Not that Horizon 4 looked bad before, but oh my does it look stellar on Series X. For the definitive Forza experience, you'll need a Series X and a copy of Forza Horizon 4.

Opting for a UK setting for the fourth outing, with locations from Edinburgh to the Cotswolds. Particularly with the regards to the game's 'changing seasons' mechanic (wherein, unsurprisingly, the seasons change, on top of dynamic weather, altering the landscapes you drive in), Series X performance enhancements make for a truly breathtaking render of the British countryside.

As one of their major first party franchises, it might seem par for the course that Xbox would want Forza Horizon 4 to get special attention, being optimised for Series S/X, but the efforts here are beyond those you'd expect: 4K Ultra HD, up to 120FPS, and Variable Rate Shading are the key enhancements provided by the Series X for Forza. Together, these three features allow the game to look better and play smoother than it does on other systems.

This is indubitably one of the best racing experiences you can have on console at the moment.
