Forza Motorsport 7: Demo Discussion

[ShawnPhillips]

So about 1pm est...? Seems later than I would have thought

That is what time the XBox/Windows store updates it's content. Same time of day FH3 preloading started and same time of day the updates and DLCs released.

The DLCs and expansions have been dropping at 1:00pm EST since as far as I can remember, the demos and actual games are the same. T10 releases their stuff around 10 am PST usually.

Guess I've been away from the Xbox scene for a long time. Thanks guys!

my internet is so bad i wish the demo had a preload lol.

22gb for three cars and three tracks seems insane though

My internet is so bad I have spent the last 8 hours downloading the Creators Update for W10 so I can play the PC Demo and it is only at 54%.
Update download is going immensely slow for some reason. Even with my internet it should not be this slow.

I have decent internet with no cap and even I don't know if I want to download that big of a demo.

I can't wait to try it though, even if I wont get much time with it.

 

[zr1chris]

Any way to remotely download it from my phone? I'll be at work at 1pm. It would be nice to be able to set it to download from my phone so I can have it done when I get home at 8pm...

I think it is possible with the XBox app.

Whenever the demo releases tomorrow, Google the Forza Motorsport 7 Demo, or just look it up on the Microsoft store and download it from there. Xbox app isn't really necessary for remote downloads.

Yeah, considering that's more than a fifth of the total game? Wonder if they plan something special like with the FH2?3? demo

 

[PJTierney]

There's a possibility that the Windows 10 version could be larger if it has 4K assets.

And I believe your XBox needs to be in "instant on" mode and not energy saving.

 

[Eunosthedeer]

I'm skipping the demo.

I'm happy to wait for the main game.

 

[FastBud]

Hopefully will be ready to d/l when I get in from work at 7pm tonight

Still not available for download. Microsoft is usually on the ball with releases on their marketplace, so i'm surprised it's not available yet.

[MagicM]

Bah - For me, it went from "Coming soon" to "Not available"

 

[AudiMan2011]

Downloading the demo now.

 

[Gr4ndy]

@AnimaVesta Maybe try from the link (login first to your account, and then click download on PC/Xbox) https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/forza-motorsport-7-demo/9P2XH29364LH?rtc=1 It worked for me on PC.

 

[JR98]

no sign of the demo on the uk Xbox store yet

Edit: found it by searching

 

[Dave A]

Downloading the demo now, I'll post my impressions later tonight (hopefully).

I'm downloading it for Windows BTW.

 

[RazorSharkz]

Downloading now!!!!!

 

[ShawnPhillips]

Downloading the demo now on my XBox. Though with my slow Rural American internet I likely wont be able to play until tomorrow.

 

[Nikkolaz]

Downloading for Windows. It first offered me to "push" the download for xbox, but if you get that message you can download it from the windows store directly.

 

[UnshavenYapper]
