Forza Horizon 5 (all but) gets off the starting line today, so naturally thereâs a launch trailer to celebrate the fact.
In case youâve not been keeping up, the latest entry in the racing series takes us to Mexico. It also happens to be the first entry developed for the Xbox Series consoles from the start. So of course, the vistas are more beautiful and breath-taking than ever. Theyâre more wildly varied too, including sandy beaches, lush forests and even an active volcano.
Thereâs some new additions in Playground Gamesâ vehicular sandbox too, of course. The major âslap-that-on-the-boxâ feature is the addition of spectacular weather events. These include ferocious dust storms in the desert, and torrential tropical downpours in the rainforest. Theyâre all here and in glorious 4K vision to feast your eyes on.
How does Forza Horizon 5 play? Well, weâll turn to Josh to answer that one in his review you should go check out. âThere is the usual array of racesâavailable in the flavours of rally, endurance, drag, cross-country, and so forth. There are speed cameras, to be hurtled past at teeth-rattling velocity, and ramps from which to take wing. Most important, underneath it all, the driving is back, and it still behaves like an old friend who believes the notion of âtough loveâ to be utterly oxymoronic.â
Those of you who have picked up the Premium Edition or the Premium Edition Add-Ons Bundle DLC can get behind the wheel of Forza Horizon 5 from today. Everyone else can grab it on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PCâas well as via Xbox Game Passâon November 9.
