How come I had to pay £85, not £35.99 like everyone else?

The game actually costs £55.

You can check this on the link below, this price is for the basic version of the game.

as above, but if you cannot spot the difference in the list then there is no hope.

one list has the premium stuff listed, the other has the game listed AND the premium stuff.

Hello, how are you? My name is Mateus. I'm an Independent Advisor and I'll be glad to help you today.

First, welcome to the Xbox community. The premium edition version of Forza Horizon 5 includes the base game, you must have it in order to play additional content released in the future.

The Forza Horizon 5 Premium Add-Ons Bundle version includes only the DLCS and additional game content, this version doesn't have the base game, so without it, you wouldn't be able to start the Add-Ons. This version was designed for those who have the game pass because for it you have the base game and would only need the Add-Ons Bundle.

*Thank you in advance for contacting the community, I hope this can help you.

Thank you for the welcome

So either way the game would have cost £85? Or the lower amount of whatever it was?

Thanks

Yep, I see that I made a mistake.

Just thought that there was a different version, like a cheaper option where you could get the same for less. Or that I didn't / haven't seen the correct other amount for the purchase of the game.
