What is the Forza car pass?

The Forza Motorsport car pass is a piece of additional content which brings extra cars into Forza Motorsport over time. It can be looked at as a season pass with new cars being available only for car pass owners.

There will be 30 new cars added to car pass which will become immediately playable in Forza Motorsport for car pass owners. One new car will be added every week, meaning players will get new cars for a total of 30 weeks after the game’s initial launch.


How does Forza car pass work?

The newest Forza Motorsport places a big emphasis on Forza’s new Builders Cup game mode. In this game mode, you’ll take cars that have been divided into different categories out on track to compete with similar cars. You’ll spend time with your car of choice which will level up your car allowing you to upgrade it for future races.

The car pass feeds directly into the Builders Cup giving players fresh challenges across Forza’s lifespan. New cars will become immediately playable as part of the Builders Cup which should keep the game feeling fresh with a new car each week.


How much does Forza Motorsport car pass cost?

At launch, the Forza Motorsport car pass isn’t available to buy individually. If you want to access the bonus cars via car pass, you will need to buy one of the upgraded versions of the game.

Car Pass is included with the Deluxe edition, Premium edition, and the Premium Add-Ons bundle.

Each of these bundles includes a variety of additional bonuses as part of the bundle, but each edition includes the complete 30-car car pass. Below is the cost of each different Forza Motorsport bundle

The car pass extends the lifespan of Forza Motorsport by giving players new cars every week which can be used across all of Forza’s game modes.

If you’re planning on playing Forza Motorsport for years to come, the car pass could well be worth considering. You also get access to additional content if you buy it as part of Forza’s premium bundle making it relatively good value.
