UK retailers offering choice between Forza 5 and FIFA 14 when preordering Xbox One Day One Edition.

UK retailers have begun offering free copies of Forza Motorsport 5 to those who preorder a Xbox One Day One Edition.

At Gamescom 2013, Microsoft announced that those who preordered an Xbox One Day One Edition in Europe would receive a free download code for EA’s FIFA 14 when the console launches, but Amazon UK, ShopTo, and Game are now all offering customers the option to purchase a SKU with the latest iteration of Turn 10’s racing franchise bundled instead.

While the Xbox One Day One Edition was previously sold out at most retailers, Microsoft corporate vice president Yusuf Mehdi said earlier today that the company had found a way to create additional units. “Because of the great progress that we’ve made by moving to full production and because of the demand we’ve seen, we’ve found a way to create a few more Day One SKUs.”

The Day One Edition of the Xbox One is only available via preorder, and contains a commemorative controller and an exclusive Achievement.

Microsoft is yet to confirm if its latest promotional offer will be made outside of the UK.

The $499/£429 Xbox One will launch in 13 territories, including the US and the UK, on November 22.
