Gonna be good. Visually it looks amazing.

I agree! This is gonna be the top dog of racers until Sony releases an open world motorstorm game to compete with it.

Is this playable on PC without gamepass?

[iplay1up2]

Yes, you can buy the game.

"Is this playable on PC without gamepass?"

All PC games are playable on PC without gamepass, great try though, needs a little work.

[dbcoops]

What needs work asking a simple question? Is there any reason why people like you constantly need to be sadistic and sarcastic with your responses? Funny how you ignored the fact I want to play the game and I'm asking if I can without doing it through gamepass which I think I should have the right to ask without your fanboy attack. Ironic how people talk about Playstation fans when this is the kind of response I always get from xbox fanboys. Calm down dude, your civility needs a lot of work.

dbcoops, how can anyone who frequents gaming news on this site not know that this game is available on pc with or without gamepass like always? Do you need us to tell you without a gamepass sub it will cost you $60 too? Calm down its my right to ask a dumb question.

@dbcoops

As a PC gamer, like you say you are, why would you even need to ask the question of whether a PC game, will be available outside of gamepass? I mean, what game isn't? Why even mention gamepass at all? it is because it was a shadow attempt at trolling, which unfortunately got picked up on straight away.

[strifeblade]

There aren't any gamepass games that are locked to gamepass. You can purchase anything. I do think most ppl will play this on GP but if you prefer spending 80+, I appreciate you supporting the devs.

[dbcoops]

Cool thank you for answering my question with only the slightest hint of sarcasm. I don't mind supporting the devs at all in fact I think more people should.

[strifeblade]

Slight sarcasm. But in all honesty I buy a hard copy of any major release that I enjoyed on gamepass . Greedfall being the most recent one... but not full price.

[iplay1up2]

This game looks absolutely stunning! I can't wait. I will be doing some major landscaping. I hope this gets some Hot Wheels DLC! Hot Wheels unleashed, is a blast.

"Racing towards first place finish"
That's like saying you're at the race and only you showed up.
It's nice to get excited in your preview but come on be realisitc they really have the open world racer on lock this year since no other open racer will release the rest of this year and will get the another award at the game award as usual.

They have the best open world racer ever

“ they really have the open world racer on lock this year since no other open racer will release the rest of this year”

Which open world racer is launching next year that’s going to beat FH?

The Forza games have been the top rated racing games for a long time.

Heck, based on the previews, this game will likely be one of the highest scored games this year if not the highest - so they’re racing to the finish line in 1st place against all games, not just racing games.

[Good-Smurf]

That's ridiculous it's like you picking races on games of other genres that can't be compare at all and say the game best ever every year didn't matter which genre.
And my point still stands no one else is going to beat FH5 because no one but itself is at the race why not just give it the trophy while its at the starting line while they can.

[Orchard]

If it beats a game out on metacritic score, genre is irrelevant - it still is apparently a better game.

[iplay1up2]

How many other 'open world racers' are there? None that I know of. This game, is going to be the most realistic looking/sounding racer yet. It looks amazing!

[Orchard]

Stoked to try this out. Playground always delivers and the previews are sounding overwhelmingly positive.

Visually the game looks insane too.

[DJStotty]

heading in the right direction at the mo xbox, praise for Halo, praise for Forza, hyped to see their as of yet unannounced IP's and the likes of perfect dark, fable etc.
