Forza Horizon 3 let a gamer race his friend one last time

Forza Horizon's Drivatar feature let a player have a somewhat surreal experience, allowing him to race against his friend who had passed away. According to user Redditsgamers' post on Reddit, the gamer's friend Drew passed away last year at just 19 years of age.

For those who don't know, the Forza series of games has a system called Drivatars, which takes race data from players and adapts it into its own AI, making it more interesting than just a recording of a players race patterns. Since Forza 5 these Drivatars have been uploaded to the cloud and have moved between games, so Drivatars from previous games can still be seen in Forza Horizon 3. It's thanks to this feature that this gamer could pay his respects to a friend one more time.

It's little tales like this, that can only be achieved through modern gaming, that make this industry truly unique, and makes us all proud to be gamers.
