Forza Series

One more Forzathon titled “Fooling Around” has made its way into Forza Horizon 3 to conclude the transition from March to April, while also rewarding players with a car that last made an appearance in the original Forza Horizon.

For Forza Horizon 3 players who missed out on the snowy fun that came with the game’s first expansion back in December of last year or a few exclusive cars along with additional in-game benefits: the time has come, as both Blizzard Mountain and the VIP membership are 50% off their regular price for Xbox Live Gold users.

Forza Horizon 3 has been a marvel for both the Xbox and Forza brands since releasing last year. The open world racer raked in a number of awards after its initial reveal at E3, and has gone on to receive not only the title of “Best Sports/Racing Game” of 2016 and the D.I.C.E “Racing Game of the Year”, but has also breached the Top 10 best-selling games in the UK — quite the number of accolades for the franchise.

Another weekend, another Forzathon, another vehicle for players to obtain, as Forza Horizon 3 has received the latest batch of Forzathon events. The challenges this time are themed around Japanese cars and features the appropriate name of “Spring Festival.”

Earlier this month, Forza Horizon 3 saw its sixth car pack arrive, bringing an end to packs covered by the Car Pass. Within the Duracell Car Pack were two cars last seen in the Xbox 360 era: the BMW 507 and Volvo 242 Turbo Evolution.

The latest Forzathon events have gone live in Forza Horizon 3. In keeping with the spirit of the holiday, the challenge is titled “A Shamrockin’ Good Time”, but the big prize is something distinctly un-Irish.

A livery editor is a fantastic addition to a racing game. It allows players to make their rides visually unique, which is undoubtedly important as the genre focuses increasingly on online racing. We’re visual creatures, after all.

Hot on the heels of the unveiling of the Fittipaldi EF7 — destined for the upcoming Gran Turismo Sport — another company has unveiled its new model not only on the floor in Geneva, but in a video game. Say hello to the Tamo Racemo, the small mid-engined sports car from Tata’s new sub-brand.

The Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences (AIAS) has announced the winners of the prestigious 20th D.I.C.E. Awards. A total of 24 awards were granted to various titles that formed the gaming landscape last year, one of which went to the widely-acclaimed Forza Horizon 3.

It’s time for Forza Horizon 3 players to prepare for another set of Forzathon events, which will be scattered through the entire month of March. This month’s events have been posted on the Forza Motorsport Twitter channel, showing new and familiar faces alike will be making their debut in the Horizon series, free of charge.

At the tail-end of 2015, Turn 10 quietly snuck the 1966 Nissan Silvia into Forza Motorsport 6, mated alongside the Mobil 1 Car Pack released just two days earlier. Not formally announced, players quickly identified that the CSP311 could only be obtained through the game’s career mode.

Racers with an Xbox Live Gold membership looking to snatch two of Turn 10’s Forza Motorsport games are in for a deal this week, as a bundle combining FM5 and FM6 is now available on the Xbox Store at a reduced price.  

Forza Motorsport 6 players were faced with an unexpected title update for the game yesterday. Continuing to build off of the foundation set late last year with an eSports-focused update introducing a number of new features, another effort has arrived with the intent of improving the game’s multiplayer and spectator features ahead of the third season of the ForzaRC.

Microsoft just posted a sales update for the Forza series, confirming the franchise has reached an incredible milestone, with total retail sales exceeding one billion dollars.

After last week’s Forza Horizon 3 Xbox One S bundle, players looking for a small dose of two-year-old nostalgia are in luck this week, as Forza Horizon 2 hits the Microsoft Store with savings up to the 75% mark for Xbox Live Gold subscribers.

February’s just about here, and for Forza Horizon 3 players, that means another series of Forzathon events. The shortest month of the year is packing in the challenges, with seven separate sets running from this upcoming Friday to the day before March.
