Forza Car Pass Takes Victory Lap With 20 More Cars At No Additional Charge
Microsoft is giving back to Forza Motorsport 5 fans, beefing up the Car Pass with two additional packs consisting of 20 more cars (bringing the total to 80 for the $50 pass). The two bundles will hit over the next two months.
The first pack will arrive in just a week on Friday, May 30. That’s a bit earlier than anticipated, as the normal monthly rollout sees delivery on the first Tuesday of the month.
Once cars are purchased via the Car Pass or other real-money add-on, they can be added to the garage automatically. That means, you won’t need to use in-game credits (or purchase game currency) in order to use the new items.

Our Take
After the stumbles Microsoft and Turn10 dealt with complaints surrounding the in-game economy when Forza 5 first launched, this marks a solid turnaround. Hopefully, community reaction to the in-app purchase practices stick with Microsoft and its developers so that these errors aren’t replicated moving forward.
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.

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.
