As we gear up for the launch of Forza Horizon 2 on Sept. 30, we’re excited to announce that all Xbox Live Gold members can enjoy Forza Motorsport 5 for free this entire upcoming weekend. Beginning at 12:01 a.m. PDT, Thursday, Sept. 4 through 11:59 p.m. PDT, Sunday, Sept. 7, Gold members in Xbox One markets can play the newest entry in the highest-rated racing franchise* of the past decade, Forza Motorsport 5, in entirety and for free.
Carlos writes - "When it was time for Forza 5 to rock on up to the track, we were just entering the third generation of Xbox consoles, and to show off all that extra horsepower that would come inside the Xbox One, they wanted a flagship title that could truly showcase just what miracles the next generation could perform. And what better title than Microsoft’s beloved racer!"
Such s supreme racing title. Hands down racing franchise of recent decades. Nothing has come close in quality or ratings.
Apart from Forza 5. Talking about generally the Forza series has always been rated high. Perhaps Forza 5 was rushed for launch. Although made up again by Forza 6 and 7.
I liked the game well enough, it was a good starting point for the new gen and helped them build up to what motorsport 7 is now, the controversies wasnt with the numbers of cars or tracks though, it was more to do with the pc footage being passed off as xbox one, the downgrade from what they originally had shown caused more upset than the numbers.
Carlos writes - "It’s time to tweak that tuning setup, perfect those visuals and strap in to that harness before heading down to the track, as Forza Motorsport 5 is calling for all players with a free download now available thanks to Games With Gold!"
James writes - "So here we are with a new month about to begin, and we all know by now that means a number of new games are about to be gifted to all Xbox One and Xbox 360 players via the Xbox Games With Gold scheme for September2017. The free games of last month were passable if truth be told, but can September’s offerings make it a month to remember, or one to skip over?"
Well...lets see. So FM5 is 2013's Racer of the Year, while Oxenfree was nominated and won all types of awards as an indie game in 2016. On the BC side, both games are classics.
I got disagrees for pointing the same thing out the psn games coming. I doubt some people actually enjoy games that visit this site.
I swear some people just go into topics and hit disagree on every post for no reason.
Of course they are. The competition between PS Plus and GwG is getting good now, expect more great months on both sides

Awesome!
I got this for free with my X1.
Bought an X1 on Saturday and just got Forza Motorsport 5 yesterday. If a launch game is already this awesome, i cant wait to see what future Forza Motorsport entries will be like. Fantastic game with the best A.I (Drivertar) i have ever seen in a racing game.
Nice gesture and sounds like it works like steam free weekends... that leaked trial wasn't such an error after all ;)
Edit -
@theRell
oh right forgot about that :p. Very true it's a nice thing to have on a digital store.
Cool. Racing fans on xb1 have had a nice string of announcements lately, first we're getting a FH2 demo, then NFS:R was added to the EA Access vault, now this... I'm loving it.
