Forza Horizon 5 Guide: Car List, Locations, Feature List, and More

Forza Horizon 5 is the fifth title in the Forza Motorsport-spinoff, open-world Horizon series.

The Horizon series is developed in the UK by Playground Games, and although the titles are inspired by the Motorsport series they’re quite a different prospect. Taking place in a large open-world map, the series is as much about driving between races and discovering the world as it is racing.

As an Xbox Studios title, FH5 is exclusive to the Xbox console family, and is available on Xbox One and Xbox Series consoles, along with PC through the Windows and Steam stores.

Introduction

After months of rumors, Playground Games revealed Forza Horizon 5 during the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase at E3 in June 2021.

The presentation confirmed several details that had long been part of speculation about the title. Firstly it was going to beat the next Forza Motorsport to launch, marking the first time that there was no Motorsport title between Horizon releases.

Also confirmed was the game’s location: Mexico. As with previous titles, this would be a large map based on the landscape of Mexico – specifically a region around the city of Guanajuato, a major location in the country’s motor industry – but not a direct 1:1 recreation. The map would also take in the Gulf coast, different types of desert, the rainforests, and an active volcano.

Release Date

Forza Horizon 5 launched on November 9 2021, with Early Access available from November 5 for players who bought the digital-only Premium Edition.

Those dates apply across all platforms, covering Xbox One and Series consoles, PC on Steam and Windows stores, and on Game Pass.

Features

Open World

Forza Horizon 5 is an open-world racer just like its predecessors. That means it’s set on a large map which takes inspiration from the real world — in this case Mexico — and players will be able to drive almost anywhere on it, not even limited to paved roads.

The map features a selection of areas themed around certain kinds of landscape, with 11 of these “biomes” in total. That covers the densely packed roads in urbanized areas of the central city of Guanajuato, different types of desert and coast, canyon, farmlands, and the Gran Caldera volcano.

There’s some physical barriers, including impassable geography, but otherwise players are able to drive from just about anywhere on the map to just about anywhere else in any manner.

It’s of particular note that the FH5 map is roughly 50% larger than the FH4 map, coming in at more than 40 square miles, and that the volcano is the highest point in the entire history of the Horizon games.

Story Mode

PG revealed more about the story mode of FH5 in early September 2021, and while it seemed broadly familiar there are also some radical changes.

Ultimately the base is the same theme as previous titles: the player participates in the “Horizon Festival”, a celebration of motoring which attracts car enthusiasts from around the world to drive and race together.

Unlike its predecessors, FH5 will feature six different Festival hubs, each centered on a different challenge. There’s the Apex Festival for road races, the Baja Festival for cross country, the Rush Festival for PR stunts, the Street Scene Festival for street races, the Wilds Festival for dirt races, and the Festival Main Stage which will serve as a story hub.

Players will need to drive around the fictional Mexican map on “Expedition” events to find new locations for the festival. These are like a cross between the Showcase events (though four of these are also in the game, including a race against a turboprop cargo plane and the traditional train race) and a Horizon Story, with players trekking to landmarks to set up new Festival sites.

This time round the game is based on Accolades, with players picking up Accolade points for various tasks and challenges of different difficulty levels — nearly 2,000 of them, going by the pre-release footage. It’s actually relatively similar to how the LEGO Speed Champions DLC for FH4 functioned, but split into different categories. You’ll also be able to bash XP signs to level up and fast travel boards.

All story mode events will be available both as single player and as co-op multiplayer too.

Season Changes & Weather

FH5 will bring back the season-change mechanism from FH4, though there are set to be a few changes. The seasons will keep their names, but to reflect the seasons of Mexico they’ll be appended with additional descriptors: summer is wet season, autumn is storm season, winter is dry season, and spring is hot season.

PG has discussed the weather in FH5 on a couple of occasions, and it appears that the discrete sets of weather for each season – as we saw in FH4 – are less of a thing than the climate for each biome. That would, for example, mean snow remaining on the map’s highest points during the hot season.

Other weather phenomena, such as sandstorms and hurricanes, have also been mentioned, and we’ll find out more in due course.

Customization

FH4 featured an incredible range of vehicle modifications, and that returns in FH5. The game features hundreds more visual upgrades and thousands more performance parts, with many vehicles able to have mechanical tuning of every major component and even engine and drivetrain swaps, with bodykits, light bars, and aerodynamic pieces available too.

The livery editor also returns from FH4 too. That allows players the scope to repaint and sticker-up their cars as they see fit.

In addition to car customization, players can change their avatar’s appearance in more detail than before. FH5 players will be able to pick hair styles and colors, pick voices and limb prostheses, and buy new clothing items with in-game credits — though rarer items can only come through the random luck of wheelspins.

DLC & Expansions

Like other recent games in Forza Horizon series, FH5 has received new cars free of charge each month — some returning from older games, some new to the series — as well as a paid DLC “Car Pass”. In total the Car Pass added 50 cars, at the rate of one-a-week, while a bonus “Welcome Pack” in the Premium version added another five.

There’s also been two expansion packs for FH5, out of a rumored three, although they have come much deeper into the game’s life than with previous titles.

Unusually, it was the toy-themed Hot Wheels Expansion that came first (previously we’ve seen Hot Wheels and LEGO as the latter of two packs), in July 2022 — eight months after launch. That would be followed by the Rally Adventure Expansion in March 2023, adding a new map area and an extra set of career races, along with ten new rally-themed cars.

Online Multiplayer

The FH5 online multiplayer is broadly similar to FH4’s, with races and events both against and co-operatively with other players online. There’s a couple of changes, such as the Forzathon Live event now becoming Horizon Arcade, and a new Horizon Tour feature that allows players to drive in convoy between race events. The Eliminator returns too.

As well as standard online modes, the “Drivatar” system will return, allowing you to race other people even if they aren’t online, and vice versa, through a virtual simulation of your pace and driving style.

A new system called “Forza LINK” will debut in FH5. It’s an AI assistant that keeps track of how you play the game and tracks your statistics in order to pair you up with other players online who have similar preferences or need to meet similar goals.

Xbox Series X Upgrades

As with FH4, FH5 will benefit from enhancements if playing the Xbox Series X or Series S versions rather than Xbox One.

Xbox One will hit a maximum 1080p resolution at 30fps. Series S also runs at 1080p30, but with an optional 60fps mode with some reduction in graphical effects to allow for the higher frame rate. Series X meanwhile also runs at 30fps but in 4K resolution, again with an optional 60fps mode.

You’ll also be able to see ray-tracing effects on the Series consoles, albeit in Forzavista only, and there’s the enhancements to loading times and audio that come with the new-generation consoles.

Car List

Although FH4 eventually packed in close to 800 cars, FH5 launched with a smaller stable of 534 cars available. Many of these were vehicles that had been in the previous game, with a handful of new additions like the Aston Martin Valhalla, and a few notable absences.

Starting in August 2021, PG started to reveal parts of the car list across social media. That was eventually paired up with a large, 420+ vehicle announcement, and some more of the blanks were filled in just ahead of launch.

FH5 has followed in FH4’s footsteps in providing new cars with each Series update and a paid add-on DLC Car Pass also adds another 42 vehicles — eight at launch and 34 coming at the rate of one car per week. Free additional cars also came with each month’s update, some returning from older games (including FH4) and some new.

Not all cars are available to purchase normally in the “Autoshow”, with some only available through the Wheelspin lottery, completing Playlist events, through the weekly Forzathon Shop, or sold by other players in the Auction House.

Track List

Horizon games don’t have tracks per se. They’re open-world games based on large maps inspired by the locations in which they’re based – in this case Mexico. The courses you race on then are based on the roads that cross the landscape, with 562 roads to discover in 56 areas of the map. As with previous titles, some will be rather short, some enormous, and there’ll be a mixture of laps and point-to-point.

However, previous Horizon games have also featured some areas specifically for racing: drag strips, stunt areas, and even a dedicated circuit in the LEGO Speed Champions DLC for FH4.

With the full map reveal in August 2021 we got to see several areas where drag racing could take place, along with a dirt racing facility — which could be the dedicated race circuit previously mentioned by PG — and the Horizon Stadium.

More importantly though is the “Event Lab” event creator tool, which allows you to create races pretty much anywhere in the game, as well as entirely new and unique events that run to their own rules.

Critical Reception

As with its predecessor, Forza Horizon 5 received mostly glowing reviews at launch, to become one of the most highly rated titles on the Xbox platform.

While it only matches FH4’s Metacritic score of 92, several outlets gave FH5 a perfect 100% score, and most praise the advances in visuals and sound effects, as well as the new environment.

When GTPlanet reviewed Forza Horizon 5 ahead of launch, we gave it a slightly higher score than Horizon 4, at 4.6 stars.

Achievements

Playground Games revealed the full list of Forza Horizon 5 Achievements during the Let’s Go live stream on October 4. The initial list, before any DLC expansions, consists of 53 Achievements, adding up to a total of 1000GS.

A lot of the list deals with game progression milestones, much as you’d expect. That covers details like the Showcase events, opening up the new Horizon Festival locations, uncovering all the Barn Finds, map exploration, and the traditional bonus boards.

Of course there’s a few more beside that require specific tasks, such as smashing up those cacti or performing stunts in a certain way. We’re also expecting more Achievements to come in DLC packs later in the game’s life.

    I would just love a game like this on the ps. It’s been such a success on xbox, strange why no one i the ps sphere tried mimicking it.

  2. HuskyGT

    That car list scared the heck out of me. Then I realized it’s just the cars seen in the gameplay presentation. I hope we see more teasers soon! The let hype begin.

  3. David Richards

    All I am interested in as a streamer will the cinectivity and load times be dramaticly improved. I love the game as do a lot of people but sitting watching as a veiwer on a stream it is painful and I lose veiwers.

  4. FKAustria1911

    I love FH4, still play the monthly series regularly. It’s probably my most played game of all times.
    That being said it is a huge disappointment for me that the “main mode” in FH5 on Series X will be 30 FPS. Yes, there is the “optional” 60 FPS mode. But it sounds like the game will be mainly optimized for the 30 FPS mode.
    30 FPS should be a thing of the past, especially for racing games and they should spend all their time and resources making the 60 FPS mode as good as possible, and then, if there is time left, make this useless 30 FPS mode “optional”.

    1. Moglet

      Most of the playerbase likely doesn’t even know what framerate the game is running at, much less care about it. I prefer 60fps myself too but I bet there are a lot of people who will buy the game and leave it in 30fps mode because it looks cool. Why would they put more effort into something most people don’t worry about?

      1. FKAustria1911

        Well that is really the point. Many people don’t have a clue and will leave it in the “default” mode and have a much worse experience.
        But also I think the topic has gained much more traction recently, even when you watch TV reviews nowadays much time is spent on whether and how the TV supports 120Hz, VRR and so on. You can’t really sell that your game plays in in 30 FPS when you know your TV can do 120.
        Ultimately they are shooting themselves in the foot, as a person who plays the game at 30 FPS for sure won’t play the game as much as one who plays with 60 FPS, the experience is just that much worse.
        Personally I bought Wreckfest a few months ago and when I first tried playing it, it didn’t have the 60 FPS mode yet and only ran in 30 FPS. I couldn’t bear this for more than 5 minutes and stopped playing and only later picked it up when they had the 60 FPS mode implemented and the game actually was quite fun for me playing then.

        So maybe there are still many people who don’t have a clue but I don’t think we are not far from the critical mass just not accepting 30 FPS anymore.

        They pulled something similar with the new Ratchet & Clank on PS5, and if you read up on 30 FPS/60 FPS comparisons on Youtube and check the comments then in practice pretty much no one decides to play in 30FPS anymore.

    They’ll still call the Rimac C_Two? It’s called the Rimac Nevera now.

    (oh nevermind I just read where you got the info from) It’s no longer called the C_Two, it’ll be called Nevera in-game.
