Forza Horizon 3 is on the horizon! As the game is scheduled for the release next Saturday, everybody is getting ready for the big day. Microsoft announced a few launch events for this weekend, while hardware manufacturers are tirelessly working to optimize their components for this highly demanding game.
To promote the newest member of Forza Horizon family, Microsoft will organize launch events on Saturday, September 24. Launch events are going to be held in every Microsoft’s retail store across the US. Additionally, a standalone launch event will take place at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles.
“Fans are invited to their local Microsoft Store to enjoy snacks, preview the game and the Ultimate Edition and compete in a Forza Motorsport 6 gaming tournament for Xbox prizes – including a free copy of the new Forza Horizon 3. Almost everyone that pre-orders – in-store or online – can enter to win a Polaris RZR XP 1000, as seen in the game, by showing proof of purchase at a Microsoft Store during the event to receive a digital code that will be entered for the sweepstakes. The winner will be chosen and announced via Twitch live from the event at the flagship Microsoft Store located on Fifth Avenue,” states Xbox Wire.
