The games that will be available for people to try include Battlefield 4, Dead Rising 3, Fifa 14, Forza 5, Killer Instinct and Ryse. In a statement related to the tour, UK Xbox Brand Marketing Manager Marianne McLardy said, “we can’t wait to let people try it out,” stating that visitors will be able to “experience the blockbuster line-up of games coming to Xbox One” when the tour hits the UK later this month.

In addition to the UK, the Xbox One tour will be stopping throughout Europe and the US with customised Xbox One “Test Drive” vehicles that will be visiting university campuses, retail centers and festivals throughout not only the UK, but France, Germany, the US and Canada as well.
