Through this partnership, Gillette and Xbox are launching the Gillette P1 Program, inviting gamers worldwide to unlock a 30-day Xbox Game Pass Ultimate membership with the purchase of a GilletteLabs razor and experience Gillette’s custom in-game content on Forza Motorsport including a bespoke rivals event and racing suit with helmet. The Gillette P1 Program will also offer a suite of tutorial videos from expert drivers and influencers that gives gamers everything they need to know in 30 days to sharpen their skills on the racetrack.

The Gillette P1 Program rivals event is a bespoke gaming event within Forza Motorsport which will challenge all Forza Motorsport players to clock their best lap-time. Expert gamers will provide tips and tricks via the Gillette P1 Program Tutorials to help gamers clock their best lap-time yet. Fans can then submit their timed lap via the Gillette P1 Program, for the chance to win amazing prizes. The Rivals in-game event will be available through Aug. 14, 2024.

To further amplify the partnership and engage with the global gaming community, the Gillette Gaming Alliance, an all-star team of streamers selected to represent the brand, will host two-hour live streams of both the “Gillette Rivals” event and P1 Program Tutorials on their dedicated channels for their dedicated audiences.
