Looks really good, although Mexico seems kind of an odd choice for the in game location.

I wonder if this will be eventually released for pc or remain an xb exclusive

I have not played FH4 yet.

Dude, it's a racing game. There is no story as such that will be continued.

You should play though if you are in to arcade racers , it's a heck of a game imo

I just hope FH5 on steam gets regional pricing, I'd likely buy it at launch if that's the case.

See if you getting 3 months of XGP ultimate for 50, get that & try it.

LOL I know but didn't mean to focus on Story though.

The last racing game I played was NFS Payback

So, I had bought that 32 months of XGP ultimate for 2.5k before it was patched out & bought premium addons pack for FH5 (I was planning premium edition in steam anyhow, but then XGP happened). Have started playing, the game looks beautiful.

My i7 8750H + RTX 2060 80W + ext monitor gives me 63fps in benchmark run at 1080p ultra. The benchmark is more stressful than usual, mostly I get 70-80fps easily when in-game.

Some minor bugs:

• Mouse pointer doesn't disappear
• In some areas near volcano, the draw distance isn't optimized well, attached pic below.
• Sometimes it crashes - Fix: run the game as administrator & keep BitDefender's advanced threat defence off (maybe some other AVs will affect it as well, not sure). I run the game as admin every time, the game didn't crash again yet.

Major issue: Online is broken completely

Thats great how is the xbox downloader now? I was planning to get XGP but i cant download 100GB's in one go so passed on it.
You getting low fps considering you have 2060

It should still be shit. I'm not in a rural area, so not an issue for me. My 2060 is laptop variant that too 80W. RTX 3060 laptops are getting like 80fps at 1080p ultra. Considering IGN got ~80fps with desktop 2060S, my results are solid:

After playing for a few more hours, I feel the texture draw distance issue is more prominent than I initially thought. Hopefully it gets an update next week with fixes.
