Forza Motorsport 5 , as a launch day release for the Xbox One, impressed with its stellar visuals and proved what we can expect from racers in the next-gen. Luckily (if you already own the game or plan to get it soon) you’ll be in for some nice little perks.
Community Manager Brian Ekberg posted an update touting all the great things they’ll soon be bringing to fans of Forza 5 . The memo is extensive, so here are just the bullet points:
- Starting this Friday we’re offering a 50 percent discount (credits & tokens) on every car in the game. This discount is available to all players.
- If you are a Forza Motorsport 5 VIP member, you’ll receive the 2013 Lotus E21 grand prix car as a thank you. (Note: You must own Forza Motorsport 5 VIP membership to take advantage of this offer.)
- Those players who have already purchased the 2013 Lotus E21 as of today (Wednesday, November 27) will also receive the 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO as a further thank you.
- For those players who have purchased the LaFerrari Car Pack or the Forza Motorsport 5 Car Pass we’ll gift the 2013 LaFerrari directly into your Forza Motorsport 5 garage. No need to purchase the car separately with in-game credits or tokens.
- Finally, we’re dramatically increasing the credit payout available to all Forza players in December via Forza Rewards, our ongoing loyalty program that rewards players with credits and cars for playing Forza games.
Also, there was a discrepancy in the amount of tokens it would cost to purchase certain cars in the game, and as a result, the Forza guys are making amends. “We told you that Limited Edition owners would get 1,250 in-game tokens, which we mistakenly said would be enough tokens to afford any car in the Forza 5. It isn’t…We’re sorry. In order to make up for this discrepancy, we will soon be offering Forza Motorsport 5 Limited Edition owners the chance to download and own the car of their choice in the game.”
