Best answer: The DLC expansions will absolutely be worth buying, but the Ultimate Edition or Ultimate Add-Ons bundle represents better value.
- Best bundle: Forza Horizon 4 Ultimate Edition ($84 at Amazon)
- The upgrade: Forza Horizon 4 Ultimate Add-Ons bundle ($50 at Microsoft)
Two confirmed expansion packs
Forza Horizon 4 players are being treated to fresh content on a weekly basis as the seasons change and through regular Forzathon challenges, but the expansion packs offer something much more.
The first, Fortune Island, is already available and gives players an entirely new map to play through with additional races, stories, PR stunts, and achievements to enjoy. It includes the longest Driftzone in any Forza game to date and the terrain is quite different froming t the main map.
There will also be another expansion pack for Forza Horizon 4 but as yet it remains unannounced.
Ultimate Edition represents the best overall value
The Ultimate Edition of Forza Horizon 4 is pricey, but as it also includes the DLC expansions, which means it represents the best overall value. If you're not yet playing Forza Horizon 4, it's the one to get.
The Ultimate Edition includes the VIP Membership, Car Pass, and all currently released car packs. Buying all of this content separately will cost well in excess of the asking price of the Ultimate Edition.
Ultimate Add-Ons is best for current standard edition owners
If you have the standard edition of the game, spending extra on the Ultimate Edition for all its extra content makes entirely no sense, but fortunately, Microsoft has an answer.
All of the additional content the Ultimate Edition provides can be bought separately in the Ultimate Add-Ons bundle for $50. It works out to be a little more than the cost of the Ultimate Edition in total, but it's still the best bet if you want the DLC expansions and you already own the game.
Best value
Forza Horizon 4 Ultimate Edition
An amazing bundle for an amazing game.
With the VIP membership, two car packs, two expansion packs, and the Car Pass included, the Ultimate Edition is the best value Forza Horizon 4 version to get. And it's well worth the price of admission.
Good upgrade
Forza Horizon 4 Ultimate Add-ons Bundle
The pack to get if you own the standard edition
The expansion packs are definitely worth playing but buying them on their own doesn't represent great value. Instead, this add-ons pack gives you a ton of additional goodies for a very reasonable price.
