October 2023 saw the debut of Forza Motorsport . For the first anniversary of the title, Turn 10 Studios are celebrating with the release of Update 13 which is themed around Mustang Month.

Forza Motorsport turned one year old on the 10th of October, 2024. However, it has been far from plain sailing for the flagship motorsport title on Xbox as many players had hoped for more. That did not keep the team from releasing monthly updates, and this time it is all about celebrating with lots of free content for players and a fresh new update coming 'Next Week'.


Free content For Mustang Month​

The content comes as a bit of a surprise with the theming around one specific manufacturer and model, the Ford Mustang. Each player will be able to claim all three 2024 versions of Ford's iconic muscle car from the in-game showroom. The cars in question are:

  • 2024 Ford #25 Mustang RTR
  • 2024 Ford #88 Mustang RTR
  • 2024 Ford #130 Mustang RTR

It would have been nice to see a bit more variety in these three free cars, but it is free content for all players and that is always something to appreciate.

For those players who own the Car Pass, you can look forward to an additional bonus car in this new update. The 2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse can be yours if you either own or buy the Forza Motorsport Car Pass, Deluxe Edition, Premium Edition or Premium Add-Ons Bundle.

These new cars will be released with the rest of the Mustang Month content on Thursday, October 17 at midnight UTC. These new Mustangs are not the only additions for this update, however.

Ford Mustang included in the Mustang Month update.

One for the hardcore Forza fans; Sunset Peninsula is due to make its long-awaited return after last appearing in Forza Motorsport 4! This classic addition to Forza's track roster is a fantastic circuit that will undoubtedly fit in perfectly in single-player and multiplayer modes.

Forza Motorsport's Update 13 also introduces a new 'Drift Mode', new options for Practice and Qualifying in Private Multiplayer races and additional upgrades for Forza Race Regulations. These updates, excluding the new drift mode, are quality-of-life changes. However, they are probably necessary for the current playable state of Forza Motorsport if it is to succeed heading into 2025.

This "sim" is total, utter, GARBAGE. I hadn't touched it in a long time and recently went back in after hearing "good things" following some updates and it is still just flat-out AWFUL. Literally doesn't feel like ANY other sim on the market, and I mean that in the worst possible way. I can't even enjoy the car-collecting and upgrading because the driving experience is just so terrible. Six years of development and THIS is what they roll out? Embarrassing.
 
The FFB on a wheel is just a good as Mario Kart. They even have 100 sliders that don't mean anything to nobody. They should have hired a real PC Sim expert for guidance. We've been lied to for years... Fire Chris and other Sr Mgmnt and replace with real sim experts.

Why I can't drive a car in this game. Awful! Tires are made with wood. Any race 50 sec. > behind the 1 place... At 50 KMH cars love been outside the track.
