Turn 10 is planning a major change to one of its more controversial systems in Forza Motorsport 7 . Prize Crates, the Forza version of loot boxes, will be removed entirely in an upcoming update. As now, the power of Prize Crates has been significantly reduced.
In the announcement, studio head Alan Hartman say:
“The overwhelming feedback has been that this system feels out of place in the game.”
As a result, both Prize Crates will be removed and paid tokens won’t be coming to replace them. Paid tokens also won’t be a part of the upcoming Forza Horizon 4.
Since Prize Crates were into the progression system of Driver Gear, Mods, and Badges, it will take some time to remove them. The team is aiming for winter.
“The current lineup of prize crates offer no competitive advantage and only offer Driver Gear suits, Mods, and badges, and these crates will remain in place until crates are removed entirely,” the update states.
Forza Motorsport 7’s prize crate system never took real-world money,but it did act like to be a testing ground for microtransactions.
The launch of Forza Horizon 4 is planned for PC and Xbox One on October 2, 2018.
