Gamer Re-United with friend who passed away thanks to Forza Horizon 3

Gaming has become more and more of a social hobby for gamers and for one gamer the capabilities of modern gaming re-united him with a friend who passed away last year.

Forza Horizon 3 like other Forza titles uses the Drivatar system which essentially creates AI in the mould of a players driving style whilst also borrowing the players gamertag. This amazing system led to the touching moment for one gamer who took to Reddit to tell his story:

“So I am just cruising the Coast when I see a XBL name i haven’t seen in a while. It was my buddy Drew. Sadly Drew passed away about a year ago. He was only 19 years old. Anyways i see his driveatar, I Immediately pull up behind him and challenge him to a race. It was pretty surreal it was like i was playing with him again on xbox. It was bittersweet, but just another reason to love this game. Thank you for bringing me that moment with him.”
