Cannot play Forza 5 after downloading from games for gold.

A SneezingPanda · Sep 10, 2014

I downloaded Forza 5 this past weekend with the games for gold deal. I was able to play it right after I downloaded it. However, I went to open the game to day and a message came up saying, I have insert a game disc or buy the rights to play it. I thought
once you download a game from games for gold you permanently own the rights to play it. Am I only allowed to play it when it is available for free download?

Hello every one, i am having a problem with the saves on my profile, as i was downloading the game Forza 5, i started playing the game after 15% of download, but the xbox crashed and restarted, so i waited for the full download, but now the games always
bugs at the same place, i cannot play, unless i connect as a guest, but then it does not save the game..

how can i erase the save a restart from the beginning? ?

Newbie help on Xbox

Buy Gold from CDkeys and download this months games with gold including Forza Horizon. Also download the Forza Horizon Demo.
You need gold to play online same as PS+.
Buy EA Access for £20 and you get access to 25 Games which include great games like Titanfall, Battlefield and Plants vs Zombies.

For about £50 you can get access to nearly 30 games to start you off and get an idea on what games take your fancy.

It was not a game for gold. It was a free weekend and that's it. It said very clear

After the weekend, you’ll have the option to purchase the game online from the Xbox Store or visit your favorite retailer and continue playing.

They still have the announcement up on Turn 10s site

If you got forza 5 with game with gold you should be ok, the only time you will not be able to download it or play it is if your gold runs out but just renew and you get it back.

dont look for it in the store as forza 5 was delisted a while ago same as forza horizon 2.

Foza is not free. It is free to play this weekend then you need to buy it after if you want to keep playing it.

Forza 4 has been delisted along with its DLC from the store

Forza games typically remain available for 5 years, until their music and car licenses expire. After that you cannot purchase or redeem their items

The next game to be delisted will be Forza Horizon 4 sometime around September 2023
