To try the game before purchase, not before release. Big difference.

CLR-GTR · September 13, 2016

There are more cases of games of which a demo was released after release of the full game. If I'm correct, SCS Software did the same thing with ETS2 or ATS.
