It's getting to the point for me where I am considering just ignoring them from now on.

They definitely should not be part of a goal oriented weekly event.

A million times better. FH3 was a stuttery POS at the best of times, FH4 is buttery smooth and looks amazing! There's a demo on the MS Store if you want to try it before you buy it, or you can use the cheap Game Pass offers to play it.

Game pass? Does that work out cheaper?

Dont you need Xbox gold as well? I no longer own an Xbox just want to play forza on my monster ultra wide PC set up.

Completed 3 twice now and getting board

Nah XBOX Gold is just for the consoles - you can buy a Game Pass for a couple of quid per month which allows you to play a number of MS titles (not a huge amount on PC admittedly). You can deals on your first account, I think I've seen deals that give 3 months for a tenner, or 1 month trial for free when you initially sign up.

There's other games on there for PC like Sea Of Thieves and Crackdown 3 but most of it is aimed at Xbox owners so the PC options are a little limited.

I've seen £1 for 3 months each month then £25 a month, do you think i could do 3 months then cancel if i changed my mind?

Yeah you can cancel at any time, I bought a 6 month one and then cancelled immediately so they wouldn't charge the £7.99 afterwards. There's no minimum contracts or anything like that.

You also get discounts on games if you decide to buy them later - I did it to get the Ultimate edition of FH4.

I see the hot wheels Mustang is in the Forzathon shop, but i already have it, worth buying anyway and selling it for money?

If I buy the ultimate edition now, which will be £63 as I have the Pass at the moment, then I cancel the pass. Will I still have the ultimate edition?

Absolutely loving the game btw.

Yes.

But you won't have the base game so once the Game Pass runs out, you'll need another one to carry on playing.

Eh? He can buy the ultimate edition (which includes the base game) at a discounted rate if he has game pass, once it runs out, he still has the game.

I don't think he does once it runs out. I bought Ultimate Edition with the Game Pass discount and I can't run the game if my Pass expires.

Edit: You might be right actually - I think I bought the Ultimate upgrade, will need to check emails to confirm but whatever I've got, definitely doesn't work without the Pass

ok, we are in winter, and i just got a new PB on a speed camera !! quite chuffed

Yeah please let me know as when my 3 months for £3 runs out I will be buying the ultimate edition

I'm pretty sure I bought an upgrade rather than the full ultimate as a game - I couldn't launch the game the other night without having the Game Pass. I think if you buy the Ultimate outright it'll be fine.

Daymn, I hope so.. £63 sounds a lot for ultimate to then not be able to play it without paying £25 a month afterwards aha.

Does anyone know how to join these hourly events?

The Forza Live thing?

Open the map and look for the big pink circle with Forza or Live in (can't remember which). Stay in the circle until the timer counts down and it'll auto-start the events and update your GPS.

That tournament was evil. I tried it in the Regera to begin with and honestly that thing just would not stay in a straight line round Edinburgh streets.
