Forza 5 Update Lets You Immediately Access the Car DLC You Purchased

[Shawn Zipay]

In the past, if you purchased new DLC cars with real currency in a Forza title, you were not given immediate access to those cars. Instead, the DLC purchase simply allowed you to purchase the cars using in-game currency when you had enough money to do so. Now, with a new content update for Forza 5, it finally looks like Turn 10 is going to fix this rather asinine idea for good.

With our most recent content update for Forza 5, I’m excited to say we’ve made some fundamental improvements to the Forza 5 experience for our fans. As of today, players who have purchased DLC cars in Forza Motorsport 5 can add those cars to their Forza 5 garage immediately, at no additional in-game cost. And, moving forward, when you buy a Season Pass, a DLC car pack, or a single DLC car, you will be granted the one-time free addition of each car to your Forza 5 garage, without needing to purchase them with in-game credits or tokens. This goes for all current Forza Motorsport 5 DLC (including cars in previous DLC car packs) and it will be the case for all future Forza 5 DLC car packs. In addition, as requested by our fans, this most recent content update makes all of the initial 200 cars that launched with Forza 5 available as rental cars.
