Forza 5 needs day-one DLC to play

Xbox One launch title Forza 5 will require a free update from Xbox Live before it can be played.

Forza 5 developer, Dan Greenawalt, said that the free update would be installed as soon as players started the game.

"When you first boot up the game we're going to ask you to log in, and when you log in you're going to get a whole bunch of content: tracks and cars," he told IGN.

"That is required content to play the game."

This means that players will have to be connected to the internet to play Forza 5 initially, although presumably players will then be able to play offline if they wish.
