Players who pick up the expansion will get access to 24 NASCAR cars from the 2016 NASCAR season, complete with digital re-creations of their real-world drivers and wraparound sponsorship branding. After installing the new DLC, all modes in Forza Motorsport 6 will be updated to feature NASCAR-themed Rivals, Leagues and multiplayer hoppers.

The expansion also unlocks the oval-shaped Homestead-Miami Speedway racetrack for play in all modes. NASCAR newcomers, meanwhile, can catch up on the association’s history and underlying technology via a series of included “Voices of Motorsport” featurettes narrated by NASCAR drivers Jimmie Johnson, Kurt Busch, and Chase Elliott.

In addition to digitally re-creating real-world NASCAR races, Forza Motorsport 6‘s latest expansion presents a series of fantasy scenarios via its included NASCAR World Tour career mode. Missions in the new campaign put players in control of NASCAR stock cars as they take on Australian V8s, WEC prototypes, and other vehicles in high-stakes races around the world.

Other gameplay additions hitting Forza Motorsport 6 this week include rolling starts, a new Quick Stop mode, and “a more complex drafting model” that will ensure more competitive races, according to series developer Turn 10 Studios.

Forza Motorsport 6‘s NASCAR expansion follows up on the recent announcement of Forza Motorsport 6: Apex, a stripped-down Windows 10 port supported by microtransactions. Forza Motorsport 6: Apex is currently in beta, and new modes, features, and playable vehicles will be added in the months ahead as development progresses. A public release for Forza Motorsport 6: Apex is scheduled for mid-2016.

Football fans have the Madden games, baseball fans have MLB The Show, and basketball fans wait every year for the new NBA 2K entry. This year, we have NBA 2K26 with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Angel Reese, and Carmelo Anthony each appearing as the cover athlete on the various editions of the game. All the classic modes are back, including MyCAREER, MyTeam, MyNBA, The W, and more, but the big question is if you can play online with friends on other platforms like you can with Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4, or is it limited like Madden NFL 26? Before you rush the hoop and grab NBA 2K26, I'm calling a timeout to fill you in on all the cross-platform details.

We're officially in the throes of summer and, depending on where you live, suffering through the incredible heat. While I always think it's good to get out and enjoy the summer, there's a limit on how much sun we can take and need to head inside to relax with some cool Game Pass games. I'm especially excited for this weekend because there's one game here that not only screams summer, but also tickles that nostalgic part of my brain. I think even newcomers will love that pick, but I always throw in two other options just in case you're looking for something a bit different. Make sure you check out my last pick because I know you've never heard of it, and it might just be your weekend obsession.
