There’s good news for fans of Forza Motorsports 4 on Microsoft’s Xbox 360: for the first time since launch of Forza 4, you’ll be able to buy and download an expansion pack containing some 30 assorted Porsche street and race models.
Porsche, present in Forza 3, was excluded from Forza 4 due to a licensing agreement between Porsche and game studio EA Sports. EA Sports opted not to license any Porsche models to Turn 10 for the Forza 4 game, essentially forcing gamers with an affinity for Porsche to buy “Need For Speed” franchise games from EA.
Also, don’t forget that you can get discounted new car pricing with a free quote through qualified local dealer partners.
We’re not sure what’s changed, but given that the press release on the expansion pack came from Porsche North America, we can assume the automaker saw things a bit differently than EA Sports. The more gamers who drive Porsches in the virtual world, the more potential customers Porsche has in the future.
The Porsche Expansion Pack will cost 1,600 Microsoft points, or the equivalent of $19.99, and includes an impressive variety of current and vintage Porsche models.
Here’s the complete list of cars in the expansion pack:
