So no GP day one support eh?
It’ll be there, you can preload it now via the app or the interwebs…

MS said they would support Cross gen for the first 2 years and FH4 shows what they can do with the Xbox One.
It's going to be the goodbye that FH2 Xbox 360 version was to that console.
 
So, we get the base game on Game Pass, right? Any extras we can purchase on our own?
 
That’s confusing, if performance mode is 4k/60 then what would be the graphics option?
