While I tend to buy newly released games at first-party stores, Windows Store is the one that has made the least user-friendly and UI improvements over the years(yes even worse than EGS) and obviously MS has realized this as well and no longer makes its games platform exclusive.

Get it on Steam.

What's the rush for pre-ordering? The game is 4 months away.

MS Store obvs...
*You get a weekend to play it, rather than mid week when its out on Steam/Standard editions.
*It wont be full of bugs, Steam likely will be being the same game with a small API added. MS is upto something, see FH4.
*You dont seem to be a store fanboy, when all stores are the same evil DRM of their own kind.

No but you get the game on a Friday ready for the weekend, rather than a Tuesday waiting for the weekend (only relevant to working adults).

*No wheel tab for wheel users, meaning they had to use x-input.
*Micro stutter.
*Crashes.
*Lagging frame times
All via the exact same game with a tiny Steam API added. Imo MS are playing foul.

I have a better idea: don't pre-order. Stop giving money in advance for an unreleased product.

Don't give them smart suggestions. The neanderthals want to vomit up their McDonalds shekels in exchange for MSFT spankings.

If you buy the ultimate edition on Microsoft Store, you get 4 day early access. For ultimate buyers the games releases on a Friday. Steam users get the game on a Tuesday

This happened for Forza Horizon 4 because it was added lately . . . However I hadn't any problem with the game . . . Forza Horizon 5 can't have those problems because it would release since first !!!
This makes no sense at all?

Its the exact same game with a different DRMs API. FH5 will likely have the same issues, if MS choose.

Nothing to do with release date, in fact, it should've be more mature when it came to Steam.

Plus all weekend to play it, if that matters to you. I'm too busy in the week myself so Tuesday is no good. Cant wait!

FH4 is cheaper for me on steam. So wait for steam

It will be the same here.
