Microsoft is continuing its trend of playing nice with Steam's storefront, as they will be bringing yet another one of their titles to the platform. On March 9th, Forza Horizon 4 will be available for purchase on Steam, and will feature cross-play with those on Xbox or Windows. The game's two expansions--Fortune Island and LEGO Speed Champions--and car packs will also be buyable as well.

Forza Horizon 3 was already good. Can't wait to see this one on Steam!

Oh diving into some of the back catalog before Microsoft starting releasing on Steam as well. Gears 4 next please.

Great! I hope that this game will work well on GNU/Linux distros (at least Ubuntu) using Wine/Proton! The more of them working well, the merrier for me and other people who stay on Linux distros but don't want to give up mainstream gaming.

If only Microsoft would just make a Gears of War collection for PC similar to the Halo MCC. I'm loving all of these XBox ports. Truly the best of both worlds. I spent a lot of time last week playing Sunset Overdrive and Halo Reach!

very good game, have like 400 hours on xbox version. although, imo it has the worst map/boring map out of all horizon games. horizon 3 is my favourite but might be biased cause its set where i live

the game uses directx 12

the game uses directx 12

It is actually not much of a worry for me, because Wine supports vkd3d, which has at least basic support for DirectX 12. It may not support all of the features, but it's better than no support.

i doubt this game will run on a "barebones basic emulator", and knowing how online dependent the game is, i doubt it'll work all too well

Already started happening for Sony with a port of Horizon Zero Dawn. Not yet happened with Nintendo with any of their published games. However, they do have mobile games available.
