Forza Motorsport 5 Getting Sixty Cars For Season Pass, More Than Forza Horizon
Forza Motorsport 5 joins the long list of titles that will be supported post-launch with a season pass. The Forza Car Pass will offer fans a discounted rate (that has yet to be disclosed) for all of the content that will come after the November 22, 2013 launch.
Currently, there are six add-on packs planned with ten cars each. All of the extra cars will offer up the same “Forzavista” experience as those that come on the disc. You’ll be able design and change the livery, walk around the car, start it up, and learn all about its history.
More details are coming in the future, and gearheads should keep a look out for pricing and release pacing information as it’s available. For more on Forza 5, check out a recent video showing off the use of the Xbox One’s impulse triggers. We’ve also got a list of five things that Forza 5 must do right to succeed.

Our Take
Season passes are becoming all too common, but at least with this one, fans know what they are getting. Unfortunately, it’s hard to gauge the value of these 60 new cars without knowing the price tag. The season pass for Forza Horizon was $49.99, and that covered thirty-six cars (broken up into six packs). Any higher, and we’re looking at post-launch content that fully doubles the price of the base game.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
