Turn 10 announced a sales milestone for Forza 5 today, and marked the occasion by releasing a free Road America track and purchasable booster pack with new cars.
Forza Motorsport 5 is getting a 'Smoking Tire Car Pack' next week, which will give you 10 cars for $10. The 1968 Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale will be available from the start, while the rest will need to be unlocked in-game.
Adding night racing and weather effects to Forza Motorsport 5 would require at least nine months of additional work to account for new physics and lighting effects, meaning these features may never come to Turn 10's Xbox One racer.
A new title update, which can arrive as early as next week, will drastically reduce the price of cars while also increasing the rate at which racers earn money.
Forza Motorsport 5 has been overwhelmed by a microtransaction controversy. Turn 10 and Microsoft are hoping to extend an olive branch to users, especially to the Limited Edition owners that were promised enough credits to buy any car in the game.
Forza Motorsport 5 simultaneously captures the simulation racing experience and the arcade atmosphere, thanks to its Drivatar system that successfully brings a multiplayer experience to nearly every aspect of the game.
Gamers are up-in-arms about the in-game economy in Forza 5. Turn 10 creative director Dan Greenawalt responded to our questions.
75 Microsoft stores are hosting Xbox One demos with Forza 5 playable until the system launches.
One of the most significant changes to Forza Motorsport 5 is the removed focus on being first. While that may seem sacrilegious in a racing game, series director Dan Greenawalt explained that removing the need to place in first makes for better racing.
Forza Motorsport 5's first pack will be the "LaFerrari," named after the limited production hybrid car. Turn 10 also announced that the "Car Pass" to get each of the six monthly packs will be $49.99.
