Forza Horizon

About Forza Horizon

Forza Horizon is a racing game released on October 23, 2012, for Xbox 360. Developed by Playground Games and published by Microsoft Studios, it is the first entry in the Forza Horizon series, which sits within the wider Forza franchise. The game is set in an open world and can be played in single player or multiplayer modes. It is rated T (Teen) by the ESRB and PEGI 12.

Players can view the action from either a first person or third person perspective, letting them choose how they see the road as they drive. The open world is the central theme, and the game places its focus on driving across a large, free-roaming environment rather than following a fixed track.

Released as an Xbox 360 exclusive at launch, the title stands as the starting point for a series that has since grown into its own line of racing games. Its place in the Forza family makes it a useful reference point for fans of the broader franchise.
