A demo for Forza Horizon 3 could be out as early as September 11, according to a Microsoft Store online listing.
We've known the open-world racing game would get a demo just like previous Forza games, but publisher Microsoft has yet to officially announce a release date for it.
According to the store page, the demo is only listed for Xbox One and will have a download size of 18.34 GB. There are no further details about the extent of the content players can expect in the demo, however.
We've reached out to Microsoft for more information and will update the story if we hear anything back.
Late last month, Halo's Warthog was announced as a playable vehicle in the game. For more, be sure to check out how awesome it looks in 4K.
Forza Horizon 3 releases for PC and Xbox One on September 27.

SYSTEM SHOCK 3 ENTERS DEVELOPMENT, ANNOUNCES EXCELLENT DEV TEAM
OtherSide Entertainment has announced that development of System Shock 3 has now begun, and revealed the development team set to work on System Shock 3, including the people behind the original System Shock games, Thief II, and Deus Ex.
At the helm of the team is Warren Spector, who helped create the original System Shock. Spector’s accomplishments are many, having worked on Thief: The Dark Project, Deus Ex, Epic Mickey, as well as a sea of other RPG titles.
Joining Spector is design director Sheldon Pacotti, who worked as lead writer for both Deus Ex and its sequel Invisible War, and Arturo Pulecio, who serves as Art Director. Titles Pulecio has worked on previously include Lord of the Rings Online, Dungeons and Dragons Online, Dark Age of Camelot, Warhammer Online, Wizard 101, and both Epic Mickey games.
They're joined by tech director Jason Hughes, who’s known for such titles as Wing Commander, Star Wars, and again, Disney’s Epic Mickey.
As well as the above, OtherSide will be consulting with developers from the original System Shock teams, including creative director Paul Neurathm, lead designer Tim Stellmach, and art director Nate Wells. Doug Church, director of the original System Shock will step in as a creative consultant.
While details of the game are scarce, OtherSide did reveal the original voice actress for evil AI SHODAN, Terri Brosius, will be back for System Shock 3.
We first heard word of System Shock 3 back last December following a small teaser. A few days later, the team officially announced the project alongside a questionnaire asking players their preference in consoles, and whether they had an interest in VR.
As soon as hear more I'll let you know.

How To Be a PRO Gamer !!
Gaming for a living always seemed like some sort of adolescent dream growing up. Being paid to play your favorite game was something most kids only fantasized about, but now, it actually can be a reality for the truly hard working and talented.eSports has exploded worldwide, and with it, there’s an entire class of 15-30 year olds who now play games for a living. Out of the millions that play titles like Starcraft, Halo or League of Legends, they’ve gotten so good that many can make a full-time living out of gaming. The top few players in the world even pull in six figure salaries between sponsorships, team salaries and tournament winnings.So, how can you follow their lead? One thing should be clear from the start, it’s a lot of hard work. These ten steps should send you on your way.
1. Practice
It might be nice that you get to play a game you love and think you’re pretty good at. But do you love it enough to play it six, seven, eight hours a day, every day? Because that’s what it takes if you even want a prayer of being a pro. The top players have a regimented practice schedule against competitors at or above their own level, as it’s the only way to truly advance in skill. Make sure you’re constantly playing with people who are better than you, as it’s the only way you’ll grow as a player.
2. Keep Your Day Job
It’s always good to have a back-up plan, and I would not recommend anyone drop out of school or quit their current job until they have at least SOME indication they can make money and support themselves by gaming. If you’ve won some tournament prize money, or your stream gets a decent amount of ad dollars, you can look to start scaling back your everyday activities, but cutting them cold turkey from the beginning is a risk you should not be taking.
3. Studying
Like finding success in any field, it’s important to study those who have excelled before you. Watching pro replays over and over until you start to absorb their own strategies and tactics is a must. These players have been perfecting their art for years, and for someone just starting out, it’s of the utmost importance to learn high level tactic first by watching, then by practicing.
4. Homework
Playing the game for hours is good practice yes, but sometimes you might need to work on one particular aspect of your play in order to get the edge on your opponents. Word is that the best Terran Starcraft player in the world, MarineKingPrime, practices splitting marines, a complex, click-heavy game maneuver, for hours at a time. It only takes a few seconds in each instance, but it’s like shooting a thousand free throws so you’re able to come through in the clutch when you need to.
5. Community
Understand that almost all pro gamers are part of a community, and you should be too. Whether it’s participating in forum discussions or forming your own team, it’s important that you’re not practicing in a vacuum. Outside input and strategy discussions with friends who also play is important when attempting to go pro.
6. Practice
Did I mention you need to practice? The top tier pros often live together in houses where they play against each other for hours a day. That’s not something you need to do when starting out, but it shows how important constant play and practice is when it comes to trying to be the best.
7. Rage Control
Understand that you’re going to lose. Even the best players on earth lose anywhere from thirty to fifty percent of their games. Losing is a part of the path to becoming a better player, and raging and trash talk does nothing to help you improve. Pro Ukranian Starcraft player White-Ra famously had this to say about losing, learning and keeping your cool. “When I starting play, I very disappointing and very sad after my lose. If you want to make one goal to win, you must lose. You can’t win all games. We are people, we make mistake. We are not computer. And if you understand your mistake, you can make analysis of game. And continue to play, try and fix it. More GG, more skill.”
8. Balance
As much as we’ve emphasized that hours of practice are necessary for success, you need to have balance, meaning a life outside of the game. Many pro players started as teens, but now have grown up and have families of their own. Friendships and family are vastly important for your mental well-being, so don’t shut people out in favor of holing yourself up to play at all hours.
9. Talent
Understand that not everyone is cut out to be a pro player. Even if you’re good, you just might not have the physical ability to be on par with the pros. eSports requires physical and mental prowess, and the top players have to make hundreds of actions a minute at all times, which makes them play at an almost superhuman speed. It simply is not possible for everyone, no matter how much they may practice. You might be good at golf, but that doesn’t necessarily mean after 10,000 holes, you’re going to be Tiger Woods.
10. Practice
In case I haven’t made it clear so far. For those of you aspiring to be the next Fatal1ty or Boxer, I wish you the best. Keep each of these steps in mind as you play, and remember that above all else, games are supposed to be fun, even when played professionally.
