Forza Horizon 4 Patch Fixes Xbox One X Stutters, Improves PC Performance

A new patch is available for Playground Games’ Forza Horizon 4 following its release on Xbox One and PC. Along with performance and stability improvements, the patch also addresses specific issues for Xbox One X and PC users.

For instance, stutters encountered on Xbox One X while free roaming have been addressed. The stalls and frame rate drops seen in Initial Drive on PC have also been fixed. Another issue with AMD GPUs where switching to MSAA settings would cause environmental corruption if the game wasn’t restarted has also thankfully been fixed. Nvidia RTX 2070, 2080, and 2080 Ti users can also look for the visual presets that have been added.

The full patch notes can be seen below. Forza Horizon 4 is also available for Xbox Game Pass, which offers a 14-day free trial to first time subscribers. To learn more about this, head here. In the meantime, you can read GamingBolt’s official review to see if it’s worth playing (spoilers: It is).
