Forza

In these strange and uncertain times, we’ve seen a number of efforts from brands to bring people together and raise money for charity. Several of these enterprises have used the medium of video games — ideal for people stuck at home. Racing drivers like Charles Leclerc have run charity events, and the whole of the Formula E Race at Home Challenge was geared to fundraising for UNICEF.

It was well over a year ago when GTPlanet reported on rumblings that Electronic Arts’ exclusive licensing agreement with German automaker Porsche was set to expire sometime in 2016.

Just days after a collection of downloadable content was ushered into to the wonderfully wild world of Forza Horizon 3, the newfangled Forzathon opens up an opportunity for gamers to unlock even more content through an assortment of activities.

Earlier this week, the Forza Horizon 3 demo drifted onto the Xbox One with a teaser of the acclaimed series’ third installment. Like many of you, we at GTPlanet have taken the preview for a spin (or two, or three) and, now that we have our breath back, we would like to share the five features we are most looking forward to upon the Sept. 27 worldwide launch on Xbox One and Windows 10 PCs.

Since its release on Xbox One last week, much discussion surrounds the Forza Horizon 3 demo, its stunning visuals, energetic presentation, dynamic environment … and, yes, the credits.

The Forza Rewards program, which provides in-game bonuses as an incentive for gamers’ loyalty to the Forza franchise, was recently updated ahead of the release of Forza Horizon 3.

When the off-track, open-world racer known as Forza Horizon was introduced to the gaming world in 2012, it was clear that the atmosphere of the Motorsport spinoff was just as much about the music as it was about car culture.
