An unofficial PC port of Forza Horizon 2 now runs on Windows, bringing a console racing title to desktop and handheld setups. This release matters because it allows players to experience the game on PC hardware without needing an Xbox console. The port, named Azimuth, bridges a gap for fans who prefer the flexibility of the PC platform.

Azimuth project enables Windows gameplay using DirectX 12

The project comes from a developer known as Almost There Games and relies on the Xbox One version of the game. It uses DirectX 12 and modifies Xbox system calls to ensure compatibility with Windows. This technical approach allows the console code to function on a different operating system.

  • Graphics Mode: Low, Default, High
  • Anti-Aliasing: Off, 2x MSAA, 4x MSAA
  • Performance (): 720p at 60 FPS, 1080p at 30 FPS
  • Compatibility: Game version 1.0.0.64

The port supports three graphics modes: Low, Default, and High. Low mode uses settings lower than the original Xbox One version, while Default matches the console look. High mode adds better shadows and reflections for improved visual fidelity. Users can also adjust anti-aliasing settings to Off, 2x MSAA, or 4x MSAA.

Performance on a Deck reaches 720p at 60 FPS or 1080p at 30 FPS. The port requires the original game version 1.0.0.64 to function correctly. This specific version requirement ensures that the modified system calls align with the game's base code. Players must own this exact version to use the port.
