Forums - Gaming Discussion - Sunset Overdrive and Forza Horizon 2 coming to PC?

Apparently Sunset Overdrive and Forza Horizon 2 are listed for PC on Amazon France

Is this another "simple mistake" or will the Xbox lose more "exclusives"?

If this is real, then what will be the reason to own an Xbox One? Will the MCC be next?

Would be nice, but probably just a mistake.

Tho MS did release FH2 on X360 so they clearly don't care about pushing hardware adoption with that game. And they did have that demo of Forza running on DX12 on PC, tho that might have just been them trolling.

Check out my hype threads: Cyberpunk, and The Witcher 3!

really wish people would stop taking listing errors as indicators, sure every blue moon it turns out right but 90% of the time it isnt



Its not like MS hasn't done this before.



Probably a mistake again.

Well if this turns out to be true then I'm definitely selling my Xbone , if every Xbox exclusive just ends up on PC then I really only need a gaming PC and PS4 this gen. That's IF this is true though.

Well Windows is their platform, its not surprsing when they allow a developer to support it.

Anyhow, let me entertain this for a moment. Both are great games but aren't system sellers. So if they come to Windows, great. More people can play them.

Could be a mistake.

If it isn't, then the implications are fairly relevant for the Xbox brand, given the performance to date of the XBO.

I'm looking at the Sunset Overdrive numbers and am having a hard time believing those are actually correct. Even accounting for the number of bundles that don't count towards that total, and digital sales that similarly, don't count towards the total, 91k seems extremely low for a significant console exclusive that has marketing behind it.

That makes it an extremely hard sale for third party developers to produce XBO exclusives without some pretty heavy financial incentives from MS. Even with subsidizing, the number of units potentially being sold could be considered too low to accept.

Publishing on Windows could reduce some of that risk, but I personally don't see how moving from a single console exclusive deal to a MS platform deal would improve the allure of keeping products off the PS4. Realistically speaking, a Xbox/Windows exclusive deal is essentially a "don't publish on Playstation deal."

Yea, but they don't own Steam, neither do they manufacturer high end PC parts. So how do they really benefit?

If you want to get technical they would benefit from selling FH2 seeing as they own the ip, I don't know how the Sunset Overdrive breakdown would work.

On another note I'm sure this is a mistake, becuase if you look at the cases of XB1 games it basically tells the story. Halo MCC and Sunset Overdrive have only on XB1 on the case, while FH2 has only on Xbox on the case. Games like Ryse and DR3 had no such banner on the case.
