A demo for open-world racer Forza Horizon will be released on October 9th release, Microsoft has announced.

The demo offers up a chunk of Horizon’s Colorado landscape sprinkled with events, a selection of cars, plus an exclusive livery for the 2013 SRT Viper GTS for use in the full game.

In addition to this you’ll also get a look at the game’s Rival Mode, in which players compete against each other for the fastest time.

To accompany the news, Microsoft has also released a launch trailer for the demo. You can watch it below. Forza Horizon is out on October 23rd, 2012 in North America and October 26th in Europe.

  • Can't wait to download this!
  • so hyped for this game
  • Time to see if us Forza fans will be let down, or our fantasy is going to be true.
  • Any other colour than pink/purple on that cover art and it would be better LoL but oh well doesn't change how amazing this game will hopefully be and can't wait for the demo!
  • So looking forward to this game. Shame the demo isn't available right now.
  • havent really gotten into a racing game in such a long time but this is looking very promising
  • Great news, this demo will be the deciding factor if I buy this game or not. Looking forward to it.
  • A free roam racing game hmm... I hope it works.
  • Also is it me or do embeded videos on this site always look like a pixelated blurry mess? Whats up with that?
  • This game isn't bad, but damn is it different from what we've seen before, unless you don't mind more arcade style racers I wouldn't even consider it for Forza fans, but otherwise this game is actually pretty great, I think I'll hold out for GRiD 2 though :P
  • This is awesome!
  • Can't wait for this now - should make the wait till the 26th a little bit better
  • 4000MSP Season Pass.
  • @4 If you do not like the cover then do what I do and go to this site (http://www.console-covers.com/) and download a different one and print it on high quality settings on photo paper and replace the original one with it. A cover is not yet available for this game but I'm sure it will be soon. Some of the covers on this site are way better than the originals.
  • @13 And what?? Doesn't really have anything to do with the demo The season pass is OPTIONAL so lets not start this debate all over again shall we - you can always post your thoughts in the Horizon forum thread if you have an opinion regarding the price of the pass =)
  • Don't plan on buying the Season pass due to having to pay $100+ to get the full package. Unless this demo wows me I'll be happy with NFS:MW. thumbs-down all you want children
  • So just Vroom singular huh? Not Vroom Vroom? I can read between the lines.
  • I do like Forza games, but the cars don't look right in this. They don't seem to sit on the road properly. Just looks like it was rushed! Demo will probably justify it, but not got a lot of hope for it tbh!
  • WHy does every video on this site has a 2 min advert first rather annoying
  • 80 second advert ffs. Looks awesome cant wait
  • That's cool I don't plan on buying this for a while (if ever), but I will gladly try the demo=)
  • @8 It works, Burnout Paradise proved that. Looking forward to this and NFS:MW. Going to be a great month for racing fans.
  • @16: And you think EA won't charge for DLC for NFS:MW? Lol you're funny.
  • Pretty cool
  • @23 At least not a season pass that's $50. If NFS:MW announces a $50 season pass I'll happily not buy both but right now as it stands NFS is a better deal especially considering how good Burnout Paradises DLC was.
  • Regarding the arcade style : there are settings you can adjust for a more sim-like control. I'm sure some level of arcade control will be necessary considering the traffic. I really hope rewind stays around too
  • Forgot to mention that I really enjoyed NFS Hot pursuit reboot but the controls just didn't do it for me. I hope the more sim options nail it here. Otherwise NFSMW will likely call to me.
  • I think the money grab for DLC is going to keep me away from this one. I've got over $90 wrapped up in Forza 4. I'll play the demo though. Wait for a few months, pick it up used on the cheap.
