This is my life on Steam.I made a FH5 FAQ post and stickied it to the from page of the r/ForzaHorizon subreddit, yet I still spent nearly an hour of my morning responding to post asking questions that were already answered in detail in the FAQ post.
Well, the moderators on discord have changed the timezone to New Zealand and warned against playing earlier than the Early Access release in your area.
This is no surprise, given the precedent they set in banning time travel back in FH4.
They probably know what region you're coming from and what time early access is available in that region based on your IP.
And playing earlier than the original release time would be reason enough to ban your account.
Of course, you will not be penalized for anything, and only the one who did this may benefit from it.
However, considering the risk of suddenly being handed a seven-day ban, waiting a few hours is a more solid action.

Why not just ask microsoft support via online chat to get a proper response? Then you will know once and for alll if its safe.A Discord moderator? No. Just...no.
There's no precedent for being banned over this as it sounds like everyone and their mother did it for FH4 and even 3.
Why no? It's a Discord moderator. Anyone can be assigned that role, no different than the moderators on FM.net. One of whom I've legitimately argued with for being grossly incorrect. About what, I don't remember (it was during the FM3 days, maybe?) but my point being is unless it's an official moderator from Microsoft/Turn 10 or Playground their word doesn't carry much weight.Why no

It’s probably easier (and more legit) to just go live there. 😅Under 12 hours away. If I have to switch my region to New Zealand every single time I want to play FH5, even after the worldwide release, then so be it.
That's if it works, of course...
I don't have the money for that though.It’s probably easier (and more legit) to just go live there. 😅
"Discussing exploits on how to get the game early is not allowed. Accessing the game outside of your region can lead to enforcement actions. For information on launch times, please check out our FAQ here: https://support.forzamotorsport.net/hc/en-us/articles/4402249796243-Forza-Horizon-5-Announce-FAQ" is the language provided by T10 staff to the Forza Discord moderators to reference in Forza's channels.Why no?

As for asking MS Support, I think that's a gimme to be honest. Playing it safe is one thing but I wouldn't take that as gospel. Now if an official T10 rep dropped by and said "Don't do that", that's ironclad.
There are some things relative to consoles that will result in a ban so that's a riskier route.
Comparison between standard Xbox One and Series X. Honestly the differences are minor at best, the only serious advantage for next gen is higher resolution and 60 fps mode. I'd say the difference is a lot less pronounced than between Forza Horizon 2 Xbox 360 and Xbox One versions.
Wow, Playground Games leaking their own cars!Excuse the terrible screenshot from my phone, but I spotted this in the launch trailer:
