After over ten years of Xbox exclusivity, the Forza Motorsport franchise is finally making the jump to PCs with Forza Motorsport 6: Apex, the free to play version of the sixth entry in the franchise, which released on Xbox One last year. Forza Motorsport 6: Apex is going to be the first time PC players get to play Turn 10’s genre defining racing sims- and they’ll get to go hands on with the PC debut of the franchise sooner than they expected.
Apex will be entering open beta starting next week, on May 5. This means that starting Thursday, as long as you have a PC running Windows 10, you can download the beta client for free and see how the new free to play structure translates to a game like Forza.
The requirements necessary to run the game are:
