Every week, I have to redownload the Car Pass from Microsoft Store to add the content licences for the two new cars. Doing so means that the Xbox will validate every single licence already installed from the Car Pass, making the download slow and annoying, more so each week.
If this is not done, the new cars will still be available in the game. However, if you were in one of them when you last played the game and you start the game again, you will be put into a different car. The missing file from the Car Pass will simply return an invalid licence mask for the content and make the game initially think you don’t own it, even if you are playing on your Home Xbox and/or you’re online (the cars will still be in your garage and available to select though).
Why doesn’t the Car Pass bundle all its cars into a single licence? Is this merely a means to keep them from being accidentally or nefariously unlocked ahead of time?
At least in previous titles where we had monthly Car Packs those packs were possible to install individually. You didn’t have to wait for the Xbox to reinstall the licence for every single Car Pass car released before, just the newly added ones.
