Well yes, yes it is...



Forza Motorsports 6 : Apex Beta on PC

Running on DX12. This is on a GTX 970. Heard of better performance on AMD.

A bit limited in content compared to the console release (this will be a Free to Play game), but looks and runs very nice.

No wheel support in Beta. No multiplayer.

Hopefully one day the full package can be bought outside of the Windows Store.

Meh. I'm already plenty busy with Assetto Corsa, Project Cars and Dirt 3.

I can understand no MP support in Beta but no wheel support? What a joke.

Speaking of steering wheels, I just recently replaced the Momo I've been using for close to 10 years with a shiny new Logitech G29! I love it.

Really looking forward to this, I own Forza 6 on XBox One and love it but it will be even better on PC with triple monitor hopefully.

I also own and enjoy all the other PC sims, but Forza has an awesome variety of cool cars that you don't often find in PC sims and modeled to a very high degree. Besides the sim aspect it's terrific eye candy for car lovers and screenshot makers.

Hoping that if we own it on XB1 we will own it on Windows 10 or can access it on Windows 10 for a small amount.

The beta seems to be available for Windows 10, downloading it now from here:

Got a chance to try this out after updating my video drivers and I'm definitely impressed, flawless 60FPS after just disabling Depth of Field.

Same fun as on XBoxOne but now at 60FPS and 4X MSAA thumbsup

Really looking forward to the full game coming to PC, based on this beta it shouldn't be long.

Well worth trying out if you are on Windows 10 and have a decent CPU/GPU.

I would LOVE to have Forza on pc with my G27!
I have the MS wheel for my 360, but Forza with a good wheel, clutch, H-shifter and the Nordschleife? Friggin awesome.
Or course, the last one I have is Forza 3? 4? Which one brought Top Gear into it? The chance to run the test track was a lot of fun.

You should try this beta, there's a good set of tracks including a few of my favorites Spa, Sebring and Brands Hatch, and a small part of the career mode as well as a bunch of cars that you can unlock to run in the free play mode on any track, the handling is good on XB360 controller and hopefully will eventually get good wheel support, also allows photo mode too, not bad for a free beta.
