A free-to-play spin-off installment to the bestselling racing game series known from the subsequent generations of the Xbox console. It was developed by Turn 10 Studios with PC users in mind. The gameplay of Forza Motorsport 6: Apex does not differ significantly from other full-fledged installments in the series and emphasizes simulation aspects (while still offering a number of gameplay facilities).

Forza Motorsport 6: Apex for PC is another installment of the popular racing series by Turn 10 Studios. This time around, it is a free-to-play production and the first title in the franchise to be released for the PC. The game originally debuted on Xbox One in September 2015.

Gameplay

The gameplay of Forza Motorsport 6: Apex for PC is not any different than that from the original console edition. The game is a simulator, although the developers did include a considerable amount of options that make driving easier. Compared to the original version, the PC one is significantly poorer. First and foremost, there are many less vehicles to choose from — instead of 450 cars (that we received at the launch of Forza Motorsport 6), we got only 63 machines, including Audi #2 Audi Team Joest R18 from 2014, Ford GT from 2017, and Pontiac Firebird Trans Am SD-455 from 1973. As far as racing tracks are concerned, the game offers 20 of those in 6 locations, namely Brands Hatch, Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, Rio de Janeiro, Sebring International Raceway, Top Gear, and Yas Marina. All of the above complemented by the Drivatar and Forzavista systems.

Game modes

The basic game mode of Forza Motorsport 6: Apex is the Showcase Tour career that allows us to take part in 12 events. Occasionally, players may also encounter special videos narrated by such celebrities as James May and Richard Hammond, the former presenters of the cult Top Gear television series. Apart from that, the developers prepared additional, regularly added events and challenges as well as the possibility to compete against the avatars of other players.

Technical aspects

Forza Motorsport 6: Apex for PC is powered by ForzaTech engine that provides high-quality graphics. The production utilizes the DirectX 12 technology and supports screen resolutions up to 4K.

A series of racing games created and developed by Turn 10, a studio owned by Microsoft. Forza Motorsport was born in 2005 as a Redmond giant's direct response to the series Gran Turismo - a hit from the Xbox's rival PlayStation consoles. A fierce and even rivalry quickly developed between the two brands, which continues to this day. Forza has also become a hallmark of Microsoft's hardware due to its very high quality graphics.
