Forza Horizon 3 is a massively popular racing title for the Xbox One and Windows 10 PCs that by itself won the Best Racing/Sports category at the 2016 Game Awards. It’s tons of fun right out of the box, but it’s the constant stream of downloadable content (DLC) that takes the game to another level.

Some of the most popular DLC for Forza Horizon 3, and for racing games in general, are the new cars that can be added and then raced with, which not only extends the game’s lifespan but adds in some nostalgia when those cars are historic models. This time around, the latest new car pack for Forza Horizon 3 comes by way of the Logitech G Car Pack, which the Xbox Wire details in their latest release.

The Logitech G Car Pack features seven new vehicles with a focus on driving this holiday season. The new Car Pack comes just a week from the release of the Blizzard Mountain expansion for Forza Horizon 3, which will bring a real winter driving experience to the Xbox One and Windows 10 PCs.

The cars included in the Logitech G Car Pack offer a range of vehicles, from the experimental to the classic. The Bentley EXP 10 Speed 6 Concept is a car that exists only as a prototype unveiled at the Geneva Auto Show in 2015, and offers a lighter, sportier version of the Bentley Continental GT. The 2017 Jaguar F-PACE is a brand new SUV in the mid- to compact crossover range and should make for a fun winter driving experience.

The 1965 Pontiac GTO is one of the pack’s most iconic vehicles, representing a quintessential American muscle car. Less iconic but much-loved and respected is the 2014 Morgan 3 Wheeler, with a design that goes back all the way to 1911 but that’s been modernized with today’s amenities and powerplant technology.

Rounding out the Logitech G Car Pack is the popular 1992 Toyota Supra 2.0 GT Twin Turbo, the 2017 Mercedes-AMG GT R with its twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8, and the 1996 HSV GTSR limited-edition street-legal racer.

Developer Digital Eclipse is working on a surprising project: Volgarr the Viking 2. The 2D retro sequel will launch on August 6 for PlayStation 4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC.

The news is an out of left field reveal. The first Volgarr the Viking game released in 2013 and was made as an ode to 1080s classics like Ghosts 'n Goblins. Despite being a small release, it sold over 1 million copies over the past decade. As revealed during today's Guerrilla Collective stream, the series is coming back with a new sequel by Digital Eclipse, the team behind this year's Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story.

3 Days of Play PS Plus games to try this weekend (June 7-9)
Key art for Streets of Rage 4.

June 2024 is shaping up to be a pretty great month for PlayStation players. Not only are we coming off an entertaining State of Play showcase, but a new Days of Play initiative surrounding all the video game showcases this month is bringing a lot of new PS Plus additions with it. Many of those games hit PS Plus this week, and three in particular stand out to us.

For owners of Sony's oft-neglected PlayStation VR2, the first game is one of its rare exclusives that take full advantage of the headset's eye-tracking by seeing how often players blink. The next is a new PS Plus Essential game that's a revival of Sega's classic beat-'em-up series for the modern gaming era. Finally, the last title is an atmospheric and eerie fishing game that should entice fans of Lovecraftian horror.

3 first-party Xbox Game Pass games to try this weekend (June 7-9)
Gears 5 Kait Hero Close Up

Microsoft will hold an Xbox Games Showcase and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Direct. this Sunday. These shows will provide a much better idea of what to expect from Xbox over the course of the next year or two. That's really needed right now, as Microsoft has struggled to keep online discussions around Xbox positive as it went multiplatform with some games, laid off thousands of developers, and outright shut down the developers of Hi-Fi Rush and Redfall. Based on leaks and my personal expectations for the showcase, there are three games you can play on Xbox Game Pass this weekend to prepare for the event.

The first is the latest first-person shooter in a long-running series by id Software that might be getting a medieval-set spinoff. After that, we have the fifth entry in a sci-fi Xbox series that still looks fantastic on Xbox Series X/S even though it came out in 2019. Finally, you can prepare for Avowed with the latest RPG from Obsidian Entertainment, a satirical sci-fi game where player choice is critical.
