<h2>Forza Horizon (Post-Release Profiling Build)</h2>

<p>
This build was recovered from the same XDK HDD that contained the <strong>May 2014 prototype of Forza Horizon 2</strong>. 
The build had been fully deleted and had to be reconstructed from multiple clusters. 
It is a <strong>post-release profiling build</strong> (nearly a year after the initial release of Forza Horizon) 
and was likely used as a performance and visual reference by <em>Sumo Digital</em> during the development of Forza Horizon 2 on Xbox 360.
</p>

<p>
Some files were missing or could not be fully recovered; in those cases, the files included here are from either the retail build 
or the May 2014 prototype. As far as I can tell, the rest of the build is intact and runs perfectly.
