"Forza Horizon 3" was just released and fans are already raging about its undeniably realistic graphics.

"Forza Horizon 3" is a high-quality car racing game developed by Playground Games. "Forza Horizon 3" lets its users race with high-end cars against various opponents during the Horizon festival. The only difference, this time, is that players no longer get to start at the bottom of the food chain.

Unlike its previous versions, "Forza Horizon 3" lets its users take over the Forza festival. Playground Games even added new challenges that add more action to the game Such challenges are run against trains, helicopters, and other unusual opponents. What's more is that players are offered a chance to partake in cross-country races, head-to-head races, classic car hunt downs, bucket list challenges, barn finds, and classic lap-based circuit races.

Players can also choose to roam around freely in the game, especially since Playground Games included a very diverse map in "Forza Horizon 3."

"Forza Horizon 3" places its users in a new setting. Previous installments of the game took gamers to the streets of Colorado, France, and Italy. For "Forza Horizon 3," gamers will find themselves racing along the diverse and scenic roads of Australia.

Players are provided with racing scenes along Australia's beach, farmyards, rainforests, and cities. "Forza Horizon 3" received positive reviews because of its impeccable graphics, especially when played on a 4K display with 60 frames per second or run with an HDR supported Xbox.

Though "Forza Horizon 3" is out now for the PC and Xbox One, a more optimal gameplay is said to be experienced using Microsoft's Xbox consoles, especially since the game's 60 frames per second display requires some heavy PC settings for a seamless gameplay.

Additionally, because of "Forza Horizon 3's" high-quality gameplay, PC users are recommended to wait until upcoming patches and updates provide a solution to this issue.
