Forza Horizon 5<\/i>\u00a0is a racing video game set in an\u00a0open world<\/a>\u00a0environment based in a fictional representation of Mexico.[6]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0The game has the largest map in the entire\u00a0Forza Horizon<\/i>\u00a0series, being 50% larger than its predecessor,\u00a0Forza Horizon 4<\/a><\/i>, while also having the highest point in the\u00a0Horizon<\/i>\u00a0series.[7]<\/a><\/sup>[8]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0The map was described by creative director Mike Brown as one of the most diverse\u00a0Forza Horizon<\/i>\u00a0maps the team has built.[9]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0The map contains an active\u00a0caldera<\/a>\u00a0volcano<\/a>, jungles and beaches, ancient\u00a0Mayan temples<\/a>, and towns and cities such as\u00a0Guanajuato<\/a>. Players can explore the open world freely, though they can also compete in multiplayer races and complete the campaign mode. Both the cars featured in the game and the player character can be extensively customised.[10]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0Players are able to create custom liveries and tunes for cars, and perform\u00a0engine swaps<\/a>, drivetrain swaps, or install\u00a0body kits<\/a>\u00a0on certain vehicles. The game is the first in the franchise to support\u00a0ray tracing<\/a>\u00a0on cars (although this is only available in Forzavista).[11]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

The game introduces a new weather system (local weather) in which players can visit one side of the map and can visibly see a storm. Because Mexico is such a vast nation with such a wide range of elevations, multiple climates would appear in the game at around the same time. The four seasons still exist but would affect the eleven unique biomes around the map. For example, in the\u00a0dry season<\/a>,\u00a0dust storms<\/a>\u00a0will appear, while tropical storms occur throughout the fall storm season.[12]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0Another detail is in the jungle, in which the environment would now react to the weather; an example of this is leaves flying everywhere.[13]<\/a><\/sup>[14]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

Forza Horizon 5<\/i>\u00a0also introduces a brand new Horizon Arcade. This consists of a series of mini-multiplayer games strewn across the map. One of these mini-multiplayer games is called “Pi\u00f1ata pop” where the Horizon Festival’s cargo plane drops pi\u00f1atas. The goal is to pop as many pi\u00f1atas as they can with the help of other players. It also introduces the “EventLab”, a toolset in which players can create custom games, races, and more depending on their personal preference.[15]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0A new feature called “Forza Link” was introduced. According to Brown, it is an\u00a0AI<\/a>\u00a0assistant that tracks the current statuses of players, helping them to link with other players online and play together. Forza Link can also link players’ GPS systems if they accept the invitation from another player.[10]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0Accolades, new to the\u00a0Forza Horizon<\/i>\u00a0series, allow players to collect points and prizes for completing certain tasks. Some vehicles can only be unlocked through the completion of the Accolades. There are over 1,800 accolades for the player to achieve.[16]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

The Eliminator\u00a0battle royale game<\/a>\u00a0mode introduced in\u00a0Forza Horizon 4<\/i>\u00a0returns, albeit with players starting in a\u00a01963 Volkswagen Beetle<\/a>\u00a0rather than a\u00a01965 Mini<\/a>.[17]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0The world is designed for the mode unlike the previous game, which received The Eliminator after launch.[18]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0As in the previous game, players can buy in-game houses ranging from small beachside cabanas to even a hotel, which can unlock rewards such as Wheelspins and the right to Fast Travel. The game features over 700 licensed vehicles.<\/p>\n

Due to licensing issues, vehicles from\u00a0Alfa Romeo<\/a>,\u00a0Fiat<\/a>\u00a0(including\u00a0Abarth<\/a>\u00a0marque) and\u00a0Lancia<\/a>\u00a0were not present in the base game. Prior to the release of\u00a0Forza Horizon 5<\/i>, the Stratos HF Stradale was shown in a video covering car audio but it was scrapped in the released game. On 17 July 2023, it was announced that the Italian brands would return to the\u00a0Forza<\/i>\u00a0series in the Series 24 update of the game on 17 August 2023.<\/p>\n

Content and gameplay updates<\/span><\/h3>\n

Forza Horizon 5<\/i>\u00a0has seen many content updates and bug fixes since its release. Monthly content updates include new cars, collectibles, horns, clothing, etc. These updates typically have a specific theme; for example, the Series 2 update in December 2021 was based around\u00a0Christmas<\/a>. Many updates also include series-specific map changes, for example, the Series 5 update introduced a stunt park located in the stadium on the map. This game is the first in the franchise to introduce new map changes, aside from seasons.<\/p>\n

On 1 March 2022,\u00a0American<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0British<\/a>\u00a0Sign language<\/a>\u00a0interpreter videos in a\u00a0picture-in-picture<\/a>\u00a0format for cinematics were added.<\/p>\n

The Series 13 update, released on 11 October 2022, celebrated the tenth anniversary of the\u00a0Forza Horizon<\/i>\u00a0series, adding new content to the game in celebration.\u00a0[19]<\/a><\/sup>[20]<\/a><\/sup>[21]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0This included a new radio station titled “Horizon Mixtape”, featuring a total of fifteen music tracks from the previous four entries (six tracks available from the start, five unlockable tracks via accolades by completing each chapter of the Horizon Story “Horizon Origins”, and four tracks unlockable via completing limited-time seasonal championships in the Festival Playlist) along with recreations of key moments of the five games’ initial drive sequences in the new Horizon Story “Horizon Origins”\u2014with Horizon Bass Arena DJ and Horizon Mixtape host Scott Tyler (voiced by Ronan Summers), the only\u00a0Forza Horizon<\/i>\u00a0series character to have appeared in every game so far, joining the player\u2014the return of Midnight Battles from\u00a0Forza Horizon 3<\/a><\/i>, and new\u00a0achievements<\/a>, accolades, and badges. Each of the previous four entries’ title screens was also recreated by Playground Games within the game world of\u00a0Forza Horizon 5<\/i>, with each season (week) of Series 13 using a recreated title screen corresponding to a different game;\u00a0Forza Horizon<\/a><\/i>\u00a0in summer,\u00a0Forza Horizon 2<\/a><\/i>\u00a0in autumn,\u00a0Forza Horizon 3<\/i>\u00a0in winter, and\u00a0Forza Horizon 4<\/a><\/i>\u00a0in spring.<\/p>\n

The Series 14 update, released on 10 November 2022, added a new Horizon Story featuring the members of\u00a0Donut Media<\/a>. In November 2022, after a money-making exploit was discovered in the game’s\u00a0Super7<\/i>\u00a0mode, Playground Games disabled the game’s auction house and later released a patch to fix the exploit.[22]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0However, they announced that the auction house would remain closed for the time being to rebalance the game’s economy.[22]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0In June 2023, a\u00a01956 Chevrolet Corvette<\/a>\u00a0and 2022\u00a0GMC Hummer EV<\/a>\u00a0pickup featuring details inspired by the film\u00a0Barbie<\/a><\/i>\u00a0was added to the game as part of a collaboration with\u00a0Xbox Game Studios<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Mattel<\/a>\u00a0in advance of the film’s release.[23]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

Expansions<\/span>[<\/span>edit<\/a>]<\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n

The game’s first expansion,\u00a0Forza Horizon 5:\u00a0Hot Wheels<\/a><\/i>, a follow-up to a similar expansion for\u00a0Forza Horizon 3<\/a><\/i>, was released on 19 July 2022.[24]<\/a><\/sup>[25]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0This announcement was accidentally leaked via a\u00a0Steam<\/a>\u00a0listing three days before its official announcement.[26]<\/a><\/sup>[27]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0The game’s second expansion,\u00a0Forza Horizon 5: Rally Adventure<\/i>, was released on 29 March 2023. It includes a new map, a variety of\u00a0off-road<\/a>\u00a0vehicles such as\u00a0trophy trucks<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0buggies<\/a>, and a new career mode.[28]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

Development<\/span><\/h2>\n
<\/a>
The narrow streets and plazas of Guanajuato are used as a setting for urban races.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Forza Horizon 5<\/i>\u00a0was developed by\u00a0Playground Games<\/a>. The goal for the team was to create a game whose scale was significantly larger than its predecessors. The team chose Mexico as the game’s setting due to its diverse and varied landscape. The team partnered with Mexican artists to create the in-game murals, and Mexican musicians to create the in-game soundtracks. It also sent a team to visit Mexico to capture real-world light and sky data.[29]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0The game utilised\u00a0photogrammetry<\/a>\u00a0data extensively in order to make the game’s virtual environment to look similar to its real-life counterpart.[29]<\/a><\/sup>[30]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0An example of this is the rocks in the side of the caldera volcano where they can be viewed with such detail.[31]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0Individual objects, such as the needles of\u00a0cholla cacti<\/a>, can also be displayed by the game (although this is only available for the\u00a0Xbox Series consoles<\/a>\u00a0as of now).[32]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

Playground Games took a new approach to car audio in\u00a0Horizon 5<\/i>, switching implementation from looping to\u00a0granular synthesis<\/a>. To prepare audio recordings for this, they captured cars performing full acceleration sweeps from idle to redline and then let the cars slow to a stop. Microphones with flat\u00a0frequency responses<\/a>\u00a0were selected, and\u00a0padded<\/a>\u00a0to prevent damage and\u00a0clipping<\/a>\u00a0from loud exhausts. Cockpit noise was recorded with both stereo and\u00a0ambisonic<\/a>\u00a0microphones mounted centrally in the car. The team, with assistance from audio outsourcing companies, recorded 320 engines for the game, some samples usable for multiple cars that share engines. Additional recording included ambient environments and collisions. All sounds were recorded just for the game, with none sourced from existing libraries. The soundtrack can be output through\u00a0Dolby Atmos<\/a>.[33]<\/a><\/sup>[34]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

Forza Horizon 5<\/i>\u00a0was announced during Microsoft and\u00a0Bethesda<\/a>‘s showcase at\u00a0E3 2021<\/a>. The game was released for Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X and Series S on 9 November 2021.[35]<\/a><\/sup>[36]<\/a><\/sup>[a]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

Reception<\/span><\/h2>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Forza Horizon 5<\/i>\u00a0received “universal acclaim” according to review aggregator\u00a0Metacritic<\/a>.[37]<\/a><\/sup>[38]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

Game Informer<\/a><\/i>\u00a0appreciated the social interactions in the game, especially the score comparisons, “More times than I could count, I noticed my friend hit a higher top speed, causing me to turn around and try the challenge again”.[49]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0Ars Technica<\/a><\/i>\u00a0liked the visuals of the title, praising how it looked “next-gen”, “I seriously cannot keep track of how many times\u00a0FH5<\/i>\u00a0made my eyes bulge. The game takes special care to emphasize massive vistas… with screen-bursting HDR effects doing wonders for a richly saturated canvas of cities, sunsets, and scenery”. While criticizing the car handling for making the game too easy,\u00a0Rock Paper Shotgun<\/a><\/i>\u00a0enjoyed the new additions to the formula like the EventLab creator and Super7 events, “If you\u2019ve played a Forza Horizon game before then you might feel a slight sense of deja vu, but you won\u2019t care as the formula has been perfected at last”.[50]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0Eurogamer<\/a><\/i>\u00a0praised\u00a0Horizon 5<\/i>‘s open world of Mexico, writing that “The map is an absolute wonder, backed by a game engine which can deliver staggering views across the whole thing from the summit of the volcano that towers over it. The environments are rich and saturated with colour and atmosphere, from humid swamps to arid dunes, from deep, verdant canyons to pastel-striped barrios”.[51]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

Polygon<\/i><\/a>\u00a0liked the settings to tune difficulty and handling, but felt the game bombarded you with too many events and activities at once, “I feel constantly pinged with mentions and suggestions, from all directions, like two teenagers are blowing up my DMs”.[52]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0The Verge<\/a><\/i>\u00a0felt the progression systems were less confusing overall compared to\u00a03<\/i>, and praised how the player could choose what to do next, “You\u2019re able to choose which specific types of events to unlock as you progress… I feel like if I stopped playing the game and came back to it weeks later, I\u2019d have a much better sense of what I\u2019d been doing”.[53]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

The game was selected as\u00a0IGN<\/a><\/i>‘<\/span>s\u00a0Game of the Year<\/a>.[4]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

Commercial performance<\/span><\/h3>\n

Before the game’s release on 9 November, over 1.2 million players had accessed the game by buying either the premium edition of the game or the premium add-ons bundle as an\u00a0Xbox Game Pass<\/a>\u00a0subscriber, with\u00a0Video Game Chronicle<\/a><\/i>\u00a0estimating gross revenue between $54 million and $118 million before release.[54]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0The game also reached\u00a0#<\/abbr>1 on the\u00a0Steam<\/a>\u00a0weekly charts for the week of 1 to 7 November 2021.[55]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0Phil Spencer<\/a>, head of Xbox, announced on 9 November that more than 4.5 million people have played the game in less than 24 hours after launch, the largest launch for an Xbox Game Studios game, while it also held three times more concurrent players than\u00a0Forza Horizon 4<\/i>.[56]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0On 18 November, the official\u00a0Forza Horizon<\/i>\u00a0Twitter<\/a>\u00a0account announced that over ten million people have played the game during its first week of release, the largest amount of players for a game’s first week in the Xbox brand’s history.[57]<\/a><\/sup>[58]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0Writing for\u00a0Forbes<\/a><\/i>, Erik Kain attributes the game’s success to its at-launch availability on Xbox Game Pass,\u00a0cross-platform play<\/a>\u00a0between Xbox One, Xbox Series X\/S, and PC, its\u00a0cloud gaming<\/a>\u00a0support via\u00a0Xbox Cloud Gaming<\/a>, and the high quality of the game itself.[58]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0On 9 January 2022, two months after its release, the game passed the 15 million player mark, breaking the record for the previous game in the series in less than a year since it was released.[59]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0The game attracted more than 20 million players seven months after its initial release.[60]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
