Some UK retailers are now offering the choice between Xbox One Day One Edition bundles including either FIFA 14 or Forza 5.
Microsoft announced at Gamescom that those who pre-order the console in Europe would receive a free copy of EA’s FIFA 14 (http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/confirmed-fifa-14-comes-free-with-xbox-one/0120338). Then on Monday Microsoft altered its stance, saying that only the Day One version (http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/only-day-one-edition-xbox-one-s-get-free-fifa-14/0120609) would come with a free download of EA’s football sim.
Now retailers such as GAME and ShopTo are offering the Day One SKU with a choice of either FIFA 14 or Forza 5.
It’s unclear whether those who have previously ordered the FIFA 14 version of the bundle will be able to change their pre-orders to include Forza 5 instead.
This is presumably an official Microsoft promotion although there’s been no word yet from the platform holder.
UPDATE: It looks like the Forza 5 Day One Editions are sold out. Sorry folks.
