Premium Add-Ons Bundle: Play Four Days Early
Forza Horizon 5 Premium Add-Ons Bundle upgrades the base game to the premium edition. It includes early access, allowing you to play the game four days early beginning November 5, 2021. It also includes the Welcome Pack, Car Pass, VIP Membership and two game expansions when they become available. This is perfect for those who just want to play via Game Pass, but also want the benefits of early access alongside other digital incentives.
Will Forza Horizon 5 be on Xbox Game Pass?
Forza Horizon 5 will also be available on Xbox Game Pass on day one of release. Right now Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is on sale at Amazon, so you can get three months for $37.99 instead of the standard $44.99. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate gets you online access, plus lets you play well over 100 games that are available on the service. It’s a great deal, especially since all Microsoft-published games arrive on the service on day one. That includes Forza Horizon 5, as well as Halo Infinite, which comes out December 8.
