Forza Horizon 5
Your Ultimate Horizon Adventure awaits! Explore the vibrant and ever-evolving open-world landscapes of Mexico with limitless, fun driving action in hundreds of the world’s greatest cars.
What it feels like
The kinetic rush of high-speed driving, flow of movement, and thrill of acceleration and racing are core to the moment-to-moment feel. The tone is fun, celebratory, and inviting rather than serious or gritty—emphasizing enjoyment of driving and exploration over realism or tension.
What it's about
Racing competitions and automotive sport are central to the experience alongside open exploration. The setting is modern-day Mexico with contemporary cars and infrastructure, grounding it in a recognizable present.
How it plays
Driving and controlling vehicles is definitional; the entire experience centers on piloting hundreds of cars across the landscape. Cars are tuned and upgraded with parts and modifications to improve performance and customize handling. Managing a virtual garage, car collection, and in-game currency for upgrades and purchases adds a light progression layer.
How it looks and sounds
The vibrant Mexican landscapes are rendered with high-fidelity detail aiming for visual realism and photographic quality. Third-person chase camera is the default and most common perspective for driving and experiencing the open world. First-person driving view is an available option, though not the only perspective; third-person and hood views are also supported.
How it's structured
The game is fundamentally built around exploring a large continuous open-world representation of Mexico with player-chosen routes and activities. Players set their own goals—whether racing events, exploration, stunts, or free driving—with minimal imposed objectives beyond the player's chosen pursuits. Hundreds of cars, varied events, dynamic weather and time-of-day cycles, and emergent driving scenarios provide reason to replay and explore.
