By Will Fulton August 12, 2014

The most recent update for Forza Motorsport 5 adds six new cars, including the first-ever appearance of a Rolls-Royce in a racing game. The free content package includes the 2014 Rolls-Royce Wraith, the most powerful that the manufacturer has eve produced.

It also comes with the Renault Spark SRT_01E, an all-electric racing car that will star in the new Formula E Rivals event, also part of the update. If you can pilot the Spark on the Long Beach East Circuit with the fastest overall time, you will win two VIP tickets to the Formula E championship race in Berlin, Germany on May 30, 2015. The tickets will also grant you ticket to the exclusive Emotion Club, where you will be able to mingle with drivers and car owners while enjoying top class grandstand views of the race. Anyone who sets a time in the event is also eligible for in-game credits.

Rounding out the updates lineup are two Infinitis, a 2015 Mustang, and the 2013 Vauxhall Astra 1.6 Tech Line Top Gear Edition, the beloved British show’s most recent Reasonably Priced Car. The update also brings a handful of crucial performance updates, including livery caching and improvements for the Thrustmaster and MadCatz wheel peripherals that are currently available for Forza Motorsport 5 on Xbox One.

3 Xbox Game Pass games you need to play this weekend (May 3-5)

Senua in Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice.

Another weekend is upon us, and you're probably looking for some games to kill time with over the course of it. We're in a bit of a lull right now ahead of a flurry of releases starting next week, so it's a great time to dip back into the Xbox Game Pass catalog and check out some games that you may have missed. There are three games in particular that I think you should check out this weekend if you're looking for something to play.

One is an unsettling adventure that's getting an Xbox-exclusive sequel later this month. The next is a finely animated roguelike indie that recently made its way to Microsoft's gaming subscription service. Finally, there's a relaxing adventure that gives players a lot of freedom, yet is short enough to beat in a weekend. If you're having trouble deciding what to play this weekend, give one of these games a shot.

3 underrated PS Plus games you should play this weekend (May 3-5)

The main character of Tales of Kenzera: Zau stands with two elemental items.

PlayStation Plus Premium and Extra have been around for almost two years, and during that time the subscription service has established itself as an ample competitor to Xbox Game Pass. That means there is a wealth of great games for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 owners to check out if they're looking for something to play this weekend. I think PS Plus subscribers should be looking toward some of the more underrated games in the subscription service this weekend too.

I have three particular picks in mind. The first is an enjoyable Metroidvania that came to PS Plus' game catalog when it launched just a couple of weeks ago and deserves a lot more attention than it's getting. After that, there's an action-platformer that pays homage to series like Ninja Gaiden that you should check out before it leaves the catalog. Finally, there's a PS2-era Star Wars game that fills the niche a recently canceled game would have.

If you’re not using PlayStation Stars, you’re missing out

Three phone screens with the PlayStation Stars app.

I wouldn't blame you if you forgot PlayStation Stars existed. In fact, I would guess the majority of people out there have no idea what that even is, but PlayStation's reward program deserves more attention than it's getting.

Launched in the summer of 2022, PlayStation Stars is a program meant to reward players for engaging with the PlayStation ecosystem. You can take on challenges to earn digital collectibles and, more importantly, coins that can be redeemed for games, store credit, and some premium in-game currencies.
