Crackdown 3 might be off the table but Microsoft still has one big exclusive game coming our way later this year in the form of ‘Forza Motorsport 7’. Much like Forza Horizon 3, this game will appear on both Xbox One and PC at launch. If you are planning on picking it up on a PC, then you’ll be glad to know that today, Turn 10 released some very detailed system requirements for the game, as well as a list of supported peripherals at launch for those of you with simulation setups.
Talking about the PC version of the game, Turn 10 explained that Forza Motorsport 7 is ‘built from the ground up’ to be the ultimate PC racing game. This means there is a focus on getting the game running smoothly at 4K resolution, as well as other things, like support for multi-monitor setups, 21:9 displays and various racing peripherals. The game has also been tweaked extensively to run smoothly across a wide range of hardware.
There were some Forza 7 requirements announced for PC earlier this year but since then, Turn 10 has managed to tweak things further to bring the recommended and minimum specifications down a bit. The bare minimum spec will get you up and running at 720p/30fps with an Intel Core i5-750 or AMD FX-6300, 8GB of RAM and an Nvidia GT740/GTX 650 or AMD R7 250x.
Those of you wanting at least 1080p and 60 frames per second will be able to do so with an Intel Core i5-4460 or AMD FX-8350, 8GB of RAM and an Nvidia GTX 670/GTX 1050 or an AMD RX 560. If playing at 4K/60fps is your goal, then you will of course require a high-end system, featuring at least an Intel Core i7-6700K/AMD Ryzen 7 CPU, 16GB of RAM and an Nvidia GTX 1080 or RX Vega64.
Forza Motorsport 7 will offer support for 30 gamepads and wheels right off the bat. This includes specific requests from fans. For starters, all Xbox One and Dualshock 4 gamepads are supported. Here is a list of some of the other peripherals you can use:
- Fanatec CSR

KitGuru Says: Microsoft's first-party studios have really been stepping up their efforts when it comes to supporting PC. Now all Microsoft needs to do is sort out the Windows Store because while the games have improved, the store is still a mess.
Sweet I can not wait for this game to be on my PC. I have always like the Forza games in the past. I am sure my overclocked Sandy Bridge i7 and R9 390x cards will do fine with this game at 1440p maxed out.
Sorry to be that one pedant in the comments, but you mean Forza Horizon 3 not 2 lol
The only thing that looks surprising is the 16GB of ram.
No news of the TH8A shifter… Not supported on Horizon 3 on PC either. Won’t buy if I cant shift with an H pattern shifter.
Hopefully they don’t try to charge an absurd price for this unlike Horizon 3
Price and game have been available for pre-order for weeks on the windows store. It’s £50 about the same as any game these days but it’s crossplay so you get a copy for the Xbox too. 30 destinations and 700 cars, I’ve got the Xbox achievement for having every Forza since the original and don’t think people realise just how active the community is, not a day goes by that some community event is taking place. You definitely get your moneys worth.
Almost no PC games are sold for £50 on launch.
Maybe the consoles have that price, but the PC market does not have the issue of licensing fees.
And why the hell would I want a copy for a naff xbox if I buy it for a PC? They’re forcing you to buy two copies, one being a shitty copy for a console a lot of PC owners do not have and will not buy.
This is just Microsoft reaching a new low in pricing and somehow even surpassing the crap EA and Ubisoft have done in the past.
So you aren’t buying the £80 ultimate edition then with the car packs?
Don’t get angry just don’t buy it. You have no idea how long I’ve waited for a proper PC version of Forza and I have my Logitech G920 with stick ready and waiting.
Why?! Rather then wait for a game go outside or get a job!
I’m an engineer for a aerospace company and I volunteer at my cities university helping people with mental health problems. I have my boring weekday car and I also have a 1998 Honda Integra DC2 in stock condition. I race on the PC not on the roads. They aren’t forcing you to buy anything it’s the same price as Destiny just launched but you get a copy for PC and a copy for Xbox for free.
The fact that you have to give an excuse means you know it’s a bit sad. Just own it and admit you like making a man cave but that it isn’t to everyone’s liking.
I’m a bit sad and I love my man cave but it’s our secret or my wife will take it off me, I told her it was for work ?
My TH8A works perfectly on FM7
