Reminder: Forza Motorsport 7 Races Onto Xbox Game Pass Later This Week

Yep! I will be trying!

Why has it took this long to come to Game Pass? It should of been added a long time ago seeing as it’s a first-party game but glad it’s now coming to GP.

There were some licensing issues which they needed to fix before hitting GP.

Does anyone know if you can complete a xbox rewards punchcard by purchasing a game using a prepaid code instead of direct from the ms store?

I'm confused, I thought all MS first party studios games were available on Gamepass at launch..?

@Lupaie79 agreed, when I got GP, I couldn't understand why this was missing. @senua said about licensing, but surprised car images or music (?) would have stopped it turning from "buy outright" to "subscription" , but then what do I know

@Lupaie79 GP hasn’t been a huge deal back then like it’s now but from now on everything Xbox owns will be hitting GP day 1. They have confirmed this in July event and several times afterwards.

@Porridge2215 @Lupaie79 This game was released before Game Pass launched. Some older games were added but Master Chief Collection, for example, was included much later. To be fair, they have been fixing and expanding Master Chief Collection for a lustrum.

Thanks for clearing that up, I had wondered, but wasn't too fussed, as I'm not a huge racing fan.
But of course now that here's a freebie I'm definitely going to give her a rattle when I get the xsx !

@Porridge2215 I like Forza Horizon more but Forza Motorsport 7 launched alongside Xbox One X, they released a demo that looked absolutely stunning on Xbox One X so you can expect even more on Series X.

@BlueOcean Oh okay, I understand. Thanks!

@Lupaie79 Awesome profile picture!

@BlueOcean Yip! Banjofan since day one. Even have some signed copies of the game. Skipped Xbox One but luckily haven't missed any Banjo games, now its time to return to Xbox and hopefully we'll see a proper Banjo-Threeie. Dahummm

Hopefully. Time for a proper Banjo-Kazooie! 😁

YESS. I have been patiently waiting for this to hit GamePass. I almost bought this when it was on sale last month. So glad I didn't! Can't wait to try this one out.

I am more of a Forza Horizon fan myself, but the Motorsport games are the best simulation style racer in gaming. They have been kicking Gran Turismo’s butt since the OG Xbox days.

Just seen this, really looking forward to trying Forza Motorsport 7 on Gamepass, and just as I was thinking about buying it.... Great timing!!

@BlueOcean GamePass was launched in June 2017 and Forza Motorsport 7 was launched in October of that year though?

@IsThatATitleist3 The first first-party games to join Game Pass at launch were Sea of Thieves (that was a closed beta before that), State of Decay 2 and Crackdown 3. Game Pass was kind of an experiment before that. Forza Motorsport 7 was released before this overhaul.

I subscribed to Game Pass before that but I forgot what was on there then, I did it because it was basically free if you were subscribed to Gold.

This game has painful loading times. Hopefully better on Series consoles

Hmm, think I downloaded all the free bonus cars DLC before, so I'm ready to drive... with the Hyundai Veloster.
