Porsche

Hot on the heels of the news of PC-based Apex spin-off, Turn 10 unleashed the long-awaited Porsche Expansion Pack for Forza 6 today. The pack spans six decades of the storied marque’s history, from the 1955 550A Spyder to the Le Mans-winning 2015 919 Hybrid. It also ups the track count, introducing Virginia International Raceway to the lineup with seven different layouts, as well as both night and rain variations.

Hot on the heels of an early DLC pack release, Amazon has showed Turn 10’s hand for the long-awaited return of Porsche to the Forza Motorsports series.

Hot on the heels of Wednesday’s FM6 Garage reveal, Turn 10 has announced a free two-car bonus pack for their current game. While the ten car Porsche pack from last month cost users money, this pack is free. The catch? You only have until next Friday, July 24th, to download it (through the One’s Forza Hub app). After that the pack won’t be available for download, but the cars will stay in your garage.

For the past 15 years, Porsche gaming fans haven’t had much to get excited about. The famous German marque rarely appears in video games thanks to a special, strange exclusivity contract with Electronic Arts. Not much is known about the details of the agreement (IGN went in-depth on the topic earlier this year), but to summarize: a video game can’t include a Porsche without EA’s blessing.

EuroGamer has published a lengthy and comprehensive interview with Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi, discussing everything form his childhood, his philosophy on life, motorsports, Gran Turismo, and just about everything in between.
