What you need: Your own copy of Forza Horizon for the Xbox 360 (title ID 4D5309C9), as a Games on Demand package or a disc image of the first disc; Title Update 4 is optional. A 64-bit Linux or Windows 10/11 PC with a Vulkan 1.3 graphics card, about 4 GB of RAM and 15 GB of free space.

Forza Horizon 1: ReImagined is a native PC port of the 2012 Xbox 360 version of Forza Horizon for Linux and Windows. The game's PowerPC code is statically recompiled to C++ with the ReXGlue SDK, the approach used by the Halo: Reach recompilation. The download is a launcher with the project's source: it reads your own copy of the game and builds the port on your computer, so it contains no game code or data.

The port runs at 60, 120 or 144 FPS with physics and race timing kept intact, and supports keyboard and mouse or a controller, saves, Title Update 4 (Horizon Rally and the 1000 Club) and all 23 downloadable content packs. It also brings the game closer to later Horizon titles with Horizon World, a shared online free roam, along with leaderboards, rivals, car clubs and a message center. These run on Forza Live, a server that can be self-hosted or used through a public instance.

The developer reports the single-player game played through to the end of the festival. Linux is the main platform; the Windows build is cross-compiled and so far tested only under Proton, and the launcher is marked experimental. Keyboard throttle, brake and steering are on or off only, races with many AI cars are limited by the graphics card, and players with and without Title Update 4 are kept in separate online rooms.

## How to set it up

1. On Windows, run the installer. On Linux, install the Flatpak, or unpack the tarball and start `forza-launcher`.
2. In the launcher, choose your Forza Horizon package or disc image, and the Title Update 4 package if you have it.
3. Let the launcher build the game on your computer, then press Play.
