Xbox Game Pass subscribers have reason to celebrate with the latest addition to the service’s lineup—a critically acclaimed racing game, Forza Motorsport. One of the primary attractions of Xbox Game Pass is access to day one game releases, made possible through Microsoft’s partnerships with various publishers and its commitment to bringing first-party Xbox games to the service on their launch day.
In recent months, Xbox Game Pass has been on a remarkable winning streak. It began with the inclusion of Bethesda’s Starfield, a highly anticipated first-party Xbox title that garnered critical acclaim and has remained a favorite among Game Pass subscribers since its debut. This momentum continued with the addition of several other major Game Pass releases in September, and now, for October 2023, subscribers can dive into the latest first-party Xbox game.
Forza Motorsport is now accessible on Xbox Game Pass across the cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X/S consoles. Even Xbox One players, without a native version of the game, can explore it through the cloud if they are subscribed to the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate tier. Forza Motorsport has received effusive praise from critics, with its remarkable graphics and enjoyable racing gameplay. It stands as one of the highest-rated new game releases of the year, boasting an impressive overall rating of 84.
Forza Motorsport has been highly anticipated by racing game enthusiasts and marks the return of the franchise after a hiatus following the launch of Forza Motorsport 7 in 2017. The game is brimming with content, promising to captivate racing enthusiasts for an extended period. Some may find that the hours spent with Forza Motorsport make Xbox Game Pass pay for itself, as it offers the kind of gameplay that can keep players engaged for hundreds of hours if they connect with its core mechanics.
The addition of Forza Motorsport as a day one Game Pass offering is yet another testament to the service’s commitment to delivering high-quality gaming experiences to its subscribers. The question on many gamers’ minds is whether future Game Pass releases will continue this impressive streak.
