Forza Horizon 4 is now officially listed on the Microsoft Store with all information, which means one thing, the requirements for the PC version have also been revealed to the world. Like most modern games, Forza Horizon 4 will also need Window 10 so the requirements below are all for systems running Windows 10.
By looking at the minimum system requirements, we can say that the game is now more optimized than the previous entry in the franchise because the new game requires less horsepower this time around. This is a great news for Forza fans who were unable to enjoy the previous entry due to their low spec systems.
