Microsoft has sweetened the pot for Xbox Game Pass owners who aren’t decided about getting either Forza Horizon 4 or Forza Horizon 5 with the Forza Horizon 4 + 5 Premium Upgrade Bundle, on sale for only two weeks.
Currently on sale for half off, Microsoft offers an incredibly great deal for members with the upgrade bunble, though if you don’t have a Game Pass account, you may not completely understand.
Forza Horizon 4 and Forza Horizon 5 are two of Microsoft’s most successful games in the Forza Horizon franchise. Forza Horizon 5 can be referred to as the true breakout game, hitting 18 million players earlier this year. Its predecessor, Forza Horizon 4 was itself a critical darling and a huge commercial hit, reaching 24 million players as of 2022 as well.
Of course, the Forza Horizon games are also a signature Microsoft franchise. Both games are a huge part of the Game Pass package. Whichever tier of Game Pass you choose, you get both games gratis, presumably for as long as Game Pass exists. While the older Forza Horizon games have been delisted, Forza Horizon 4 or Forza Horizon 5 are comparatively far more recent that they are not expected to get delisted any time soon. Microsoft does own the games, but the older Forza Horizon games got delisted because licenses on cars and tracks ran out, a situation that comes up with other racing games as well.
Now, the thing is, both Forza Horizon games are great on their own, but their DLC packages are what really elevate them to must play racers. With all that in mind, the Forza Horizon 4 + 5 Premium Upgrade Bundle is a cheap way to get the complete Forza Horizon package.
