Forza Horizon 3 Windows 10 Demo Now Available

Seems that Microsoft is looking to entice PC owners who might want to try Forza Horizon 3. Windows 10 players can now get a taste of the epic automotive adventure with the launch of the Windows 10 demo of Forza Horizon 3. The Forza Horizon 3 Windows 10 PC demo is available in the Windows Store for no additional charge.

In Forza Horizon 3, you’re the boss of the Horizon Festival – the biggest and best cars and music festival in the world. Your goal is to expand the festival to new locations throughout Australia and you’ll get your first taste of what that experience is like in the demo. Along the way, you’ll be able to explore a portion of Forza Horizon 3’s map, while taking a guided tour through some of the best features that the game has to offer.
