Forza Horizon 3 – 27th September – Xbox One
The Horizon Festival is heading to pastures new in order to bring fans of the series the most beautiful open-world so far – welcome to Australia. Customise your ride and character, before heading out to explore and compete in race events, Bucket List challenges as well as fresh new thrills like Danger Sign Jumps and Drift Zones. With over 350 vehicles to collect in your garage, and a four-player online co-op campaign, you have to wonder if there’s anything they’ve missed from this massive racing experience? Doesn’t seem like it.

FIFA 17 – 29th September – Xbox One & Xbox 360
Football season is well and truly underway, meaning it must be time for the official football series to release a new title. FIFA 17 comes with a fresh lick of paint, courtesy of the Frostbite engine, which injects new life into the football world. All the popular modes return such as Ultimate Team, Pro Clubs and Career, but there’s also room for an addition to the pack. The Journey looks to provide a story focused mode as you take the next big thing, Alex Hunter, through highs and lows of a footballer featuring life both on and off the pitch.

Payday 2: The Big Score is bigger, better, and contains more content than ever before in the Payday series, it’d be criminal to miss it. Everything from the Crimewave Edition of the bank robbing shooter has been included, as well as over 30 extra pieces of DLC covering heists, characters and weapons. There isn’t a more definitive Payday 2 offering on consoles than this, so get together with up to three friends in co-op and pull off the biggest heists in the business.
