Forza Horizon 5
Microtransactions in Forza Horizon 5 are summarized as...
This game follows a similar model the previous one. There are no direct microtransactions, but there are quite a few premium purchases.
There are several planned DLC. The DLC can be purchased individually or via a Season Pass.
The game features a "Car Pass", which unlocks new cars in your game on a weekly basis.
The game features a "VIP Membership", which despite it's name is a one-time purchase and not a subscription. This unlocks cosmetics items as well as items that give you advantages. For example you might receive double credits earned.
The game features a purchasable map which reveals the location of in-game collectible items. This sort of item is often obtainable in-game, but this game chose to go the premium route.
