Forza Horizon 2 will have fewer cars, smaller game world on Xbox 360, first screenshot revealed

Microsoft has revealed the first details on the Xbox 360 version of Forza Horizon 2, confirming that the last-gen version won’t feature weather effects or Drivatars, will run at 720p/30fps and include fewer cars and a smaller open world than its Xbox One cousin.

As detailed on the official Forza site, the last-gen game will still be set in the same open world of southern Europe as the Xbox One version, but will only be twice as big as the original Forza Horizon. On Xbox One, the world will be three times bigger.

Fewer cars are set to appear in the Xbox 360 version, too, although Microsoft promises that over 200 cars will still be available at launch. Weather effects and Drivatars will not appear in the Xbox 360 version, either.

One feature set to appear exclusively in the Xbox 360 version, however, is the return of Bar Find Cars, a series of vehicles randomly located within the game world that players can discover and restore.

“Forza Horizon 2 for Xbox 360 will take you on an epic road trip through the beautiful open roads of southern Europe,” said Microsoft. “Forza fans will be able to travel the wide open roads to cities and towns like Nice, Sisteron, and more, exploring a massive world that is even bigger than the original Forza Horizon on Xbox 360.

“You can go where you want in this world – driving across fields and finding your own path to victory. In fact, in terms of drivable play space, Forza Horizon 2 on Xbox 360 is more than twice as big as the original Forza Horizon, giving you the freedom to go where you want, when you want. And of course, you will be able to explore this amazing world with a full 24-hour day/night cycle, and all running at native 720p and a locked 30 frames per second, just as in the original Forza Horizon.”

You can take a look at the first screenshot of the Xbox 360 version above.

Forza Horizon 2 launches on Xbox 360 and Xbox One on October 3.
