Forza Horizon 3 is at its best when it lets your friends take the wheel

Microsoft has found itself with one of the more unlikely annual-release franchises in Forza, and yet the publisher has also discovered a way to keep that series feeling fresh.

After delivering Forza Motorsport 6 in 2015, Microsoft is racing the open-world mixed-discipline Forza Horizon 3 onto your Xbox One and PC on September 27. The third entry in the Horizon spinoff brings its brand of anything-goes driving to Australia this time around, and that makes for the most diverse setting yet for Forza’s automotive mayhem.
