Read our full Forza Horizon 2 review.

Playground Games and Microsoft have revealed the first 100 (of just over 200) cars featured in the upcoming Xbox exclusive, Forza Horizon 2. Horizon is the more laid-back, open world cousin of the Forza Motorsport franchise, and this iteration further refines the powerful engine introduced in the Xbox One launch title, Forza Motorsport 5.

In addition to the cutting-edge 2015 Lamborghini Huracán that was first revealed with the game, you will be able to collect, customize, and drive a diverse array of cars of all stripes. The’ve all been built from the ground up in the new engine to achieve maximum verisimilitude with exciting new features like functioning windshield wipers, interior lights, and dynamic dirt-mapping.

The developer post highlights a few of the 100 newly revealed cars to underline the vastly different driving experiences possible within the game. If Horizon 2‘s southern European setting has you pining for days past when European sports cars were king, take a spin in the classic 1954 Jaguar XK120 SE.

Less concerned with speed and just looking to have a good time with your friends? Cruise around in a 1963 Volkswagen Type 2 De Luxe microbus and solve a few mysteries and/or start a Beatles-inspired murder commune.

Maybe you’re sick of all that fancy-schmancy European design and just want some utilitarian, American engineering? Then buckle up, soldier, and head off-road in the 1945 Jeep Willys MB. While you’re scouring Europe for remaining Nazis, contemplate that the jeep apparently took its name from a trans-dimensional jungle dog that would help Popeye.

Best GPU deals: MSI, XFX, EVGA
An AMD graphics card in an external GPU enclosure.

Getting into gaming can be an expensive hobby, especially if you're building a new PC from scratch and want to get the best GPU that you possibly can. Unfortunately, in the past couple of years, GPU prices have skyrocketed, especially for RTX 40-series cards, and they don't look to be coming down any time soon, whether you're going for AMD or Nvidia. Luckily, there are still quite a lot of great deals you can take advantage of that will let you snag a card for a great price, and we've collected some of our favorites below. That said if you'd rather go for something that's already been put together, check out these gaming PC deals instead.
XFX SPEEDSTER SWFT210 AMD Radeon RX 6600 Core 8GB GDDR6 -- $230, was $280

XFX is a pretty well-known brand that makes AMD Radeon GPUs, so you're getting a good-quality device right out of the gate. It has an impressive 8GB GDDR6, at least for this price bracket, and will give you a bit longer life out of it when games start using up a lot more VRAM, even at lower graphical settings. While the base clock runs at 2.0 GHz, the boosted clock speed is 2.5 GHz which is pretty good, and the whole thing is unlocked, so you could theoretically boost it higher if you have the right cooling. This RTX 6600 can support resolutions up to 8K, but really, this is an ideal 1080p gaming GPU.
