Xbox celebrates anniversary with free downloads you can nab now

Don't worry, you haven't missed Xbox's birthday. That's next month on 15 November. Make sure you send Microsoft a card.

The anniversary we're on about today belongs to one of Xbox's ride-or-die franchises; Forza. Get it? Ride or die? Like how you ride in a car? Alright, not my best. Sorry.

Forza developer Turn 10 recently announced that Forza Motorsport turned one, following its release on 10 October 2023.

"That day was an important moment for the team as we finally got the game in your hands," Team 10 stated in a blog post on the official Forza website, "However it was only the starting line of this journey, which as you know, is far from over."

Take a look at the game in action below.

"Since launch, we’ve improved stability and performance, while also developing new content and features – many of which were inspired by your feedback. These have been released as part of our monthly game updates, and all of this work is part of our ongoing effort to shape Forza Motorsport into the best game it can be."

To commemorate this beautiful celebration, Team 10 have something special in store for their fans: free stuff. The best kind of stuff.

"As a special gift to our community for our one-year anniversary, all players can look forward to obtaining three new, free Mustang cars: the 2024 Ford #25 Mustang RTR, 2024 Ford #88 Mustang RTR, and 2024 Ford #130 Mustang RTR. These cars will be available to claim in the Showroom."

They also announced that an extra, bonus car will be available for their "Car Pass holders" - the Ford Mustang Dark Horse. Before you ask, I've just Googled it and, yes, that is the name of a real car.

All of these will be available on 16 October, so Mustang and Forza lovers will want to mark the date in their calendars - which assumedly are Mustang themed.
