To celebrate the upcoming theatrical release of Furious 7 this April, the latest in the long-running Fast & Furious film franchise, Microsoft is teaming up with Universal to “ bring a unique, interactive, and exclusive experience to millions of Xbox fans worldwide.” That experience is coming in the way of a new standalone expansion pack for Forza Horizon 2, that puts players into the world of the upcoming film.

Featuring more than 11 “iconic” vehicles from the movies (see below), players will be tasked with acquiring new cars in the south of France “for the Fast & Furious crew’s next big mission.” Along with a series of car challenges, unlockables, and sharing via the Forza website/Xbox One Hub app, there will also be free roaming across the south of France and voice work from actor/artist Chris “Ludacris” Bridges as Tej Parker, your expert mechanic.
Forza Horizon 2 Presents Fast & Furious will be available as a free download on Xbox One and Xbox 360 for a limited 2 week period from March 27th through April 10th. After that date the expansion will run you $10, but those who snagged it for free “can continue to play without restriction.”
