Forza Motorsport 6 coming to PC as slimmed down, free to play game

Forza Motorsport 6 is coming to PC Windows 10 as a free to play title. The game will be a slimmed down version called Forza Motorsport 6: Apex according to a post on Reddit.

The post indicates that at a media event last week in San Francisco, Microsoft focused on the extension of Xbox Live to PC Windows 10. This Apex version was announced amongst also trying to expand the Xbox Live to all platforms including mobile. This Apex version will also show off the gaming potential of Windows 10 to developers. During the event, Phil Spencer was quoted as saying “The logical extension for us is from television to expanding to television and PC,” Spencer said in an interview. “In the long run, we want Xbox Live to be anywhere somebody wants to play.”

With such a large PC gaming community, it makes one wonder why Microsoft would release a "dumbed down" version of their most successful racing franchise as it would most likely sell well. What are your thoughts this Apex version of a game for Windows 10? Let us know below.
