Im never going to be able to afford a VR setup but Im still a big believer in cockpit games (racers, flyers etc) is where its at for VR and more and more people are getting them so it could only be good for the game

Opinion: If you have a PC with a semi recent GPU you can buy used Oculus Rift’s for $150 bucks…I paid $800 for my setup back in the day and I have no regrets at all…
VR turns any driving game into a “ride” at an amusement park because you feel you’re there in the car, you turn your head to look around the cockpit, just like you would in a real car, in fact if you’re not used to VR things that happen in game will freak you out, like when you suddenly see in your peripheral vision a car that’s about to weave into you, you react like you would in real life, etc.
It really is a whole different animal. You can get a slightly similar feel by using 3 monitors but your view is always fixed so it’s not quite the same, but if you use 3 monitors and they are HUGE like 55" TV’s or larger, then you get a sense of the scale anyhow.
Worth Noting: When you are in VR you became VERY aware of the elevation changes on tracks, something you can’t really appreciate on a single flat screen. Like when you are racing up and down the hills in Monaco in a game like Project Cars, you really feel like you’re going up or down a hill, etc.

Im going to bump this one up from the grave, this would be a great option for those that already have the hardware setups from other games. This would be great to use the VR Headset in First Person\Hood view and be able to look around the entire car while flying down the Highway

VR support on PC would be awesome and I’d totaly try it out but I’m not sure how feasible it would be for the MS Store version of the game, since they don’t really have a proper framework for VR on there. Steam players could just use SteamVR though.

I have Pico 4 in combination with Virtual Desktop - is a fantastic experience and it would be great if we get vr support in Forza in the same way as MSFS.
It’s not a wish but a necessity in the future - driving in Forza to the horizon in Virtual Reality after putting on VR glasses.
A picture that changes depending on the movement of the head - it would be great.

It absolutely kills me that forza does not support vr when eons old games like dirt rally 2 do. Especially because forza is now one of the only major driving franchises to not support vr. project cars, asseto corsa, DIRT , gran tourismo all have VR compatibility.
I played forza horizon 5 for a bit on xbox game pass, but you know what convinced me to buy it on steam today? that there is a hacky way to kind of get vr working on it through vorpx. Racing in VR is a completely different experience to on a screen. And for people talking about hyper expense of a set up, you can get a second hand rift s or quest 2 64 gig for like 180-250 tops.
More than anything if they are going to ignore vr for the new forza motorsport they are basically guaranteeing their own obsolescence at launch.
People boasting about their 55 inch oled would absolutely eat their opinion the second they played in vr.

I also don’t get it why they don’t plan VR support. As you said nearly all racing games support it. It’s a complete different driving experience with VR. I was always a XBox fan and played plenty of Forza games even i play mostly on PC, BUT had to buy me a PS 5 with VR and a steering wheel for Gran Turismo 7 and it’s absolute worth it. Such a fantastic driving experience.
So for me it’s easy: no VR => no buy. It sucks because i played many Forza titles but i won’t go back on a screen for racing. Sorry, but nope!

Even if VR support is relegated to something like the Steam version exclusively, I’d buy it instantly.
I already use a very DIY-setup consisting of Virtual Desktop and/or VorpX, and the results were mind blowing at the start. Native support would take Horizon to the next level

Not unsurprising, just disappointing for those of us who have raced with a wheel and pedals in VR, playing a game like Forza with its semi-casual flavor would be amazing.
At least on PC you can go triple-screen if you choose.

The game is incredible and if have VR support would be the best game ever created. Is it possible?? Somebody want it??
I wish they would implement it. Gt7 is awesome in vr. And most modern simulators have vr options. I wonder why forxlza is sticking so old-school. 
FH series is my favorite racing game series so far. One thing I find hard is tracking your car while drifting in first person, especially in long drifts. In other games the ability to move your head and see how the car is sliding feels so satisfying and improved my driving skills a LOT.
Please consider implementing VR.
Edit: I should note I use a wheel and ebrake setup.
i have a triple Monitor setup and VR, and VR is the Future.
Quest 2 and virtual desktop streamer and you can use VR very easy acess even a 120hz multi monitor setup is more expensive
