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.
