DELIST ALERT: Forza Motorsport 7 and its associated DLC will be leaving the Microsoft Store and Game Pass on September 15th, 2021.
See the http://aka.ms/fm7faq.
FAQ: How can I get all content?*
As of September 2021, new buyers will need the Ultimate Edition plus the Formula Drift Car Pack to get access to as many cars as is currently possible. Promotional DLC cars and driver gear listed above will not be available. A discount is available to Game Pass subscribers.
Early Access (September 29 release) was only available with the Ultimate Edition (both disc and digital).
PC play is only available with digital purchase (Xbox’s Play Anywhere feature); some retailers sell digital codes. (Disc-owner gamesaves are retained if you later purchase a digital license).
Retailer exclusive DLC (driver gear) was associated with pre-ordering from select vendors. Select retailers are also offered a die-cast Porsche for pre-orders.
Promotional DLC Driver Gear was limited by date and eligible countries, either with retail products or for in-game contests.
VIP and Car Pass are available for every owner to purchase after launch as add-ons for Standard and Deluxe Editions, but only the Ultimate Edition (disc and digital) includes both and costs less as a bundle than as add-ons.
Only players who were at the top Tier in Forza Rewards when they started the game will have access to all the Loyalty Reward Driver Gear.
Some cars are not available to buy in-game and require gameplay to win as rewards. Some of these events are time-limited. All cars can be rented in Free Play and multiplayer lobbies, but rentals do not provide CR/XP.
Xbox Live Gold membership is required for multiplayer features on consoles; Gold isn’t necessary for PC players.
Crossplay (console and PC players together in multiplayer) is only available in Xbox Live markets.
To enjoy 4K resolution and HDR you will need the Xbox One X or recommended spec PC, and an HDR enabled 4K tv/monitor.
DLC Tokens have been available as an accelerator (not a paywall) in previous Forza games but aren’t included in FM7 to date.
Wheel/pedal controllers and Kinect are not required to play.
DLC Notes*
Digital format owners only need to purchase DLC once, and the content will be accessible on both their console and Windows 10 PC.
Accounts on shared Xbox Live Gold Member consoles have been able to use DLC assets without purchasing the DLC again, but benefits (such as VIP perks) have only been available to the DLC owner.
DLC owners can collect each model in game for “free” once, and then with CR for additional models. Car Pass owners (and UE owners) should skip the Store and Marketplace and go directly to Buy Cars to collect the cars if the cars are not added to your garage automatically.](https://forums.forza.net/turn10_postsm772609_FM7-Editions-and-DLC-List.aspx#post_772609)
Release Dates
September 29, 2017 - Ultimate Edition only (disc and digital formats)
October 3, 2017 - Standard and Deluxe Editions
November 7, 2017 - Xbox One X releases
Format differences
Game content and features are the same on disc, digital console, and PC formats; the only difference is display quality. Resolution is limited to 1080p on the Xbox One and Xbox One S, while it will be native true 4K on the Xbox One X and can be adjusted for hardware performance on PCs via in-game settings.
HDR display (enabled tv/monitor required) is available on the Xbox One S and Xbox One X, which will make the gameplay look more vibrant and realistic. The Xbox One X will make the game look better on the same 1080p display vs a One or One S due to supersampling.
There is no extra game purchase required to switch from an Xbox One to the new One X; your gamesave is saved in the cloud, digital game/DLC ownership is linked to your Microsoft account, and the same disc will work in the One / S / X.
PC play is only available with digital download editions (some retailers offer digital codes which you can redeem at Xbox.com) and Windows 10 computers; the disc will not run in a PC. Owning a console is not required. See the Xbox Play Anywhere FAQ and FM.net forum discussion thread. Download/install size
100GB or less, depending on the console (One and One S won’t use the 4K assets for the One X). Detailed info TBA.
Pre-load info TBA.
Purchase methods, delivery, and cancellation
The Xbox.com page for FM7 has pre-order links for each edition which redirects to the Microsoft Store.
Disc versions can be pre-ordered at the Microsoft Store and major retailers.
Digital versions can also be pre-ordered from the console, from the Store app on Windows 10 PCs, from Microsoft.com, from the Xbox app, and from retailers who will print or email a code to be redeemed on your console or at Xbox.com
Delivery date and codes from retailers should be confirmed by the buyer directly with the vendor involved in the purchase.
Pre-orders from Xbox can be cancelled before release by contacting Xbox Support.
Turn 10 announced at gamescom that a demo would be available “on Windows 10 PCs prior to the game’s release” but did not announce a date.^ The date and details were included in the Gone Gold announcement^ on September 7th:
Lap times in the demo do not carry over to the full game
Playing the demo does not earn prizes (as with previous Forza demos)
Camera Shake and Troubleshooting
PC users may notice that the demo does not respond to video options (turning off HUD motion effects) and may experience stuttering. See the Known Issues thread in the Tech Support and Help forum for a list of issues with the demo. The thread indicates that “a future update” will add support for some features such as unlocked framerate, video options, and reduced load times.
As of June 12 there has been no announcement about a game companion app that would allow remote access to the Auction House, Livery Editor, or gameplay.
Xbox App
The Xbox app is a free download for the console and mobile devices, which allows you to see your Xbox Activity Feed, Achievements, Captures, Xbox Clubs, and control your console. Streaming your console gameplay to your PC monitor allows you to use your tv for other content. The PC version can be used for Party Chat.
Forza Hub
Forza Hub is a free app for consoles and Windows 10 PCs that centralizes news and content for all Forza games. The app allows you to read articles published at Forzamotorsport.net, check your Forza Rewards progress, redeem monthly rewards, learn about DLC, view gallery photos, and jump directly into games.

Driver Gear is the suit and helmet worn by your driver in the game. The game will have many options available to all players, but there will be some limited access DLC options prior to and after launch. See the Contests thread and Driver Gear discussion thread for details and ongoing additions.
Forza-game-themed suits are only available via Loyalty Rewards based on Tier when you play the game for the first time. These are not actually DLC but visible and locked in the Driver Gear menu.
Pre-orders from Amazon, Best Buy, EB Games, GAME, Gamestop, Microsoft, and ShopTo came with retailer-themed Driver Gear as well as additional color suits Driven To Win, Early Drive, First to the Track, and Green Light Means Go Fast.
Hoonigan pack owners (bonus for digital download pre-orders, sweepstakes prize) received the Climbkhana suit. The Gymkhana suit seems to be locked for a future reward.
Expo attendees at E3, gamescom, and The Game Awards viewers received codes for the Road Show suit.
VIP owners get labeled suits in Black, Blue, Purple, White, and Yellow
Promotional DLC Driver Gear related to brands Alienware, Doritos, Gears of War 4, Halo, Ice Break, Mountain Dew, Totino’s, and Taco Bell have been available to some players inside and outside the U.S., though the codes work in any Xbox Live region.
Unlike previous games there were no bonus DLC cars for FM7 pre-orders.
At launch the Xbox Live Rewards Virtual Key Instant Win Sweepstakes was the only way for physical copy players to obtain the pack as “currently there are no plans for this pack to be sold separately.” However, in May Brian Ekberg announced that in June “the Hoonigan Car Pack will be available for purchase by everyone – and if you’ve got the Car Pass, the Hoonigan Cars will be included.”^
Includes:
1965 Hoonigan Ford “Hoonicorn” Mustang
1955 Hoonigan Chevrolet Bel Air
1972 Hoonigan Chevrolet “Napalm Nova”
1978 Hoonigan Ford Escort RS1800
1992 Hoonigan Mazda RX-7 Twerkstallion
2003 Hoonigan Holden Commodore Ute

The Windows Store states that VIP includes: “Exclusive cars, Mods, Driver Gear, and more await with Forza Motorsport 7 VIP membership! Forza Motorsport 7 VIP members receive exclusive VIP cars. VIPs will receive additional benefits including 100% CR bonus Mods, VIP Driver Gear, and more.”
This DLC is included with Deluxe and Ultimate Edition pre-orders, and is available as a $20 add-on for Standard Edition owners.
5 Included Cars
1969 Chevrolet Camaro Super Sport Forza Edition
2013 Ram Runner Forza Edition
2012 Nissan GTR Forza Edition
1992 Ford Escort RS Forza Edition
2014 BMW M4 Forza Edition 5 included Driver Gear
Shared DLC note
In previous games, accounts on a shared Xbox Live Gold member console were able to use the VIP assets (cars) without purchasing the DLC. However, VIP benefits were limited to the DLC owner.
The Fate of the Furious Car Pack is the Day One Pack announced in June. The Fate of the Furious Car Pack is included free for Ultimate Edition pre-order owners (disc and digital) starting Sept. 29 and Deluxe Edition pre-order owners starting October 3. Standard Edition owners can purchase the pack as an add-on for $9.99 to play starting October 3. This pack is not included in the Car Pass. The pack adds 10 cars to the game roster:
Included cars
1966 Chevrolet Corvette The Fate of the Furious Edition
1951 Chevrolet Fleetline Special The Fate of the Furious Edition
1968 Dodge Charger The Fate of the Furious Edition
2018 Dodge Demon The Fate of the Furious Edition
2015 Jaguar F-TYPE R Coupe The Fate of the Furious Edition
2014 Local Motors Rally Fighter The Fate of the Furious Edition
2015 Mercedes-AMG GT S The Fate of the Furious Edition
1971 Plymouth GTX The Fate of the Furious Edition
2016 Subaru WRX STI The Fate of the Furious Edition
These promotional DLC items are not available to purchase separately from Xbox or the Windows Store. Totino’s pizza products have codes for entry into sweepstakes, and automatic installation of DLC cars and Driver Gear with Totino’s theme. The sweepstakes entry process is limited to U.S. residents, but the DLC codes work in any Xbox region. The “2012 Pagani Huayra Totino’s Edition” is a separate model in game from the standard Huayra. Unless a content update adds the cars to the roster for all players, they will not be available to rent in Free Play for players who have not installed the DLC.
Edit: On May 17, 2018, Brian Ekberg announced on #InsideXbox that the Car Pass would be extended to include two more monthly packs plus the Hoonigan Car Pack (available in June).
The Car Pass is not a DLC itself, but a bulk discount on DLC that can be purchased separately. From the Windows Store description: “Get six monthly car packs at one low price. With the Forza Motorsport 7 Car Pass, you’ll always be dialed in to the latest and greatest cars in Forza Motorsport 7. The Car Pass brings you six monthly car packs (7 cars each). That’s 42 amazing new cars in total, all waiting to be collected, customized, and raced for one low price. The Forza Motorsport 7 Car Pass is available with the Forza Motorsport 7 Ultimate Edition.” The September (Day One) Fate of the Furious Car Pack is not covered by the Car Pass.
The Car Pass is available as an add-on for Standard and Deluxe Edition owners. It can be purchased at any time (note: previous game end-of-life for DLC has been 4 years), allowing players to wait for all cars to be released before purchasing and getting the discount. However, there is no prorated discount if a player purchased the Car Pass after having already purchased one or more of the included car packs. Turn 10 typically does not reveal the cars in each pack until days before its release.
“Season” Pass and exclusions note
Players new to the franchise should be aware of how Turn 10 has offered the Car Pass in the past: The pass covers specified packs, not all DLC ever to be released. There may be additional DLC released for FM7 that would increase the total cost to obtain all content even further. Previous games have not offered a Car Pass 2. Be aware that the Car Pass offers nothing more than is listed; if that concerns you, you have the option to wait for reviews of the car packs before purchasing. UPDATE: The Car Pass has been extended to include the Hoonigan Car Pack in June (previously available only in pre-order bundles or as prize DLC) plus the July Top Gear Car Pack, and the August Car Pack. Info about the Formula Drift Car Pack is pending.
