Forza Horizon gets a Season Pass, $50 for access to all DLC
Microsoft has announced a Season Pass DLC plan for the upcoming Forza Horizon, the latest entry in the racing series that is set in a virtual representation of the state of Colorado. The Season Pass will cost $50 USD (or 4,000 Microsoft Points), and grant access to the game's Expansion Pack set to arrive in December.
Season Pass holders will also nab each of the six car packs as they're released over the next year, as well as five exclusive Season Pass vehicles and a batch of launch day rides. Turn 10 will reveal all of these cars gradually on its Twitter feed. The Season Pass (which represents a 17 percent saving on all of this content) will be available for purchase on October 23, right when the game turns the key for launch.
In addition, we've got tracklists for each of the game's three radio stations, all churning out tunes during the in-game "Horizon Festival." Have a look at the songs, after the break.

"Forza Horizon" Reveals Entire Music List, Season Pass Details and Behind the Scenes Video #2
New video documentary welcomes racing fans to the open roads of Colorado
Microsoft, Playground Games, and Turn 10 Studios have released a new edition of the "Forza Horizon –Behind the Scenes" video documentary series. In this latest edition of the video series fans have a chance to explore the open world playground of Colorado, which is the backdrop for all of the automotive action in Forza Horizon.
Forza Horizon's creators spent months creating the incredible version of Colorado that fans will be able to race, drive, and explore in Forza Horizon. In this video, fans will be able to get an inside look at how the team took the hundreds of hours of video footage and the tens of thousands of photographs gathered during multiple reference trips to Colorado, and translate them into the massive, fun-filled world that makes up Forza Horizon. From the treacherous sun-baked cliffs of Red Rock to the pulsing non-stop party that is the Horizon Festival itself, Forza Horizon's Colorado is an automotive playground brimming with intense action and surprises around every turn.
The multi-part "Forza Horizon: Behind the Scenes" video documentary series opens the door to the creation of this year's biggest racing game, Forza Horizon.
Forza Horizon Season Pass Details Released: The "Forza Horizon" Season Pass is your action-packed ticket to automatic access to the "Forza Horizon" Expansion Pack (available Dec. 18, 2012), along with six game car packs, as they're released through the next year.

The "Forza Horizon" Season Pass will be available for purchase starting Oct. 23, on the Xbox LIVE Marketplace for only 4,000 Microsoft points ($49.99 USD), representing a 17 percent overall savings as compared to purchasing the content separately.
