It’s happening to me, too, and I preordered the game not long after E3. I’m wracking my brain trying to figure this out and it’s driving me mad!

I have the same problem I played this night when the game launched in my country (Italy), played for 30 min then it gave me an error, so I tried again this morning and it says it’s too early. I’ve checked on the store and it says that I didn’t buy the Premium Add-On, which I bought weeks ago aswell. Plus I checked in my purchases history and on Premium Add-On it says “status: not successful” (don’t know the correct translation from italian) but something like that. I don’t really wanna pay again since I didn’t even get my money back.

I have the same problem, I played this night on launch for 30 mins, then an error occurred and I went to sleep, this morning I tried to play and it says was too soon but I bought the premium add-ons weeks ago. So I checked the purchases history and it says “status: not successful” kinda like it blocks me from paying it but I paid already and I didn’t even have my money back.

Hey everyone, I have downloaded Forza Horizon 5 with the Game Pass (10/5), and bought the Premium bundle (2 days ago), the early acces is available worldwide but it keeps telling me " too early to play "
I saw some people with the same problem, so I tried to contact Forza support on Twitter but no response, and Microsoft support is not available.
Is anyone have a solution please ? Thank you

I wanted to buy that premium dlc really just so I could play early. I feel silly buying the game since I have game pass. Any chance to get an answer on if this is getting fixed?

Same issue here, told by Microsoft support that I have to contact the developer… Can’t see how it’s the developers issue when it’s on the Microsoft store, a Microsoft operating system, and purchased directly through Microsoft… Pretty ridiculous the fact Forza haven’t even acknowledged this issue

It seems a large number of people are having the same issue as well, when looking on Twitter.

Yep me too guys, same problem … A bit frustrating as I paid for Early Access.

Is anyone with this issue game sharing ?

I am. One of us owns Game Pass, the other owns the Premium addon. It doesnt launch for either one of us. I can only get it to launch if I login to both accounts at once which isn’t helpful since we both want to play.

I had to get the premium addon DLC refunded, then I bought game pass on the account what didn’t have it (the other account I share with did), then I bought the premium addon again at the discounted price for game pass owners, and then it worked for me.

i was worried this would happen. that’s why i didn’t want to play 12:01am this morning. i wanted to wait and see if this would happen instead of me playing too early and not getting the extra credits and perks i should’ve. i get off work at 5 and planned on playing all weekend. i hope this gets fixed soon

I’m having the same issue. Game sharing game pass, downloaded the game yesterday and bought the premium add-on today. Can’t launch it.

This sucks and doesn’t state it anywhere if it’s a game pass sharing issue… I don’t really care about spending the money because I would’ve bought the premium add-on anyway, just wanted early access so I can play this weekend…
