Whether you have it or not it doesn’t matter, because i have some cool news for you. Microsoft and Turn 10 Studios today announced the release of the Forza Horizon’s SmartGlass Experience, which is a free download for Windows 8 PCs that allows players to extend their racing fun within the game.

Via the Forza Horizon SmartGlass Experience, players can instantly access the entire map of Colorado. Using familiar navigation gestures like pinch to zoom, players can explore the interactive map and set waypoints simply by tapping the desired location on the screen. Once a destination is chosen, that waypoint is automatically set in the game and new route directions are presented to you.

In addition, as with the in-game map, the SmartGlass Experience includes locations of special items such as smashable upgrade discount signs, new race events, and more. Through a robust set of filters, players will be able to quickly find exactly the event or item they are looking for with just a few swipes of their fingers With no need to pause the game in order to access the in-game map, the SmartGlass Experience that is available for the game offers new players a chance to familiarise themselves with the open world of Colorado, and offers experienced drivers an edge over the competition to be the king of the road.
