Now Playing: Forza Motorsport 7 Video Review

"With athletic training and competitions currently postponed due to COVID-19, Special Olympics are looking for new ways to connect, compete, and just have fun," Microsoft said in a news release. "Enveloping this event will be stories of the athletes themselves--allowing a broad fanbase to know who they are, what they care about, how they are feeling-- and cheer them on as they discover new community and excitement in playing Forza Motorsport 7."

As part of this partnership, Xbox users can donate their Microsoft Rewards points online and through your console through the Microsoft Rewards app. For this special charity drive, Microsoft will match Rewards points donations until the end of June.

Microsoft has been a partner of the Special Olympics since 2014. In 2017, Xbox helped coordinate the first-ever gaming tournament at the Special Olympics USA Games in Seattle, Washington.
