Question about the codes from the Limited Forza Controller

[Schimmel ツ]

Can I get the items on the Steam version even if I have to redeem the codes in the Microsoft Store?

So those of us that bought the steam version, and the controller just have to miss out on it then? Is that correct?

Thats correct.

so basically people have gotten mugged off then.

Sucks to be me then, picked up the controller today and just entered my code in excitement via the site thinking it would work (as it's tired to your MS account anyways) but yeah nothing in game. Press "F" to pay respects. :(

If I it was more clear then yeah I probably wouldn't of pre-ordered the controller back in August as I don't remember seeing any mention of this but I could be wrong. I guess it sometimes pays to read the fine print.

*sigh*

i do get the feeling the devs will sort it out to be honest, the game is great, i wanted a new controller, so decided to get this one, probably more for the car but i want a controller with bluetooth anyway, still, it says on the box that all you need to access the content is to own forza 5 game, nothing on the box says anything about it not working on steam, infact it does not say anywhere that you need to own the microsoft version either, so if you walk into a shop and pick up the controller like i did, then you expect it to work with the game, so achievements work across both platforms, and so do the friends lists, so i would say that this can be sorted quite easily.

They won't "sort it out eventually", why would they do that when a dev has been on this thread not once but twice to say the Steam version doesn't get the car?

Just saying it to yourself over and over doesn't make something suddenly happen, there are very technical reasons why the car isn't available on the Steam version.

squeeky wheel gets the grease, if the game can have everything else thats on the other platforms, then there is no reason they cant put this in. also i dont recall saying it over and over again.

There is a very BIG reason why they can't put this car in, which has already been disclosed by the developers so you either didn't read what they said (which is basically ignorance) or you did read what they said but don't believe them (which would be stupidity). Either way the car isn't coming to the Steam version.

[Discositruuna]

Yeah, didint knew ether that the code works only for Xbox or Microsoft store game versions... well its cool controller and all but rip that code haha

[cadeharrison]

The way Playground Games/Microsoft handled this is wrong. There was nothing stopping them from including a Steam key with the controller as well. I got used to console exclusive DLC being a thing, but now PC storefront exclusive DLC as well?

It's technically console exclusive as well. It's also not up to Playground to decide how the keys are sent out or how they work, that's all on MS.

Doesn't matter what the box says, the developers have responded to this issue twice, IN THIS THREAD no less.

The code doesn't work on the Steam version and no amount of complaining is going to change that.

The Steam version of Forza Horizon 5 is different to the Microsoft Store and Xbox console versions, they have different inventories.

It's the same reason why there's no cross progression between the Microsoft Store/Xbox console version and the Steam version.

The controller was never designed with PCs in mind, it's an Xbox console controller, it's just compatible with PC which is not the same as being designed FOR PC.

Just like there used to be 2 different Xbox 360 controllers, one that was made for Xbox 360 and couldn't connect to PC natively and then another Xbox 360 controller that was specifically designed for PC that was wired and came with a driver disc. I used to own the PC version of that controller.

when you walk into a shop. do you google everything and search through the internet to see if what is advertised is true or false?

" monster-truck-looking Ford Coupe?"

i'm not sure what car that is? is it one of the custom cars that is technically a ford but rebuilt by a different company so it sits under a different manufacturer?

No, it's the one that can only be got from a code with the Forza Horizon Xbox controller and only redeemed on an Xbox console. Which maybe has something to do with us non-console players not being able to buy one from the auction house.

Can't it also be activated on the MSS version?
