Forza Horizon 3 PC/Xbox One Comparison Doesn't Show Much Difference, HDR Reportedly Looks Fantastic

Forza Horizon 3 past Playground Games is about to become bachelor on Windows 10 PC and Xbox One, at least for those who bought the Ultimate Edition: they'll become to play starting tomorrow (September 23rd), while anybody else will have to wait for September 27th.

Several websites accept posted reviews of the Xbox I version of the game, but unfortunately the PC build only became bachelor a couple days agone, which is why our review is still coming up.

In the meantime, though, YouTuber Candyland quickly posted a comparison video on Forza Horizon 3 running on PC with max graphics settings (with the except of motility mistiness, turned off for the occasion) and on Xbox 1.

Every bit you tin come across below, the differences are fairly minor and less conspicuous than what we're accustomed to. On one hand, that's a testament of how great the Xbox I is; on the other, it'southward a modest disappointment for PC gamers who have really powerful systems.

That said, there are a few additional factors to consider. The commencement ane is YouTube compression, merely the most important is that the video was captured at 1080P resolution while Forza Horizon 3 on PC can hands go up to 4K. At 3840x2160, provided you have a potent enough hardware, the graphics departure is bound to exist larger than what nosotros're seeing in this video.

And then again, it is as well truthful that Xbox One Due south owners with an HDR Tv set tin enjoy the game's HDR back up while PC gamers can't, at least for now. Unfortunately, at that place really is no style to witness HDR without having a proper display, so no YouTube video tin show how skilful that looks; however, YouTuber AngryCentaurGaming (ACG) posted on Neogaf some extremely positive impressions of Forza Horizon 3 in HDR, even going as far as saying that he's choosing that version over PC later on playing both.

I also will be returning to the console version as HDR is just that enjoyable for me right now.

HDR is as far away from a gimmick as it can perhaps exist, information technology's fantastic enough that I am playing it now versus the PC version. It's simply worth it, flat out.

It is straight up noticeable and for me equal to say frame charge per unit in how easy it's noticed and since the XBOX is rock solid in that department and has HDR, I can sacrifice some smoothness for the insane quality of paradigm.

Then again, he did say he was playing the PC version at 1440P in another postal service. It would be great to hear the opinions of someone who played the game with native 4K on PC and with HDR enabled to understand how they stack up.

Regardless, though, Forza Horizon 3 looks extremely proficient from a graphics standpoint and solid from a gameplay standpoint on both platforms. Stay tuned for our review.
