Forza 5 Now Offered Free With Xbox One Day One Pre-orders in UK
Options
FIFA or Forza?
ORIGINAL STORY: As an added incentive to British consumers who prefer motorsport over their national sport, select UK retailers are now offering a free copy of Forza Motorsport 5 to those who pre-order the Xbox Day One Edition Console.
It was announced that FIFA 14 would be bundled with Xbox One Day One Edition Consoles in Europe back in August, and now UK gamers now have the option to choose Turn 10 Studios' latest racing simulator instead. While pre-orders had more or less dried up in the territory, corporate Vice President of marketing, strategy and business Yusuf Mehdi announced today that additional pre-order SKUs had been squeezed in across the globe. As reported by Gamespot, UK retailers GAME UK, Amazon UK and Shopto are now offering the Forza 5 Xbox One Day One pre-order bundle.
The news coincides with this morning's announcement of the Xbox One release date. A free copy of FIFA 14 is also being offered to those who pre-order the Xbox One Day One Edition console in Australia.

UPDATE: Not a fan of FIFA 14 and want to switch your Xbox One Day One Edition pre-order game to Forza Motorsport 5? GAME says you can switch your pre-order bundle, but only if you've pre-ordered in-store as the online stock of the bundle has now completely sold out.
"All you have to do is pop into store and ask a member of staff," a representative of GAME explained to IGN, "But [Forza 5 Xbox One] units are VERY limited so folks will have to get in quick."
GAME also explained that their new Xbox One Day One Edition pre-order bundle comes with a physical copy of Forza Motorsport 5: Day One Edition, not a download code, as a retailer exclusive.
