Just a few days before Forza Horizon 5 arrives for everybody - the game is already available in early access for select players - Microsoft just announced that it's going to reward those who've already played through previous Forza Horizon and Forza Motorsport titles. Series veterans will receive the cover car for the past Forza game that they've played, which will be automatically added to their garage after completing their first drive.

Keep in mind that these loyalty reward cars aren't exclusive by any means. You can still get your hands on them by buying them directly from Autoshow. However, these cover cars are no slouch and don't come cheap. You'll need a boatload of money if you want to get your hands on any of them let alone all. Not to mention, your Garage could benefit a lot from having these cars available right from the get-go, as you go on exploring Forza Horizon 5's massive map.

While free cars in Forza Horizon 5 sounds like a great deal, it appears that not all are fans of the decision. Some believe that the game loses some sense of progression because players can get such powerful cars right from the beginning.

Regardless of what your stance on the free Forza Horizon 5 cars is, it is what it is and it appears that Playground Games has no intention of pulling back the rewards.

With that said, we're hoping that you've already pre-loaded Forza Horizon 5 on your preferred gaming platform. The game is pulling in positive reviews from critics so far. so you'll want to get a chance to race as soon as it becomes available on November 9.
