This spring
Apparently it's going to be a dumbed down release. But the future looks promising according to what Phil Spencer (Head of Xbox) says.
So more Forza for the PC in the future made specially for the PC? Can't wait

PCG: Why do that specifically? Why make the free curated version rather than just Forza 6?
We?re very transparent on this one. We shipped Forza 6 obviously in the fall on Xbox One, and the team started to look at could they build a 4K version of Forza with the assets that they had, because they capture and build their cars and tracks at very high resolutions. With their engine they were already supporting DirectX, obviously, from Xbox, so they were able to bring up the engine and bring up the assets, and show something that frankly when you see it is just stupidly stunning. It looks great. But we don?t think Forza 6 is what the PC racing fan thinks of as a racing franchise. If you look at the racing franchises that are on PC today and do incredibly well, they?re not, kind of, $60 shrinkwrapped products the way we built Forza 6.
This is a good example of, you know, I?m not trying to make all games the same everywhere you go. So we're going to learn. We?re going to put Apex out there and people are going to give us feedback about what they like and what they don?t like. I wouldn?t say it?s a model for how we would do PC Forza in the future, but it?s a great opportunity for us to get it in the hands of people, allow them to play?as you said, it?s free, so we?re not charging people to go play it?and get the feedback from the PC gaming community around here?s what they like and here?s what they don?t like. I think we have something to offer, because I think we have?frankly this is a boast?but I think we have one of the best racing studios on the planet in Turn 10. But we didn?t build Forza 6 with the idea that it would go to PC, so instead of kind of creating the wrong experience for the PC community that?s there, we chose to do something less expensive for the customer and, to be honest, an experiment by us on what we could do.
