    Do you have to unlock all the other radio stations before Groove Music is an option?

    Played for a good few hours yesterday and enjoyed it. Had to turn off the radio as it was wrecking my head.
    Need to team up with a few people i reckon to get the most out of the game.

    Has it couch modes? i.e. Split screen to play with friends? That's the only time I ever really played previous Forzas.

    You have to unlock more radio stations before you can use groove. Not all. 5 I think. You also need a groove sub I think. Coincidentally I had a 12 month groove pass that expired at the weekend. I had two days using it and not working now. Hoping there is some offer for a cheap sub incoming.

    With Groove, you can load all your personal music into onedrive and play it through Groove without a subscription, for free.

    Haven't tried it in Forza myself yet but I believe it works.

    There is an app called 'Forza Hub' that you can install on your XB1 and Windows devices too.

    You receive rewards once a week, and the amounts depend on your "tier", which is a measure of your playing the past titles in the Forza series.
    Check back once every day and you should detect what day you get your rewards, then come back once a week and collect.

    When you collect rewards, they appear in game as a message, look up your inbox.

    Arrah shite. Won't be looking at this any further so. I fucking hate when the best parts of games are dumped in favour of pointless graphical fidelity.

    You can online co-op if it's any use to you.

    It's a brilliant game to be honest. Plenty to do in single player and multiplayer is great too. If you have an XB1 you should download the demo and give it a shot.

    I'm on PC, with multi monitors so that everyone gets a full screen to themselves if only they'd fking well support it.

    I have literally zero interest in playing it as anything other than a couch game with my friends.

    I just didn't want to go to 30 but I might try it. What GPU you running and what detail setting?

    I've an R9 390 and it got the worst end of the stick apparently.

    There's also been a few crashes for me too :/

    I've been at this almost a week now the amount of stuff on the map is crazy. I've one big critism of it now though, a lot of the lap based races use the same or very similar circuits and as a result feel very samey. Sprints and Street races are great even on an easy difficulty in an s1 or s2 car you can be beaten on the line some times

    Running the game using the Dynamic High settings on an i7 4790K with a GTX760 @ 1080p. To be honest I'm surprised at how well it runs, no stalling or jitters.

    I just set it to 30fps, Ultra Dynamic and it's smooth as butter.

    Goddamn this game is gorgeous tho.
