Background music won't arrive to Xbox One until the summer

If you've been wanting to use your own tunes while having one of your intense gaming sessions, you won't be able to do that with the Xbox One until the summer. Mike Ybarra announced back in November that the Microsoft was working on making background music available to you. But they didn't specify a timeline for it. Twitter user Phil Spencer asked for our sake and the reply said it won't be coming until this summer. At least now there's sort of a timeline for it. In the meantime, you either have to stick to in-game background music or try and use Groove Music, although that takes up 20% of your screen, which we know can be annoying.

By Sonya & Jacob Davidson

The newest member of the Forza Motorsport Series is Forza 6 (released on September 15, 2015) and, according to my 15 year old son who's a BIG fan of racing games, is by far the best and most realistic game in the series created by Turn 10 Studios. 

Forza 6 is the most challenging of the series. If you love cars and you love racing this is an amazing game. There are more than 450 cars in this game and 26 tracks from all around the world including Rio, Yas Marina, and Brands Hatch just to name a few. This game is not just for already existing fans of the Forza series, it's great for those who have never experienced Forza before.
