  • Anyone taken the offer, is there 3 different codes to redeem?

    • The Forza Horizon 3 and Forza Motorsport 7 redemption codes will be sent 7-10 days after purchase via Xbox Live message.

      • If I have F7 already can I give the code to someone else?

        • Yes, the code's not linked to your account otherwise they'd've redeemed it for you

    • Do you get a code for the year of Game Pass? I would prefer a code.

      Reason is, I currently have Game Pass stacked until October 2020, and I can't add another 12 months until October 2018.

      • +1

        No code for Game Pass. MS will just slap on a year after you pay. I speak from experience.

        • Thanks for the info pupdog.

  • +2

    The Forza deal is only listed on the US site. Can anyone confirm if you will get the games if purchased on the AU site?

  • Link for AU site is https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/p/xbox-game-pass/cfq7ttc0k6l… - but does not mention Forza Motorsport or Horizon 3

    • +1

      US also doesn't mention. It's been mentioned in Major Nelson as well. Maybe give it a day?

    • Knowing Microsoft, this deal is a global offer that almost certainly includes Australia. But they are just shoddy at communicating it.

  • Wouldn’t it be ironic if once the offer finished they added the 2 games to the Xbox game pass….lol
    So u own them but u have 12 mths to play em for free on your pass too….
    …just saying

    • +1

      game pass only gets used during school holidays so if you got to keep the racing games that is great and but otherwise we just renew during school holidays and they often have the cheap month offer.

      we have gold for 12mths though …

  • This deal will work for PC too.

  • Do you know what happens if you own the disc (I have FH3 and F7 on disc) when you redeem the code. Does it just use the existing install files and you no longer have to insert the disc or does it need to download it all new again? The latter would be stupid so I'm sure that's not the case but was just wanting to check. Was looking at buying FH4 anyway but that added convenience of having FH3 and F7 with no disc would be great which I'm yet to finish (damn Destiny), plus Game Pass on top for future releases.

    • +2

      It uses the same files. When you use a disk game, it installs the exact same as if you bought it online. It’s just that in order to start the game, you need the disk to authorize your account. Getting game pass will mean you no longer need the disk for as long as the subscription is active.

    • +2

      It will trigger an automatic download, but just cancel it and you'll be able to boot it up from My Games & Apps like you would any other digital title. That's how it worked with Project CARS for me when it went Games with Gold like a year ago.

      • +1

        Awesome cheers for the info there, good to know that is the case, will do!

        Microsoft AU says 18 days remaining on the sale, might wait it out till close to launch to confirm FH3 and F7 is included.

        • same, confirmation would be good that you get to keep the 2 games after gamepass expires.

        • @garage sale: You do get to keep them (FH3, Forza 7) because both games are NOT in GamePass.

          Forza Horizon 4 will be in GamePass though.

        • @netsurfer:
          I’m not saying u don’t get to keep them, just they might be added soon so u r to n effect doubling up

        • @Garagesale: Okay, in that case, that could happen because Microsoft keep adding games I own to GamePass.

          Gears 4, Sunset Overdrive, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Forza Horizon 2, Hitman Series 1, Quantum Break etc…

          Given that I own both Forza Horizon 3 and Forza 7, the odds are they will be added. FH3, probably not right away, given FH2 just got added recently. It does feel like they will be added. Quantum Break and RoTR were heavily discounted prior to being added (so I bought them and then within weeks, added to GamePass).

      • +1

        I found that the automatic download was in the Queue but checked the existing files when it got to the download and then completed the download without re-downloading anything. That is, seems you don’t even need to cancel the automatic download.

  • I got really excited when I read the post title that I misread and assumed Horizon 4… :( Great deal though.

  • Does this include all the DLC as well?

  • +1

    This a pretty great deal.

    FH3 in particular still pulls pretty decently, wonder how it will do after FH4 comes out.

  • An insane deal, thanks OP :)

  • Thanks OP :)

  • don't forget CashRewards for 5.50% cashback, bringing it down to $102.06

    Edit: this is already mentioned in the OP description. My bad!

  • Any chance of CashRewards doing a deal on the cashback :D

  • Good deal what happens if you got Forza 3… is it a difference in price?

  • Does this include play anywhere? I don't have an XB1 but would this be a good deal for PC users?

    • +1

      Yes, PlayAnywhere will work here and is included.

  • Is this a good deal if you already own both games, or should I wait for a potential Black Friday sale on 12 month subscription? Looking at past deals it seems like it has been cheaper, but that was when it first launched.

    • Yeah, you can buy digital 12 Months Game Pass from Amazon US, I’d say a good chance they’ll have a good Black Friday price…

    • +1

      You might be able to sell the codes on eBay to make back some extra $$?

  • FM7 was about $30 on sale for physical copy at Target this week. Cant remember exact price.

  • -2

    You will also need to buy xbox live with it in order to use game pass.

    • I have 3 months of game pass right now, and i dont have an xbox live gold subscription active

    • incorrect.

  • Has anyone tried to stack this over multiple years?

  • Has anyone bit the bullet and purchased this deal yet? If so, did the Forza 7 & Forza Horizon 3 keys get delivered too?

    • I did, and no, no codes yet.

      • +1

        Many thanks. Did stacking work?

        • +1

          If you mean stacking an existing GP sub, then yes, I can confirm that it works. I have now stacked around 2 years and I understand that you can stack up to 3.

        • Yes, I already had a month left and purchased 12 months, I now have 13 months and I'll probably buy another 12 while the price is good.

  • I did too and no codes yet.

  • +2

    Article states codes will “likely be received in 7-10 days - but no later than the 21st of October, 2018”

    https://majornelson.com/2018/09/13/get-the-best-deal-of-the-…

    • Ordered on 29th September, received codes today (3rd October) approx. 5 days! Got them over Xbox messages.

  • -1

    Anyone get codes yet?

  • +2

    Also, if you have not used the free 14 day trial, just order the 14 day trial first before purchasing, which can be done straight after. The 12 months stacks onto your trial. Almost 4% saving!

  • Has anyone received the bonus game codes? just bought the 12 months game pass. just wondering how long the two game codes can arrive so I can put. them on gumtree. I have alrady had both horizon 3 and forza 7 so will sell both codes to reduce the XGP yearly cost down to around 70 dollars which is a pretty good price considering you will have forza 4 and other new Microsoft games for a year.

    Also keep in mind if you don't want to be charged 130+ dollars after one year, you need to manually switch off the auto renew function fron your xbox account.

  • Nope. Still waiting patiently.

  • Seems like codes won’t arrive till after sep 30 deadline, unless anyone got in last few days , would have liked confirmation b4 pulling trigger :(

  • +1

    I received my codes on Friday arvo. I checked my Xbox message via the Xbox IOS app. I haven’t had any emails though.

    • Ohhhhh, they’re sent through Xbox message. I was waiting for an email. Thanks! I’ve received the codes too.

  • Ordered last night. So looking forward to my codes..which I will sell. :-)

    • Out of interest, where do you plan to sell them?

      • Was thinking gumtree but with a pickup only so we can show the code working.

        • In classified on this site.

  • I still haven't received the Forza codes after 12 days, but they did send me a code for 1 month of Game Pass - apparently because I paid for the 12 month sub with PayPal.

  • No codes still. Who to contact?

    • Just noted the following on the link in the OP

      From 13/09/2018 – 01/10/2018, both new and existing members buying the Xbox Game Pass 12-Month offer for $99 will receive codes to download Forza Horizon 3 and Forza Motorsport 7 via Xbox Message Centre, probably within 7-10 days, but no later than 21 October 2018. Limit: one token for each bonus game per person, regardless of the number of Game Pass subscriptions bought. Users cannot stack more than 3 years of Game Pass in their account at a time.

    • Arrived and now selling in classifieds.

  • I contacted the Xbox ANZ Facebook page, and got this response: “Thanks for getting in touch! The best people to help out would be our support team - you can reach them at support.xbox.com/en-AU/ or by calling 1800 555 741.”

    I called Xbox support and they told me that the codes will be sent no later than 21 October.

    I don’t understand why it should take any time at all.

    • I've now received the codes - 20 days later!
