Experience Over 500 Cars at Launch

As we mentioned in January, Forza Motorsport launches with 20 completely rebuilt tracks from around the world with multiple layouts, including 5 never-before-seen tracks in a Motorsport game. Each feature fully dynamic time-of-day with weather, living crowds, and tracks that rubber in and react to temperature changes.

As for the cars you’ll be racing on these tracks, Forza Motorsport starts with over 500 cars at release including modern race cars. You’ll have spotted a few in our new trailer and the latest screenshots we’ve featured in this blog! Here’s a snapshot of the cars we showed today:

It would be grand to play an simcade racer on my wheel, with good wheel support. No decent, minimum good support. Life is not only about simulation racing games. Don’t quote me on that, my sweeping idiotic statements are tied to my mood.

That all said, they can fuck right off with that price. I don’t think they’ll pull the people from the fun they are still having in Horizon 5. So, in my mind, more than likely, won’t sell as well as they hope.

I assume they’re hoping to get more buy in for Game Pass? Is it even scheduled to be added on release?

How do we increase the value of our Game Pass offering? Easy! Lets pretend the games in the library are worth more! New games launch at R 89 999…

Reminds me of how municipalities value houses. They run short of money so they increase the property valuations to increase tax revenue. Does not mean the houses are ACTUALLY worth that much.

Exactly this. It’s the same thing with the Starfield pricing (R1400 - R2000 in that case!). Just as @Oltman says - it’s all a perceptional thing. Without even thinking about it, I actually said as much in my Starfield post: “Pricing for outright purchase is very high. You’ll pay less for a full year of Game Pass”.

Yip. All new MS Studio games go to Game Pass on Day One.

How do we increase our sales? Put it in Game Pass for “free”!

That said, I’ve got Game Pass anyway, gonna rock the socks off of this.

The thing with subscription models is that once you have the buy-in, it’s very easy to keep that client as the subscriptions are almost so minimal that they are “forgotten” about and seen as a negligible price to pay to maintain the subscription, even if you aren’t actively using it.

Hahaha a friend literally just confessed to doing this, he did this previously with Humble Bundle as well.

I’m not ready for that commitment though.

I bought it when they announced EOL and it was on a huge discount on Game Pass.

Looking forward to playing this. The Game Pass version that is, not the version that costs more than a year’s worth of Game Pass.
