Anyone familiar with racing games knows that Need for Speed developer EA has a stranglehold on the rights to Porsches in video games. Who EA has a picture of and in what compromising position is unknown. However, other than a one timed alliance with Microsoft in 2012, Porsche fans could only find Stuttgart’s finest in Need for Speed or Real Racing 3 despite worldwide demand for something different. Whatever hold EA had over Porsche ended today with the announcement that Porsche is coming to Forza Horizon 2 for Xbox One with an expansion pack featuring 10 incredible Porsche models including:
- 1970 Porsche 914/6
- 1982 Porsche 911 Turbo

- 2003 Porsche Carrera GT
- 2012 Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0
- 2014 Porsche 911 Turbo S
- 2014 Porsche 918 Spyder
- 2015 Porsche Macan Turbo
- 2015 Porsche Cayman GTS

Even More Good News
Apparently, this isn’t another one off, like the 2012 offering. Instead, it’s just the start. Porsche, EA and Forza are all working together to bring the Porsche experience to Forza Motorsport 6 (due out later this year or early 2016).
