Forza Horizon 2 will run on Forza 5 engine in Xbox One version

Forza Horizon 2 was announced earlier today as a cross-generation title, meaning it will arrive on both the Xbox One and Xbox 360. While that’s great for both platforms, it immediately brought forward the question of whether the game would be held back by the Xbox 360’s limitations.

It appears that Forza Horizon 2 will run on the Forza 5 engine “as a baseline” on the Xbox One, and is being developed by Playground Games. The Xbox 360 version is being developed by Sumo Digital, according to IGN.

The Forza Motorsport spin-off is due out later this year.
