Forza Horizon 5 Horizon Tour: What Is The Horizon Tour?

The Forza Horizon 5 Horizon Tour is one of the many activities that you can race through as part of the seasonal event. Forza Horizon 5 is currently in its winter season, offering up the ID Zerouno '18 and Subaru 22B vehicles, which you can only unlock by earning points. The Horizon Tour is one of those many ways to earn points. 

The Forza Horizon 5 Horizon Tour itself is a three-race co-op event where players will face off in two teams of six, split between the red and blue team. The goal is to have the majority of your team place in the top six to earn points, and as such, you don't want to be running your team off the road just for you to get first place. The race takes place on dirt tracks and will use C-Class vehicles. Once any given race is over you will then drive collectively to the next race, and so on.

Forza Horizon 5 Horizon Tour: How To Access The Horizon Tour

The Forza Horizon 5 Horizon Tour can easily be found in the Festival playlist. Just hit the pause button and find the playlist on the left of the world map. Once in there, you will be treated to the current reward cars, along with weekly and daily challenges. Scroll through to the right until you come across the various activities. On the bottom right, you should see the Horizon Tour Co-Op Championship. By clicking on it, you will be put into a waiting lobby, before eventually joining the Forza Horizon 5 Horizon Tour. Since this is a part of the winter season, you will only have until December 4 to take part in it. 

  • Want to know the roads of these races a little better? We've got a Forza Horizon 5 map guide you should have a look at. 

Forza Horizon 5 Horizon Tour: Rewards

Of course, the ultimate reward for the Forza Horizon 5 Horizon Tour is to gain enough points to earn the latest legendary cars. For that, the Horizon Tour will grant you three Forza Points. For context, you will need 22 and 42 points to earn either of the reward cars. Additionally, from taking part in the event you will earn your usual rung of XP and skill points, which obviously increase depending on your position in the race. If this is your first Horizon Tour race, you will also earn the Tourist Attraction achievement. 

That's everything you need to know about the Forza Horizon 5 Horizon Tour. Looking for an activity that will bag you a little bit more money? Check out our Forza Horizon 5 Goliath glitch .

A list of all the Forza Horizon 5 Tour races/schedule rotation

tour propre forza horizon 5

Forza Horizon 5 Tour is a co-op multiplayer mode where you and a team of five other players compete against AI drivatars in three consecutive Apex, Wilds or Baja races across the map. Whether you came across the Forza Horizon 5 Tour races from the Festival Playlist or it’s already one of your favorite FH5 features due to its cooperative nature and more lowkey, laidback nature compared to competitive online races, what might not be apparent from the get-go is a definitive list of all the Forza Horizon 5 Tour races nor their rotation schedule.

Ninja Gaiden was my rite of passage at an early age. After finally beating that game (and narrowly dodging carpal tunnel) I decided to write about my gaming exploits. These days I enjoy roguelikes and anything Pokemon but I'll always dust off Super Mario RPG, Donkey Kong Country and StarFox 64 from time to time to bask in their glory.

Alors que faut il faire exactement pour effectuer un tour propre svp ?

Ne pas toucher le moindre mur, et si le tour d'avant tu as touché et que ça t'a aidé à aller plus vite, tu peux être sanctionné au second tour, que celui-ci ne compte pas non plus.

Forza Horizon 5 for Xbox & PC ultimate guide: Gameplay, trailers, and everything you need to know

Forza Horizon 5 is one of the best racing games you can play right now.

What is Forza Horizon 5?

  • Windows Central review
  • Story & campaign
  • Features & gameplay
  • Accessibility
  • Release date

Forza Horizon is the open-world counterpart of the legendary Xbox Forza racing franchise, and Forza Horizon 5 is the latest entry in the series. Following the hugely successful Forza Horizon 5, FH5 sets the bar even higher with an expanded open-world set in Mexico, hundreds of cars, and countless quality-of-life improvements and additions.

Playground Games and Xbox Game Studios know how to deliver a premium open-world racing experience, with Forza Horizon 5 solidly maintaining its position as one of the best Xbox racing games and best PC racing games released in recent memory. Of course, FH5 is also gargantuan, with an absurd amount of content capable of keeping even the most hardcore completionists busy for dozens of hours.

Here's everything you need to know about Forza Horizon 5 for Xbox and PC now that it's officially released.

Forza Horizon 5

Forza Horizon 5

Playground Games has delivered its latest masterpiece with Forza Horizon 5, which features the series' most diverse map and largest car list yet. The game continues to grow over time, as well, giving players even more reasons to jump in.

Buy from: Amazon | Xbox

Screenshot of Forza Horizon 5 depicting various cars racing.

Forza Horizon 5 is the follow-up game to Playground Games' Forza Horizon 4 from 2018. Like other Forza Horizon games, Forza Horizon 5 is an open-world racing game with gorgeous visuals, accessible driving mechanics, and a massive roster of high-quality, licensed vehicles from dozens of manufacturers, all centered around the fabled Forza Horizon festival. And, also like previous Forza Horizon games, FH5 is exclusive to Xbox and PC platforms.

Forza Horizon 5 is the more arcade-like open-world counterpart to the highly anticipated eighth Forza Motorsport . While Forza Horizon 5 is available now, fans will have to wait a while longer for the arrival of Forza Motorsport (2023). Playground Games and Turn10 share a ton of technology and resources between them, as well, which means FH5 may give us a peek at the quality that can be expected from Forza Motorsport.

Forza Horizon 5 is akin to a "car-lovers sandbox," and lets you play however you want. While there is a story and full-blown campaign with the Horizon Adventure, Expeditions, and smaller Horizon Stories, it's still up to players how they progress and what path they take. All in all, the focus of Forza Horizon 5 is the vast arsenal of cars, the wide variety of races and events, the sheer level of creative freedom available, and the deeply integrated online multiplayer gameplay.

With the Festival Playlist making its return in Forza Horizon 5 — complete with a wide variety of improvements and expansions — along with planned premium expansions and more, FH5 is looking forward to years of constant post-launch support and love. Also, the Forza Horizon community can contribute more to the game's longevity than ever before, with the inclusion of EventLab and other creator tools providing endless possibilities for Forza Horizon 5.

That isn't to say the game is perfect. Forza Horizon 5 has plenty of issues , but Playground is perpetually tracking them and fixing them with constant patch updates and hotfixes.

You can check out more images of Forza Horizon 5 below, including some incredible wallpapers featuring mural art that appears in-game.

Windows Central reviews Forza Horizon 5

Official screenshot of Forza Horizon 5.

Our Forza Horizon 5 preview showed that FH5 was truly deserving of the hype, and gave us hope that the ambitious title would actually deliver on all of its promises. Our Forza Horizon 5 road trip helped us fall in love with the gorgeous world long before release.

With our full Forza Horizon 5 review , it was confirmed beyond a shadow of a doubt that Playground Games and Xbox Game Studios have crafted one of the best racing games of all time, a title that will provide hours of fun for years to come and doubtlessly inspire future racing titles. Even when FH5 players have gotten through the majority of content in the base game, Forza Horizon 5's multiplayer is grander and more accessible than ever before , with a nearly endless amount of content to explore.

There's certainly a lot to love about Forza Horizon 5, even if there's still room for Playground to improve its formula further with the next Forza Horizon title. Forza Horizon 5 is more than just another racing game , and has cemented itself as the premiere racing game on any platform.

Forza Horizon 5: Hot Wheels

The first full-blown DLC expansion for Playground Games' flagship title is Forza Horizon 5: Hot Wheels , which adds a ton of fresh content to the game. As the name suggests, this expansion is made in collaboration with the Hot Wheels brand, and as such features a variety of Hot Wheels cars and a brand-new map filled with diverse, twisting, looping, and speeding Hot Wheels tracks.

Our own Brendan Lowry wrote that Forza Horizon 5: Hot Wheels makes him "feel like a kid again," highlighting how the new DLC embraces pure, unfettered fun in its quest to add hours of additional gameplay to FH5's base experience. Players can explore a new standalone campaign and complete a variety of missions and challenges while they explore the varied biomes of the world-in-the-sky.

Interestingly, Forza Horizon 5 is the first time where the map is exactly what was originally planned — no map content had to be cut throughout development. Even more impressive, it'll continue to evolve over time, with Festival Playlist and Series updates able to alter the world with new decorations, races and events, and more.

It can be tough to keep track of every car in a Forza Horizon game, especially when you're looking for something specific, but our Forza Horizon 5 full car list is constantly updated with every car we know of, including gifts, DLC additions, special cars, and much more.

There are already well over 600 cars in Forza Horizon 5, including legendary vehicles like the DeLorean, and Playground Games will continue to add more as time goes on through the Car Pass, expansions, the Festival Playlist, and more. If you want to be the first to know about new additions as they happen, be sure to bookmark our ultimate FH5 car list above.

What is the story & campaign in Forza Horizon 5?

Official screenshot of Forza Horizon 5 depicting a car's steering wheel.

While the story or plot in a racing game may not be the most crucial element for some players, it can still add a lot to the experience for those who do appreciate it. Forza Horizon 4 was gently criticized by the community for its lackluster story and general lack of direction for players, so Playground Games went back to the drawing board for Forza Horizon 5. FH5 takes players on a journey through the Horizon Adventure to have their name added to the Hall of Fame, and the drive there should be pretty wild.

Here's everything we know about the story and campaign in Forza Horizon 5:

  • Haley is your number one when it comes to the know-how of Horizon Mexico and making things happen. She's a good friend of Keira, who filled a similar role in Forza Horizon 4 (and is apparently still there looking after Horizon Britain)
  • You are the boss of Horizon Mexico, and that means it's up to you to decide what direction the Festival goes in. It's also important to note that you are the champion of Horizon Britain, so your name is known far and wide in Mexico
  • For the first time ever, your character has voiced lines and interacts with other characters throughout the story, which is a big shift for how Forza Horizon titles handle story content
  • You have to reach the Hall of Fame to unlock Forza Horizon 5's end game, which includes new Accolades, Horizon Stories, and The Trial mode for the Festival Playlist
  • Horizon Adventure has its own charming screen in FH5 that clearly outlines the areas and chapters, and will be the hub from which players will choose their path. The Horizon Adventure screen is visually distinct with amazing-looking stylized graphics
  • The Horizon Adventure is how you unlock Expeditions (covered below), new Festival sites, Showdowns, and much more
  • Individual areas in the Horizon Adventure feature unique themes, Festival sites, Horizon Stories, and much more
  • It'll take approximately 10 to 30 hours for most players to finish the Horizon Adventure and reach the Hall of Fame, depending on their priorities and playstyle
  • There are thousands of Accolades, but players will not need to 100% them to finish the FH5 story. After completing the campaign, there will still be plenty of reasons to play and new Accolades to complete
  • Accolade progression continues no matter how you play FH5, be it with solo play, online, in co-op, or anywhere else
  • Expeditions go all over Mexico, including over an active volcano, through a storm-torn jungle, and more. Expeditions also put players behind the wheel of a variety of vehicles
  • Expeditions feature optional Accolades to complete while on your journey, like finding specific locations, taking pictures, choosing spots for gear and sites, and more
  • You can play Expeditions by yourself, or in co-op with friends, and all progress is retained no matter what
  • Horizon Stories feature multiple chapters that can be played through, which can carry individual stories all over the world
  • Horizon Stories can also feature branching paths and player choices, which can be replayed at any time
  • Horizon Showcases . Forza Horizon's massive Showcase events have always been a way to show off how far the game can go, and allow players to display their skills and feel like a true racing master. In Forza Horizon 5, players are able to participate in four Horizon Showcases, which promise to be bigger and grander than ever before. The first Showcase pits players against a cargo plane, and another Showcase will have players race a train once again.

What are the features & gameplay in Forza Horizon 5?

Screenshot of Forza Horizon 5.

A new Forza Horizon game always comes with at least a handful of new features and improvements over its predecessor, but Forza Horizon 5 delivers even greater amounts of content to players. The extra year of development Forza Horizon 5 got over previous entries in the series clearly helped things along because there is a lot about which to talk. Not only has Playground Games baked in significantly more content into Forza Horizon 5's base game, but it's also given the community a way to add essentially infinite new events and races to Forza Horizon 5 over time. FH5's online features have seen significant improvements to more completely connect players all around the world.

Here's everything we know about the features and gameplay in Forza Horizon 5:

Game features and visuals

Official screenshot of Forza Horizon 5.

This is the biggest Forza Horizon in more ways than one, which means players have more ways to play and more reasons to keep returning. This is also by far one of the most gorgeous games we've ever seen, and Playground Games has achieved this feat with several methods.

Here are some of the best features about Forza Horizon 5 and its visuals:

  • Horizon Mexico is the main Horizon Festival site in Forza Horizon 5, where players begin their journey. This site is situated on an abandoned airstrip (great for drag races) and right next to a fantastic racing circuit
  • Horizon Apex features a number of asphalt road races, and focuses on high-performance vehicles
  • Horizon Wilds is Apex, as it revolves around dirt roads and offroad racing
  • Horizon Rush is set back in the wild canyons of Mexico, and revolves around dangerous and ridiculous PR stunts like jumps, speed traps, and more
  • For the very first time, Forza Horizon's semi-legal Street Scene racing series gets its own tournament, with the aptly named Horizon Street Scene Festival
  • Finally, Horizon Baja is all about cross-country racing through a variety of environments, and can be found in FH5's Living Desert biome
  • There are at least 15 Barn Finds in FH5
  • Our Forza Horizon 5 Barn Finds list keeps track of every Barn Find in FH5, including how to unlock it yourself
  • The use of photogrammetry, which saw Playground Games send dedicated teams of photographers all over Mexico to take thousands of pictures of locations and objects, to accurately capture everything from the individual needles on a cactus to the unique texture of volcanic boulders. Almost everything in Forza Horizon 5 is based on photogrammetry
  • A 12K resolution recording of the real Mexican sky, meaning the sky you see in Forza Horizon 5 literally couldn't look more authentic if it tried. This also makes the sky feel more dynamic as time passes and the weather changes
  • The addition of more 3D effects, like new dynamic weather events, which evolve from pure textures to actual 3D occurrences that can affect the world and player perspective
  • The addition of ray tracing when in Forzavista, showcasing Forza Horizon 5's cars in the most realistic light possible
  • The highest amount of detail on roads for a Forza Horizon game, including location-specific textures (like deteriorating quality as players approach the volcano)
  • Hundreds of cinematics and cutscenes, which tie in with FH5's newly revitalized story and campaign elements
  • Photo and Drone Modes . Forza Horizon games have always been visual showcases, and it stands to reason that players would want to show off their custom cars when playing. Photo Mode returns in Forza Horizon 5, and takes advantage of FH5's numerous visual and graphical upgrades. On top of this, Drone Mode is also here, letting players fly around Mexico by leaving their cars behind.
  • Updated user interface (UI) . The UI in Forza Horizon 5 finally gets a long-overdue redesign, which makes activities like car customization and more in Forza Horizon 5 more accessible and efficient. Menus are simplified and are easier to scan, while various menus are completely redesigned, such as car upgrades and customization.
  • Drivatars and traffic . Drivatars return in Forza Horizon 5, as expected, giving players realistic and challenging opponents to go up against when not racing online. AI Drivatars have been overhauled in Forza Horizon 5 to be more receptive to individual players' abilities and offer a more realistic and dynamic experience.
  • Force feedback has been greatly improved, partially thanks to improved physics systems like suspensions and braking
  • Far more settings and options for players who use a wheel, which are also contextual
  • The best Forza Horizon 5 steering wheels all take advantage of these improvements across a variety of price points and needs
  • Achievements support . Forza Horizon 5 of course features Achievements for players to unlock and complete, and the full Forza Horizon 5 Achievements list breaks down how to finish them all.
  • Different currencies . Forza Horizon 5 features a lot of currencies , with each having a different purpose, including XP, Credits, Kudos, Forzathon Points, Skill Points, and Accolade Points. FH5 introduces these currencies and their uses gradually to players, so that they never become overwhelming.

Open world, biomes, and seasons

Screenshot of Forza Horizon 5 depicting trucks driving across the desert.

Forza Horizon 5 has a broad open world to explore, and marks the return of seasons that were introduced in Forza Horizon 4. Forza Horizon 5's map is also the largest and most diverse world we've ever seen in a Forza Horizon game, with major changes even for existing features like seasons and weather.

Here are some of the best features about Forza Horizon 5's world:

  • The largest highway in a Forza Horizon game yet, which stretches nearly corner to corner in Forza Horizon 5
  • Several towns and cities, all of which capture Mexican culture in beautiful and colorful ways
  • The return of multiple Horizon Festival sites, with the first Festival site being located on top of an old racetrack and airstrip (that's right, drag racing!)
  • Arid Hills — An excellent choice for offroading fans, the Arid Hills biome feature dry and grassy plains and hills, and even feature a lake that dries up in the winter and opens up new secrets and routes
  • Canyon — One of the more striking FH5 areas, the Canyon biome is filled with unique rock formations and striations, including the existence of hoodoos (rock pillars and columns) and tons of reverb and echoes for audio
  • Farmland — Farmlands in FH5 aren't like the farms in previous games, and feature lots of hilly and varied terrain filled with diverse foliage and vegetation, fruit-bearing trees, and much more for players to explore
  • Jungle — As in the real world, the Jungle biome in FH5 is the most foliage dense and claustrophobic of all the biomes, with a ton of trees and other vegetation, heavy fog from heat and humidity, and a ton of secrets for players to discover
  • Living Desert — Not every desert is dry and full of nothing but sand, as is proven by the Living Desert biome in FH5, which features a ton of vegetation like cactuses and flowers, and even boasts of unique rock formations
  • Urban City — Headlined by Guanajuato, the Urban City biome is exactly as the name implies: an urban area densely packed with beautiful buildings showcasing Mexican architecture and culture, and lots of tight roads to drive down
  • Sand Desert — The Sand Desert biome is closer to your typical desert, and is perfect for speed demons and offroading fanatics, as it features tons of towering sand dunes and long, straight roads
  • Swamp — One of the most interesting biomes in FH5 is the Swamp, an absolutely gorgeous area that connects jungles to oceans and is filled with beautiful blue-green shallow water, rooted mangrove trees that can be crashed through, and more
  • Tropical Coast — Most of the time, the Tropical Coast biome in FH5 is the definition of a picturesque Mexican vacation, with resorts, long white-sanded beaches, palm trees, and more, but that all changes with tropical storms in the wet season
  • Rocky Coast — While it's still bordering the ocean, the Rocky Coast biome is the polar opposite of the Tropical Coast (they appear on opposite ends, in fact), and is characterized by unique rock formations, long uninterrupted beaches, and a golf course
  • Volcano — The Volcano is not only the largest geographical location ever in a Forza Horizon game, but it's also the highest and features blistering blizzards, long winding roads, and even a volcanic research center and satellite dish
  • Every season behaves and looks different depending on where you are on the map (you can be in a blizzard on the mountain top and then drive down to the sweltering coast, for example)
  • Biomes completely change for different seasons, including some areas only being accessible during a specific season
  • Seasons affect gameplay in new and exciting ways and are even more deeply integrated. There are new events, challenges, and rewards for every season
  • The season will still change once every week
  • Seasons are localized for how they appear in Mexico, meaning Spring is the Hot Season, Summer is the Wet Season, Autumn is the Storm Season, and Winter is the Dry Season
  • Storm chasing, which means players can keep an eye out for major storms and literally track them across Forza Horizon 5's world
  • Tropical and dust storms, which have huge and dramatic effects on the world. Dust storms are 3D, encapsulating everything and obstructing your view. Tropical storms shred trees and everything else in the area with high levels of wind, causing a buildup of debris
  • These storms can grow and swell as they occur, but tend to stick in the location they started in. Storms can appear in multiple locations around the map
  • Playground Games used an updated version of their sky capture rig, which uses three 8K cameras to stitch together a 12K picture of the sky
  • Over 400 hours and 75TB of the Mexican sky was recorded, with the best parts picked out to be used in FH5
  • Forza Horizon 5 uses advanced interpolation and algorithms to seamlessly stitch these recordings together, creating a nonstop and authentic Mexican sky
  • All this work means there are significantly more weather presets for races and events, up to 2,000 (versus just over 300 in Forza Horizon 4)
  • Original compositions from Mexican musicians for FH5's soundtrack
  • Original artwork and murals from seven Mexican artists, including the one in the FH5 debut gameplay trailer by Farid Rueda
  • Mexican writers and voice actors, which portray many of the characters in FH5
  • A ton of foliage, including cactus, is smashable in Forza Horizon 5, so you don't have to worry about them getting in your way
  • Animals make a return, including flamingos, wild dogs, donkeys, goats, horned sheep, parrots and other birds, and more. Animals are more intelligent than in Forza Horizon 4, and can even have unique behaviors
  • A ridiculous attention to detail, including how flocks of monarch butterflies can appear in certain locations and certain times of the year, coinciding with the annual monarch butterfly migration that moves through Mexico
  • Plenty of pop culture references and easter eggs . Forza Horizon 5 features a ton of references to popular forms of media and secret easter eggs, both in its Achievements list and its world. If you pay close attention, who knows how many you'll be able to discover.

Cars, character, and event customization

Official screenshot of Forza Horizon 5.

If there's one thing that brings Forza Horizon players together like nothing else, it's the sheer level of creative freedom afforded by the games. Forza Horizon 5 is the most customizable and inclusive Forza Horizon yet, with nearly infinite replayability thanks to new player tools and features. Players have control over their cars, in-game characters, races, and even full-blown unique events you can't find anywhere else.

For even more in-depth information, we've compiled complete guides on upgrading cars in Forza Horizon 5 , which details everything you need to know about customizing your car and improving upon it. For those that wish to go even deeper, we also have a comprehensive guide on tuning cars in Forza Horizon 5 after you finish upgrading them.

Here are the best features about Forza Horizon 5's car, character, and event customization:

  • Major improvements to the interface for designing and painting cars, to make it closer to modern image editing software
  • You can port liveries and car designs from Forza Horizon 4
  • Hundreds of new visual upgrade parts for cars
  • Over 100 new rim options
  • Thousands of new performance upgrades for cars, including over 500 new engine swaps
  • The ability to paint brake calipers, which has been a requested feature for years now
  • Full body kits and new aero options, which significantly alter the look of supported cars
  • Improved car physics . One of the smaller, but still welcomed, improvements in Forza Horizon 5 is the return of "drivetrain flex," which essentially refers to how cars wobble when revving their engines or accelerating. This ties into massively improved (and rebuilt) suspension and braking systems, which contribute to more realistic offroading in FH5 (and a brand-new "Offroad" performance stat for all cars). Finally, tire physics has also been massively improved, with all-new tire compounds available to upgrade your cars. These updates actually make driving easier in FH5, since cars behave closer to how you'd expect, and can be upgraded in more nuanced ways.
  • Improved tire smoke and effects . The Forza Horizon community has also critiqued the tire smoke in Forza Horizon games in the past, and Playground listened here, too. Tire smoke in Forza Horizon 5 gets a big upgrade to have more volume and presence in the world, and these upgrades also apply to other effects like kicking up sand or dirt. Tire smoke even changes depending on how hot your tires are and how hot the current season is.
  • Return of Skill Points . Every car you drive in Forza Horizon 5 has a collection of perks you can spend Skill Points to unlock, known as Car Mastery, which grants unique bonuses and perks to your car (such as increased XP, Credits, or even new cars).
  • Car Collection screen . Forza Horizon 5 features a Car Collection screen, which is almost a "sticker book" of every available car in the game. Players can come here to view their car collection and see what vehicles they're missing, purchase missing cars in the collection directly from this screen, and even redeem rewards for reaching milestones and completing manufacturer collections. Rewards include XP, credits, and even exclusive Forza Edition cars.
  • Major improvements to inclusivity, including options for pronouns, a more diverse selection of base characters, and prosthetic limbs
  • Hundreds of new clothing options
  • New choices for voices and hairstyles
  • While rarer clothing items are still obtained through Horizon Wheelspins, most of FH5's clothing and character customization items can be obtained through a new dedicated clothing shop
  • Multiple Player Houses . Forza Horizon 5's Player Houses provide new places for players to rest, customize their cars and character, engage with the Festival Playlist, and more. There are seven to purchase, and each one features unique perks and rewards.
  • Tools and options similar to the ones used by Forza Horizon developers
  • The ability to individually place objects, tracks, items, and more, to custom design your track or world
  • The ability to choose game objectives and rules, to create something truly unique
  • EventLab will improve over time as the community provides feedback
  • Races made in EventLab can even appear on the FH5 map for players
  • Playground will pick the best and coolest modes and events from EventLab to showcase in Festival Playlists and Horizon Arcade
  • Possibilities are endless enough that Playground genuinely has no idea what the community will be able to accomplish with EventLab
  • The Route Creator has been augmented with features from FH4's Super7, and is now a part of the EventLab umbrella
  • Related to how some cars will have convertible tops that can be toggled on the go, different cars in Forza Horizon 5 also feature different driving modes that players can toggle between.

Online play and social features

Official screenshot of Forza Horizon 5.

Online and social features have long been a huge part of Forza Horizon, connecting players across the open world and making it easier to play together. Forza Horizon 5 makes big changes to make online play more accessible and seamless than ever before, with a host of new features to incentivize players to participate in online events and play. This means new tools, events, and more in Forza Horizon 5.

Here are some of the best features about Forza Horizon 5's online play:

  • Horizon Life . Forza Horizon 5 does away with its limited 24-player servers and instead includes one massive server that everyone connects to simultaneously, making FH5 more "MMO-like." This is contextual, so players are more likely to run into other players in different locations, like cities. It means you're more likely to find nearby players interested in engaging in activities like Horizon Arcade and Tour.
  • Open Racing, which includes a wide variety of classic race events
  • Open Drifting, which lets players test out their drifting skills on a variety of surfaces
  • Playground Games, a cleverly named series that combines a ton of game modes like Flag Rush, King, and more
  • The Eliminator, a Battle Royale mode that debuted late in FH4's career and returns in Forza Horizon 5
  • Horizon Tour . Related to Horizon Open, Tour lets you meet up to five other players and travel to various race locations to battle it out against AI Drivatars. Horizon Tours periodically change their location and themes (types of vehicles and customization allowed, etc.), meaning there's plenty of variety. Using Forza LINK (more below), you can seamlessly join convoys and Horizon Tours at any point.
  • Horizon Arcade . Forza Horizon 5 is packed with a ton of new mini-games, all of which fit under the Horizon Arcade banner. These aren't game modes for which you need to search. Instead, they happen dynamically all over the Forza Horizon 5 map as public events while you're driving around with other players. Players can participate in these spontaneous events to earn Forzathon Points.
  • Forza LINK . Forza Horizon's ANNA AI isn't going anywhere, but the antiquated "Chat" option is replaced with another AI: LINK. LINK intelligently keeps track of what players enjoy playing, how they've progressed, and what they're currently up to when playing online, and helps you connect with other people with seamless and easy recommendations, as well as contextual chat.
  • Kudos . A new social currency in Forza Horizon 5, Kudos can be gifted to players (or received). This encourages players to practice fair and generous gameplay, as Kudos can be gifted for helping players out, being a good sport, giving Gift Drops, creating awesome things, and more. Collecting Kudos can help you unlock new flairs, which can be attached to your player label.
  • Players can customize what group of FH5 players can get the Gift Drop (new, returning, or Hall of Fame players), choose from a selection of friendly messages, and can optionally sign the package
  • Gift Drops do permanently remove the selected vehicle from your garage, but someone else will get to keep that car forever
  • Whenever you find a Gift Drop, you're able to give the gifting player a Kudos
  • The Gift Drop is left in a Barn Find on the receiving player's map, so they can go and pick it up
  • Festival Playlist . Returned from Forza Horizon 4, the Forza Horizon 5 Festival Playlist is new and improved. Weekly and monthly updates are planned for Forza Horizon 5, with the Festival Playlist offering several hours of additional gameplay every week and exclusive rewards. The above guide includes everything you need to know about the Festival Playlist, including the current challenges and rewards.
  • You can start playing online or with co-op immediately after the opening drive and first Horizon Story in FH5

Audio and car sounds

Official screenshot of Forza Horizon 5.

Forza Horizon 4 is a fantastic game in practically every way, but there is one thing that it consistently lacks in according to the Forza community: car sounds. Forza Horizon 4 uses the same car sounds repeatedly for multiple vehicles, features low-quality recordings, and has a tendency to make every car sound practically the same. Forza Horizon 5 features substantial and colossal advancements in audio design and car sounds, and is a notable improvement over its predecessor.

Here's what you need to know about audio in Forza Horizon 5:

  • No more "dyno" recording method . Many other racing games use the "dyno" method to record their car audio, which effectively straps a car in and records it revving up to max. This method is officially retired in FH5, as it's inherently limiting and doesn't accurately capture a car's complex sounds.
  • Live recording on a track or airstrip . Instead, Forza Horizon 5 leans fully into Playground Games' favorite method of recording: strapping a bunch of microphones to a car and driving it around. This leads to more authentic and varied engine sounds per car.
  • Playground also went the extra mile by ensuring they recorded a ton of different individual upgrade parts and levels, so that engine sounds accurately shift with the addition of new and improved upgraded parts
  • 100% use of the granular synthesis technique, versus only 10-15% in Forza Horizon 4. Granular synthesis lets Playground chop up audio files into many segments and stitch them together seamlessly as needed. This means no matter how you're driving, your cars will always sound dynamic and natural
  • Car audio is always 90 FPS, versus the 60 FPS the game plays at normally. Combined with granular synthesis, this means car sounds in Forza Horizon 5 are incredibly reactive, with no gaps between action and sound
  • Forza Horizon 5 also uses a brand-new modular audio system, which can intelligently recognize your car, its engine type, and its various engine upgrades, and pull from the existing library of sounds to create a unique and natural sound, including for engine upgrades like turbochargers, superchargers, exhausts, and much more, and distinct sounds like transmission whines and the characteristic sound of an electric or hybrid car
  • Improvements to tire sounds are also included, with FH5 able to use all of its upgrades (including the new modular system) to adapt tire sounds to the car and tire type being used
  • Engine upgrades can be heard in real-time . FH5 lets you hear engine upgrades in real-time while customizing your car with a new "Rev engine" button. You can hear the difference between different engine upgrades like intakes, camshafts, and more, and even between entire engine swaps.
  • Audio is muffled accurately when inside a closed car
  • New FH5 audio systems track how sound travels around the inside of a car, including reverb
  • Convertibles will have different first-person soundscapes depending on whether or not the top is up or down
  • Ray tracing occlusion also means players can pinpoint the locations of nearby cars (even around buildings and other obstacles) by the noises of their engines
  • Forza Horizon 5 sounds better on Xbox Series X|S . Microsoft's current-gen gaming consoles unlock a new compression format for audio. This means FH5 has higher fidelity audio on Xbox Series X|S, which applies to all audio, including music, environmental noises, and car sounds.
  • All cars benefit . Finally, it should be noted that all cars in FH5 benefit from these audio improvements. This means whether you're exploring the world by yourself, playing online with others, or racing through Mexico, all the cars around you will reflect all of these audio improvements.
  • Bass Arena, helmed by Scott Tyler, returns in Forza Horizon 5 with a new lineup of tracks
  • We also get the next evolution of Hospital Records, Pulse, Block Party, Eterna (which replaces Timeless FM for classical music plenty of classical music), and XS
  • There's also a new and improved streamer mode, which should protect creators making content out of Forza Horizon 5, with a healthy mix of original compositions and specially licensed music

What are the accessibility features in Forza Horizon 5?

Official screenshot of Forza Horizon 5.

Accessibility is always vital in gaming, and investments in the space continue to grow as time goes on. Microsoft, especially, places a lot of importance on accessibility, a trend that continues with Forza Horizon 5. Playground Games has baked a ton of accessibility options and improvements in FH5, some of which include:

  • Control over game speed . Forza Horizon 5 includes a setting that allows players to slow down the overall speed of the game when playing offline
  • Visual modes . Forza Horizon 5 includes a variety of accessible visual modes, including high contrast options and several colorblind modes that can be customized separately for the UI and game visuals, the ability to disable all moving backgrounds, and customization options for notification durations
  • Text options . Forza Horizon 5 includes many options for customizing text and subtitles, including all font size in gameplay and menus, background opacity for subtitles, and the ability to highlight especially important words in subtitles
  • Live sign language translation . Forza Horizon 5 will sign language support for ASL and BSL languages in cinematics with the Series 5 update
  • Screen narration . Forza Horizon 5 includes full-screen narration for menus, on-screen text, options, and more
  • Text-to-speech . Forza Horizon 5 includes full text-to-speech support, which lets players participate in voice chat with text translated to a synthesized voice
  • Speech-to-text . Forza Horizon 5 also includes speech-to-text support, which lets players receive transcripted text translated from voice chat
  • A more seamless and natural transition from singleplayer campaign play to the live service Festival Playlist
  • Less focus on purely winning and more of a focus on having fun and winning if you can
  • Better UI and UX for navigating online experiences, including joining and staying in Convoys
  • Spanish (Mexico)
  • Portuguese (Brazil)
  • Chinese (Simplified)
  • Spanish (Mexico and Spain)
  • Chinese (Traditional)

Xbox One consoles may be "last-gen," but they still have a lot of life left in them. Forza Horizon 5 is available on Xbox One, Xbox One S, and Xbox One X, and it offers a solid experience. Of course, players won't enjoy nearly the same visual quality and sheer performance of the more powerful Xbox Series X|S consoles or PC, but FH5 is still great on older consoles.

Here's everything you need to know about Forza Horizon 5 on Xbox One:

  • 4K resolution at 30 FPS, with reduced visual fidelity, on Xbox One X
  • 1080p resolution at 30 FPS, with reduced visual fidelity, on Xbox One and Xbox One S (the regular One does not support HDR)

Horizon Tour Event list

Could you tell me (us) where we could find the custom tour events? I’m legit asking, as I have no clue. Thanks for the help.

I apologize for my inaccurate answer. I edited it to make it clearer, I hope.

To participate in a Custom Race, open the pause menu in free roam and select the Online tab. Next, scroll and click on Custom Racing. This mode allows players “to matchmake with likeminded players based on your desired racing parameters, such as PI class and type of race.”

As for Horizon Tour, it’s a type of co-op event where you do three races in a team with other players against a team of Drivatars. There’s a big green icon called Horizon Tour northeast of Horizon Festival Mexico site. Interact with it and sign up to the event, then wait until you’re placed in a race.

Spent a fruitless 45mins trying to find an s2 race but then accidently joined a B class event (pressed A instead of B), so thought i might as well race it. Drivatars all in untuned Velocirapters,I got pushed out of checkpoint at start so was well behind everyone.Soon caught up and then passed a line of 6 velocirapters nose to tail in one pass. Was funny and kind of pathetic all at the same time.

:confused:

You are mixing two kind of races.

There are Horzon OPEN custom events. These you find following the advice from GU18R4NC0.

Forza Horizon 5 2022-04-27 0

they realy should release the shedule with multiple timezones listed to make it simple for us…

10.40 am uk time popped one up for me ,will try again at 18.40 to see if its an 8hr cycle.

What I thought just for a little bit of immersion would be for them to put a low-res texture of a calendar/schedule on the Tour building which players could go up to, press X and view the list of the events from there.

Although I love the mode you can tell PG just want people to dive in to any old Tour rather than looking for a specific one, when you’ve got what I think is 240 Tours spread over 8 hours adding a schedule in is just common sense.

That’s only if they wanted players to know what’s coming up though.

From what I understand (from hard work by others) there is a 24 hour cycle, so certain events are repeated several times within that. It isn’t an 8 hour loop.

I’ll add the one i did to your list and UK times 10.40 Not sure what race type,did it in a Mosler so either Extreme Track Toys or Anything 19.40 Hyper Cars 21.16 Anything goes 23.10 Extreme track toys

Ah right I just thought the numbers tallied towards being 8 hours.

C class CC still seems to be way overused, did 1 just now though in A class Iconic Movie Cars, different/rare restrictions like that are good to see.

Now that they have expanded the Tour with more races they need to implement a way of selecting the class of car rather than the timewasting waiting for them to change to the one you want.

No idea whether the devs will even care, but here… add your vote

https://forums.forza.net/t/publish-the-horizon-tour-schedule/546910

:slight_smile:

Is completely wrong; that’s not Tour at all.

Yes, apologies, the thread is so convoluted at this point I lost my spot. You are correct there is no “Custom Tour”. And you’re at the mercy of waiting.

Good news is, you can check the current tour, and if you don’t like it, just wait out the timer on it.

I agree, it would be nice if they had some way to do specific races, especially when required by a quest instead of basically making everyone guess and wait… I mean, great ploy for forcing people to use a feature they may not care that much about jsut to stress test it, but W/E right… LOL.

Sorry mate… Maybe they’ll listen since they bombed the tour with all these new events.

I really don’t mind the randomness of it . I just rock up and play the next race regardless

If you have structured play time, this sucks. I think this is the basic problem with the feature. They require it as a quest - but it’s a waiting game, with no posted schedule, and it was rough when it only had 30 event iterations now it has 230!!

To the Devs: Please publish the FH5 Horizon Tour Schedule.

It is absolutely unforgivable that you simply ignore basic information like this. Have you ever planned a trip abroad without consulting a train/ferry/plane schedule? Nope.

Having to sit and wait for a specific type of race to come up is a DISGUSTING waste of our time.

PUBLISH THE SCHEDULE!

Reference: I sat around waiting for an S2… not a single one in all the time I was waiting. ( I might update this with more, but if the dev’s did this instead…? )

  • Note: Hour is GMT+1 (British Summer Time)

I would like them to just add the option to choose the race type and car class like can be done for the custom open races.

Horizon tour event list.

DefEdge

Posted on 28 December 21 at 03:59, Edited on 07 May 22 at 02:20 by DefEdge So I got this mostly from the Forza forums but I added a little bit more information for those who might find knowing what event happens at what minute in the hour rotation. He collected the data of what was there, I added the racing surface. 00: B-Reasonably Priced - Road 02: S1-Any - Dirt 04: B- Any - Cross Country - !Mislabeled! - MINIS ONLY 06: A-LandRover - Dirt 08: A-Unlimited Offroad - Cross Country 10: A-Any - Road 12: B-ClassicRally - Dirt 14: C-Pickups&4x4 - Cross Country - 1970s ONLY 16: S1-ClassicRacers - Road 18: S1-Hoonigan - Dirt 20: A-HeavyHitters - Cross Country 22: S1-ModernMuscle - Road 24: A-RuleBritannia - Dirt 26: S1-Any - Cross Country 28: S1-UpgradeHeroes - Road 30: S1-Any - Dirt 32: C-Pickups&4x4 - Cross Country - FORD ONLY 34: A-SuperSaloons - Road 36: B-EVO vs Impreza - Dirt 38: A-SportsUtilityHeroes - Cross Country 40: S1-ClassicRacers - Road 42: A-Unlimited Offroad - Dirt 44: S1-Any - Cross Country 46: A-BMW - Road 48: C-Retro Rally - Dirt 50: C-Pickups&4x4 - Cross Country - 1970s ONLY 52: S1-Any - Road 54: S1-Chevrolet vs Dodge - Dirt 56: D-Buggies - Cross Country 58: A-Any - Road Notice at minute 04 it is mislabeled. If you went to the tour location and looked at it, it will say B700 Anything Goes. This is wrong. If you enter it, you will only be allowed to select your B class Minis and rent the JCW Mini stock. For those who are wondering about certain accolades, you will also notice a lack of an S2 event. So that Complete a Horizon Tour in a S2 vehicle accolade is currently unobtainable. I figured this might be useful for those who are looking for a time to sign up for the Volkswagen De Lux tomorrow and next week the GT cars without sitting there waiting for it to cycle. Each entry is good for 2 minutes, the entry on the list is the first minute and ends right at the next entry. This is how it's been since the game launched AFAIK. It is subject to change, but I'm not going to sit there and monitor it. It is also not random. Edit: Giving credit, a player on the Forums with the gamertag QQstarSS. May or may not be on TA, but figured I'd give credit. Also a huge bit of work from LSD51ZEN on there, page 2, for taking screenshots of each event with tracks, AND for correcting the 'posters' for the events as needed for the 4 that had to be corrected. We will have to see if anymore need correcting... Edit 2: So it seems we have had wrong info because we didn't test everything out. The 3 events that are supposedly Pick ups and 4x4s are ALSO mislabeled. They have been struck out and corrected above Not actually mislabeled, just missing information... (as have the mislabeled B Any to Minis). This new info is from the Horizon Tour thread on the official Forza forums, just passing it onto everyone here. I didn't test it myself because I didn't need the accolade for it. This list is now completely obsolete and I pulled a link from the forums with a new long long list. This link is a shortened link to the google spreadsheet. https://t.co/rYpEhjnEBB Phear my Uber Gimpyness!

Posted on 27 April 22 at 23:16, Edited on 29 April 22 at 14:04 by MathGuy42 This rotation list is no longer valid as of the latest update. It's unclear to me if there's a regular rotation now or it's randomized. I've been watching for about 30 minutes, waiting for an S2 race with no luck. This person waited over an hour and didn't detect a regular rotation, though I suppose it could just be a very long rotation now. If anyone finds a new rotation list and especially when S2 happens, that would be great. It might be hard to find D and C also. I think I've only seen B, A, and S1 come up. Edit: FYI, S2 came up yesterday at 2:40pm EDT. I don't know if it will come up at that time again. As I waited, I also saw a D and a few C's, so those still come up too.

Posted on 07 May 22 at 02:18 Yeah, I was just noticing that. I did find a list where someone has compiled all the data, and it's crazy! Here's a shortened link that takes you to a spreadsheet. We do actually have S2 events now! https://t.co/rYpEhjnEBB I haven't completely looked it over, but it's a BIG list. According to someone counting it has: D - 10 C - 34 B - 120 A - 308 S1 - 234 S2 - 14 X - 0 I have no idea if that list is repeated or not, but... yeah... Phear my Uber Gimpyness!

Sorry about that then. I don't know what to do then. I was going by the official forums where someone spent all day compiling the list. Did you adjust for the time zone? The top left of the chart says to start in UTC. Granted, I have not referred to this list myself yet, I still need to do an S2 and last night xbox was having issues, saying I had to be online to play any of my games so I gave up on it.

Posted on 08 May 22 at 15:18, Edited on 08 May 22 at 15:37 by BAE 10 There was an S2 tour at 8:16 AM PST instead of 8:18 AM like the list says. Either its random or the list is slightly off by few minutes.

Posted on 08 May 22 at 18:35 Hrm... I wonder if the events shift or if it totally is random. I feel bad for the guy who spent a day compiling it then, meaning all of his work was for naught if it was random. Then again, such a massive list needing to be collected in a rapid fashion, he's had to worry about the type of race, type of vehicle, and the 3 tracks the tour takes place on. I certainly couldn't have done that, I have to work 5 days a week and also take care of family one the weekends, so I'm usually pretty busy. Phear my Uber Gimpyness!

Was 8:16am PST the time the race showed up in the menu for signup or when it started? It looks like the times are for when the race actually starts, since the header says, "Signup begins 120 seconds before Start!" His list matches my experience that I posted above. The S2 race appeared for signup at 2:40pm EDT and started 2:42pm EDT. That's the 18:42 UTC race.

This was the only one I tested though since it was the only tour I needed.

Posted on 09 May 22 at 02:37 Hrm... looking over the list right now and comparing to what's in the game I am finding problems with some things not matching what's on the chart. Like at 2:20 it says S1 900 anything goes but it was A 800 anything goes. The tracks were correct though. Also yeah, I can see where you guys are saying that the times are not correct, like I have the UTC timer up on timeanddate.com and either I am 2 minutes back from that (my clock is set by internet) or these times are 2 minutes off. I would be putting the times in as "This is when this event begins collecting players" not the start time of the event itself. I guess if you are referring to the spreadsheet you would be looking ahead and not at the exact time, since you would already be looking at the screen and being ready. Phear my Uber Gimpyness!

Can You Make A Team Race In Forza Horizon 5? 5 min read

  • October 25, 2024

author-avatar

Forza Horizon 5 has captured the hearts of racing enthusiasts with its stunning graphics, vast open world, and exhilarating gameplay. However, many players are curious about one missing feature: the ability to create team races akin to what was available in Forza Horizon 4. This article will explore whether you can make a team race in Forza Horizon 5 and the options for team-based competition.

Team Racing in Forza Horizon 4

In Forza Horizon 4, players enjoyed a robust team racing feature . This allowed players to join red or blue teams and compete in exciting races against each other. Team dynamics played a crucial role, as players could strategize together, coordinate their efforts, and ultimately enjoy a more social racing experience. The feature added depth to the competitive aspect of the game.

Team Racing in Forza Horizon 5

Team racing in Forza Horizon 5

Can you create a team race in Forza Horizon 5? Unfortunately, the game does not currently support traditional team racing, as seen in its predecessor. While many players desire this feature, the developers have opted for different multiplayer options.

Horizon Tour: A Substitute for Team Racing

Team Racing Horizon Tour

The Horizon Tour mode is one of the closest alternatives to team racing in Forza Horizon 5. This mode allows players to join co-op events and race against AI opponents. While it is a fun experience, it lacks the competitive edge of player-versus-player (PvP) team racing. Here’s what you need to know about the Horizon Tour:

  • PvE Focused : The Horizon Tour emphasizes player versus environment (PvE) gameplay. Players can work together to complete challenges and progress through the game.
  • No Ranked Matches : Unlike the team racing in Forza Horizon 4, Horizon Tour does not offer ranked matches or a competitive structure.

Co-op Racing: Another Option

Forza Horizon 5 also includes a co-op racing feature that allows players to team up for events. While this isn’t the same as team racing, it fosters players’ collaboration. Here are some key points about co-op racing:

  • Join Convoys : Players can form convoys to race together in co-op events. This allows for a shared experience but is not competitive against other teams.
  • Seasonal Events : Many seasonal events offer co-op gameplay, where players can join forces to complete objectives.

Lack of Organized Team Races

Team races Horizon Festival

Despite the various multiplayer options, many players feel a significant absence of organized team racing in Forza Horizon 5. This has been a common complaint within the community. Players have expressed their disappointment at being unable to join a lobby as a convoy and race against other teams. Here are some insights into this issue:

  • Feedback from Players : Many fans have taken to forums and social media to voice their desire for a return to team racing. They want to experience the thrill of competitive racing as teams, similar to Forza Horizon 4.
  • No Persistent Rankings : Players have stated that they don’t necessarily need a persistent ranking system. The excitement of racing against other teams would suffice.

Future Possibilities for Team Racing

Can You Make A Team Race In Forza Horizon 5

The absence of team racing in the game raises questions about future Forza Horizon 5 updates or expansions. Developers may consider introducing team racing in upcoming content based on player feedback. Here are some potential developments:

  • Player Feedback Impact : If enough players express interest in team racing, the developers may prioritize this feature in future updates.
  • New Modes and Events : Forza Horizon 5 is known for its seasonal updates and new events. Team-based racing could be introduced as a new mode.

If you want to beat your friends in team racing, you need the best cars. For that, you can grab Forza Horizon 5 modded accounts from us at unbeatable prices. We offer a variety of account tiers, each packed with exclusive items and bonuses to enhance your gameplay. Whether you’re looking for rare cars, massive credit boosts, or top-tier perks, we’ve got an account that fits your style. Plus, with fast delivery, you can enjoy the benefits immediately!

Final Words

In conclusion, the ability to create team races in Forza Horizon 5 is currently limited. While players can participate in co-op events and enjoy the Horizon Tour mode, the competitive edge of team racing is absent. The community has expressed disappointment over this missing feature, and players are hopeful for its return in future updates. For now, players can enjoy the numerous other modes and features that Forza Horizon 5 offers while watching for any changes regarding team racing.
