Forza Motorsport (2005) recompiled natively on PC
By Tgames · · 2 min read
Redline Recompiled 0.1 recompiles the first Forza Motorsport from the Xbox into a native PC game, from your own disc: 144 fps, 4x resolution and ultrawide.
The first Forza on PC
On 6 November 2026, DivxPlays released Redline Recompiled 0.1.0, an unofficial PC port of Forza Motorsport, the first game in the series, released on the original Xbox in 2005. It is a static recompilation: the Xbox's x86 code is translated into 64-bit Windows code, with new layers for graphics, sound and input. The project's own code is under the MIT license.
The download contains nothing from the game: the launcher extracts your own disc, translates the game's code and compiles it on your PC.
What the port offers
What you need
Caution
This is a first version: the author warns that performance may be unstable, and that you should expect bugs and crashes. The README says it plainly: Claude AI (Claude Code) wrote and tested much of the code, together with the author, who played and checked the results. The repository is recent: only download it from its GitHub page. On the Xbox 360 side, Forza Horizon already got the same treatment.
