Microsoft’s most popular racing game franchise has hit mobile with Forza Street, which is now available to play on iOS and Android. And it’s entirely free to play.

Much like other games in the Forza franchise, you unlock cars by racing. New content is slated to come at weekly intervals, including events, stories, and challenges with each update, according to the game’s description.

Anyone owning a phone from the Samsung Galaxy S20 line gets extra perks, like a couple free cars (2015 Ford Mustang GT, 2015 C7 Corvette Z06) and other in-game items. Folks with older Samsung phones should still get that 2015 Ford Mustang GT for free, though for both offers, you’ll have to download through the Galaxy Store between now and February 6, 2021.

Other Android users, and iPhone users, don't get any extras – they'll just have to play through the game normally. 

And one last note: Forza Street is one of the rare games that supports 120Hz displays – which, though rare, have smoother screen scrolling thanks to their expanded refresh rate. The Samsung Galaxy S20 line is one example, though gaming phones like the Asus ROG Phone 2 also have the capability.

If you were hoping for a standalone HBO streaming app to finally launch in Australia, think again – Foxtel has announced a multi-year deal with WarnerMedia that will see it remain as the country's home for HBO content for the foreseeable future.

The deal, which retains exclusivity to HBO (including shows from the upcoming HBO Max streaming service, which launches in the US on May 27) also covers content from Warner Bros. and WarnerMedia networks, which would surely include original shows and films from the DC Universe streaming service.

• Netflix vs Stan, Foxtel Now and Amazon Prime

The WarnerMedia deal will extend Foxtel's access to a large catalogue of popular Warner Bros. TV shows, such as Friends and The Big Bang Theory, along with a vast library of movie favourites and channels such as Cartoon Network, Boomerang and CNN.

“We are pleased that after working together for almost 25 years we can announce an expansion of our relationship, not only with Warner Bros. and HBO, but with the extended WarnerMedia family,” said Foxtel CEO Patrick Delany.

Additionally, the partnership is said to involve a commitment on Foxtel's part to produce scripted and non-scripted programming for Warner Bros. International Television Production in Australia.

The deal has arrived in time for the expected launch of Binge, a rumoured upcoming streaming service from Foxtel which is said to offer a huge back catalogue of shows, as reported by the Australian Financial Review.

Never has the gaming industry had it so good. The Covid-19 led lockdown leading to a stuttering economy has left many twiddling their thumbs at home. And, it is into these hands that Microsoft is now getting its acclaimed Forza Street game. 

In the history of Microsoft's Forza racing franchise, this is the first time that a free-to-play street racing game has launched on both Android and iOS. By doing so, Microsoft, now has one of its games on a platform that it does not own. The Forza Street, a Miami street racing game, was launched last year for the PCs. 

True to form, the Forza Street is more about scoring new cars and giving them as many upgrades as possible than it is about winning the races. The main franchise has two separate series - the Forza Motorsport and the Forza Horizon. 

While the Forza Motorsport was developed by Turn 10 Studios as a Gran Turismo type racing sim that takes the player on professional tracks, the Forza Horizon from the Playground Games stable is an open-world driving game where each game takes the gamer into different countries. 

The last release from the Forza factor was the Horizon 4 which launched in 2018 while the next title could possibly be released in tandem with the launch of the Xbox Series X. 

By making its debut on the smartphone, Microsoft's longest-running Forza franchise could well be testing ground to check how users adapt to what is possibly a scaled -down version of the experience that one gets on a PC or a console. Why would they do that? Just to give a taste of the games so that post-lockdown they upgrade to a console or at least to the PC. 

The Forza Street is less about racing and more about timing the pedal press. So, in many ways it is really not what professional gamers seek when they hit the circuit. More than controlling the car, it is about how many times one taps the brake pedal and shifts back to the accelerator pedal, which means it is all about timing. 

Having said so, the game is fun to play though it remains to be seen how the controls handle when we get on to the smartphone. 

The game is available to download on the Google Play Store as also on the Galaxy Store and the App Store.
