Read the verdict and alternativesOur take
An exploration game for an established racing fan
This Premium digital edition includes the base game, Car Pass, VIP, Welcome Pack, and the Hot Wheels and Rally Adventure expansions. It fits a player who wants to spend time exploring and progressing, and who can use the additional content. Check existing ownership before paying for the same extras twice.
- Best fit
- The player wants the listed expansions and has compatible Xbox or Windows hardware.
- Skip it if
- The plan is same-screen racing for siblings or the player already owns these extras.

A closer look at the trade-offs
The trade-off
The code is for the listed Xbox and Windows platforms; it is not a Switch game or a disc. A large download and compatible hardware are part of the gift. Choose Mario Kart on a compatible Nintendo system when same-screen family racing is the goal, because Forza does not offer local split-screen.
Living with it & the first play session
After the wrapping comes off
Check existing game and expansion ownership before redeeming a code. Allow for download space and setup; the box-style product image does not make this a disc.
Confirm the account and edition first, then complete the download before planning the first play session.
