I got FM5 with Games With Gold and bought the VIP and Car Pass to so I’d get the ‘Paid DLC Owned’ reward points, which is like 350 points. The DLC works just fine in the game but they aren’t recognized in Forza Rewards. That’s a good deal of points and I’d like to get them. I unplugged Xbox for a few hours but that didn’t help. Any ideas or anybody from Turn 10 that can help out?
I can confirm it takes about 1-2 weeks for the points for Token Purchased and Paid DLC Owned to update in Forza Rewards but it does indeed work.
My 350 points got posted!
I thought that DLC/token points were granted to all since I’ve had them all, including FM5, from the beginning.
Now that I checked the totals they don’t seem to add up unless you’ve played the game - i.e I did not get the points for FH, FH2, FM4 even though there were some DLC points granted.
So then I thought I had some easy points just by logging in to these games, however now they seem to be zeroed out.
Wonder if the DLC points will be granted if I for example log into FM4 at a friends console?
Edit; the rewards page was temporarily glitched while I wrote this comment, now all DLC points is back for all old games.
TL;DR I realized that DLC rewards points are fully rewarded for all games, but they will only count if you log in and play the game at least once.
It’s impossible for us to tell with 100% certainty, because we can only guess how the system works, but playing the games is not required.
I’ve got the points for Forza Horizon 3 and I’ve never played it. I don’t own it digitally too. And the only thing I can remember owning for it is the Halo Warthog given at the Mixer E3 Mixpot.
Some DLC’s like these would count before the Paid DLC/Tokens change, just like the Avatar Items counted for FM3. So if you are correct about needing something, maybe this ticked this game for me.
But starting, which means loading the statistics in your gamertag (0/0 gamerscore and 0/0 achievements) is not necessary.
I know what is on my gamertag because I avoid starting stuff I will not complete like games I don’t like or apps with achievements like youtube, etc.
If you only noticed after starting maybe the reward system for you was just delayed. It’s common to happen.
