I'm coming today with the question or interesting thing to discuss.
Suggest any ideas for alternative for Forza Horizon to play on Linux.
What do you suggest?
Unfortunately forza is windows-tied and will never be on steam on whatever other platform. I love this game, but have to play that on Windows :)
Any ideas are welcome :) Discuss and share some opinions and suggestions :)
Thank you in advance!
According to ProtonDB, one of the Burnout games should work. I have not played a Burnout game in many years, but I remember the original ones being a blast.
EDIT: I guess that Burnout game was removed from Steam. It's also apparently 11 years old. Ha. Oops.

Well Grid Autosport might be somewhat similar there. Native also.
I play more of a simulation games myself, but protondb should show what works, i hear Project Cars 3 is now quaite arcadish compared to previous games that were more on the simulation side

But Forza Horizon's “thing” is the open world. I'm not sure there's anything like that on Steam at all, with the possible exception of Burnout Paradise and, as 14 says, the original has been removed. The Remastered edition doesn't work with Proton.
The next Test Drive Unlimited - the series which I'm certain “inspired” Horizon - will apparently be on Steam, but the first two aren't. And it doesn't have a release date yet. So... yeah.

But yeah Project Cars 2, Assetto Corsa, Dirt Rally 2.0 and the likes are more my thing anyway.
Doesn't The Crew do somethin similar? From what I remember, those two games are on Steam and work with Proton.

Yeah, The Crew... very nice. But unfortunately I haven't Steam version, I have The Crew and The Crew 2 on Uplay and the second on Epic too. I've read on protodb that TC2 doesn't work.
On Steam I have only Dirts (Dirt 4 and two Dirt Rally's) and GRIDs ( GRID, GRID 2 i GRID Autosport).
TDU2 I have in non-steam version.
Those are games with no open world, unfortunately.
I will have to settle down with Dirts and Grids :)

personally is of my favorite car arcade games
