"But that’s not all. In Forza Horizon 3, we can ensure that you are driving to the music that you love with the brand new Groove Radio station. Groove Radio lets players stream their own personal music collection from the cloud – just add your music to your OneDrive, create a playlist in Groove Music on Windows 10, and Horizon 3 will stream that playlist into your game on Xbox One and Windows 10."

This has been my most desired feature. Music in the background is one thing, but for my music to be mixed in game is what I've wanted since traversing Colorado.

SSX did this a few years ago. I'm a trance and progressive kind of guy, so shredding the slopes to pulsing beat and melodic tunes added an entirely new level of pleasure for me over the R&B and Hip Hop soundtracks.

So now with Horizon 3 letting us finally enjoy our own music mixed in game is brilliant. Will make that completionist grind all the more refreshing.

This was such a surprise to see in the news story. Can't wait to load up my songs into the game and just keep driving.

OneDrive music is going to be a great feature! Forza Motorsport 2 music here I come!

i wonder if they will the radio guy/girl voice-over our music to alert you of upcoming events, weather, etc...

Hopefully the 'music off' option will continue as well.

Very happy for this feature. Can now listen to K-pop tunes as I drive, haha

I assume that means "add music to OneDrive" + Music you have bought from the Microsoft Store, will be playable through the ingame radio! I mean I have "some" I added to OneDrive but the majority of the music I bought was from the Microsoft Store.

gonna death metal/ heavy metal down the roads and TOOL it up in the forest/beach ect cross country stuff. Another great addition, another use for my hundreds of gigs of music. Can't wait!

It would be hilarious if their obvious Groove Music product placement doesn't actually support Groove Music subscriptions.

Can you only do this through Windows 10? I have an older laptop that only goes to Windows 7. Plus, I only use spotify so it's unlikely I'll be able to use my spotify playlist at all haha, which would suck.

Windows 10? Yet another way that Microsoft will continue forcing 10 on people. Hopefully someone will be able to find a workaround since OneDrive is not exclusive to Windows 10. Of course, Groove probably is exclusive to Windows 10, so i probably won't bother wasting my time creating playlists.

This will be good and can add the music i want and not what the developers gave us :)

I'm going to be having a mixture of the Motorstorm soundtracks, Pendulum, Faithless, Qemists, as well as some cheeky Eurobeat:

lol Initial D music

Actually that is true. what about the people with the groove music pass? will it shuffle the music every time you play the game? can you choose which types of music you can play?

I'm actually wondering since it says playlists if we can have multiple ones. Like a 90's one and the a Rock one and so on..

I really hope we can create multiple playlist. i dont think that would be much of a work for the developers

Give me what i want, give me what i neeeed

Hmmm here is an idea, since this is the most social Forza ever, how about being able to play from your friend's OneDrive? And of course also see the mp3 tag info in the game?

I love discovering new music and the FH2 radio stations have done their fair share of that. In FH3 they will do the same again but how cool would it be if I could send in-game a Groove Station share request to a friend? And when he accepts my Groove channel would stream music from his or her OneDrive. That would be awesome IMO.

Mmm.... Initial D's Euro beat and m.o.v.e songs here I come!

So, can Music from Spotify or ITunes be uploaded to groove? And also, after they are uploaded to my PC will they transfer to my Xbox One?

So am I gonna have to get a paid subscription to Groove to use this? I hope not, but if I have to pay for it to listen to Chic while I'm driving, then I just might do it.

Groove and OneDrive FAQ

Do I need a Groove Music Pass to play music from OneDrive?
No. A Groove Music Pass is not required to play your OneDrive music. It's free!

what about places where groove music isnt available? i'm from singapore and groove music is not available here so will this feature still be available?

Forza 2-3-4 soundtracks as well as Gorgon City and Tchami are going on groove for me :-)
