Forza Horizon 2

Azimuth: a wrapper that runs the Xbox One version of Forza Horizon 2 on Windows 10 and 11, and on Linux through Proton. It translates the console’s WinRT calls to Win32, and DirectX 11.X to desktop DirectX 12. It’s the first Xbox One entry in this catalog. It supports game version 1.0.0.64 and the Storm Island expansion, plus the Fast & Furious one as experimental. Its author publishes it as version 0.9 on itch.io, pay what you want and without source code, and warns that rough edges are to be expected.

You needYour own files from the Xbox One version (the folder with era.vbi, Mount, and EmbeddedXvd). It includes no game files and doesn’t decrypt anything.
