Forza Motorsport 5 Limited Edition and Day One Details

One of the Xbox One launch titles Microsoft has touted since Day One has been Forza Motorsport 5, a racing game exclusive to the company’s next-gen console. Microsoft pulled out all the promotional stops at E3, and now eight weeks later, the company has revealed the first details for the Forza Motorsport 5 Limited Edition and Forza Motorsport 5 Day One Edition. Both of them are available for pre-order starting today.

With multiple car packs, VIP membership privileges, and packed-in content, the Forza Motorsport 5 Limited Edition is the ultimate package for Forza Motorsport 5 fans. The Forza Motorsport 5 Limited Edition features the all-new 2014 Audi RS 7 Sportback on the cover and, for $79.99, will include the following content:

• Limited Edition Car Pack – This five-car pack features new cars that are already destined for legendary status.

The Forza Motorsport 5 Day One Edition, meanwhile, has commemorative packaging whose artwork matches the Xbox One Day One console design. Available for $59.99, the Forza Motorsport 5 Day One Edition includes the standard game as well as the Day One Car Pack. This three-car pack features cars from Lamborghini, Audi, and Ford; each with a Day One-themed livery and custom tuning package created by the experts at Turn 10.

Clearly the Forza Motorsport 5 Limited Edition is the way to go if you’re a big racing-game fan and plan on getting an Xbox One. But hey, if you know you’re going to get the game when the Xbox One launches and don’t want to pony up the extra $20, it’s nice to know Microsoft is including some bonus goodies for you in the Day One edition of the game, too.
