Microsoft is attempting to boost the launch lineup for the Xbox One with preorder bonuses for three of the system’s earliest releases.
Ryse: Son of Rome, Forza Motorsport 5, and Dead Rising 3 are all getting special Day One Editions that feature exclusive content. These special versions of the games are only available if you preorder through a retail outlet or download them from Xbox Live in the first two weeks after launch. Each game will debut alongside the console, which still does not have a firm release date. Microsoft has repeatedly said it will unleash the next-gen system in November.
