This teacher using Forza Horizon 5 to teach math has gone viral Pixabay, MicrosoftWhile Forza Horizon 5 is a pretty flexible game, one teacher has decided to innovate his classroom practices by using it to explain precalculus. The newest installment in Forza’s iconic racing franchise, Forza Horizon 5, has shattered XBOX records and even won our official seal of approval. As players both old and new clamor to snag themselves the game’s fastest car, or quickly earn themselves an entire treasure trove full of credits, one fan has decided to go down a very different route with his Forza experience. This player is Reddit user Rj_TBNR‘s precalculus teacher, who has found a way to integrate his love for all things mathematical with his passion for Forza. Teacher uses Forza Horizon 5 in class Showing off a picture of their lecture on Reddit, this astonished pupil describes “my Precalculus teacher playing Forza 5 in [sic] our 4k HD touchscreen board at our school.” Charging up one of the game’s spectacular mountain ranges full speed ahead, this has to be one of the most interesting teaching methods we’ve ever seen – especially in calculus! However, despite initially looking completely out of left field, there’s some method behind this teacher’s madness. Calculus is defined as the “mathematical study of continuous change.” Considering both the car’s dynamics themselves, as well as the impact that the surrounding environment has upon them are in constant flux, the example makes perfect sense. Of course, the entire comments section is green with envy that their own classes aren’t as interesting as this one. A comment from Xbox’s official Reddit account notes that “we’d pass this math class,” subtly showing their approval. “At 120mph in a two-ton hunk of s**t, can the class please describe how long it will take me to get obliterated by a tree?” jokes one fan, while another responds “‘less than two minutes.’” One baffled respondent also notes that “math was a lot different when I went to school.” Whether you’re an avid Forza fan or otherwise, you can’t help but admire this teacher’s creative teaching methods. It almost makes us want to go back to school!

T-Pain’s Forza Horizon 5 reaction to spin wheel jackpot is brilliant Twitch, T-Pain, Playground GamesWell-known rapper T-Pain absolutely lost it when he was using Forza Horizon 5’s wheel spin mechanic and actually correctly predicted his next turn using it. The Wheel Spin has been a feature of multiple Forza Horizon games in which players are rewarded for leveling up. To celebrate their achievement, a player gets a turn on the ‘Horizon Wheelspin’ to win cars, skins, credits, or emotes. Rapper T-Pain tried out his luck on the newly-released Forza Horizon 5 and got very lucky. A newer version of the wheel – the Super Wheelspin – was introduced in Forza Horizon 4, and it grants three prizes. T-Pain was streaming on Twitch and initially bemoaned his bad luck before landing a jackpot spin. We joined the Twitch clip with T-Pain having just done his second spin, evident by the spins remaining counter at the bottom. His reward was 70,000 Credits and an emote, to which he replied “Wow, really? Ok.” He quickly put his disappointment to one side and claimed: “One of these times I’m gonna win three cars.” As he made this prediction, T-Pain was already running through his final spin. The reels stopped and all three of them landed on a different car prize. Needless to say, T-Pain absolutely lost it and broke down into a fit of laughter after seeing his prediction happen almost instantly. The cars themselves weren’t anything to write home about, but the fact that he called it a second or two before it happened was quite remarkable. His Twitch chat had similar reactions with one viewer event saying: “lmaoooo called it.” It was a great, wholesome moment that showcased the cool side of Twitch and streaming. For more cool reactions to games, check out the Apex Legends player that somehow opened back-to-back Heirloom Packs. For more on Forza Horizon 5, check out our Forza Horizon 5 guides below.

Strange Forza Horizon 5 tire glitch is ruining races Playground GamesForza Horizon 5 has reached some pretty impressive heights because of its dynamic racing experience, but a strange tire glitch is sabotaging drivers and ruining perfectly good races. The racing in Forza Horizon has drawn the game a ton of critical acclaim, but this new glitch is making it hard to enjoy tightly contested races. If you’ve ever been neck-and-neck with another racer and then smacked into a wall, then you know how annoying it can be to get back into your previous position. Now imagine doing that but being stalled even further because your tire has hit an invisible roadblock. Forza Horizon 5 tire glitch is ruining races The glitch happens when players are driving close to the exterior walls of any given course. If their car smacks up against the wall for any reason, the tire can become physically blocked despite not being lined up against the wall at all. This causes players to come to a complete halt before they can start to jump back into the race. This slowdown is further extended because of the Wall Collision speed deduction that happens anytime a player wrecks into a wall in the first place. As seen in the video above, even a minor version of this glitch can cause someone to drop from 3rd to 7th in a matter of seconds. How to fix The only way to fix the problem is to back up before attempting to get back to speed, and in the time it takes to do that, the other drivers fly right past and leave whoever crashed to suffer at the back of the pack. As of now the only way to avoid the problem is to stay away from the wall as best you can and hope that you never have to trade paint on the outside of a track.

Ridiculous Forza Motorsport glitch forces players to randomly pit Halloween may have passed us by, but it appears a few of the cars on Forza Motorsport 7 are being possessed by an unexplained force. The paranormal glitch forces the player into the pits and throws their car against the side of the track. Forza players may need to take care over the Halloween season when racing round their favourite track. There appears to be a chance of paranormal activity occurring when approaching a pit stop in a race. Despite seemingly being in control at first, a player is at the will of a possessed vehicle within an instant. One Reddit user, Kylex67, experienced the full force of the glitch as his car was forced into the pits. Paranormal Forza Motorsport glitch The clip wastes no time in immediately showing the glitch, with Kylex67′s car veering left towards the upcoming pit stop. The car then appears to almost come to a standstill whilst floating just above the ground. It’s then that the vehicle is thrown forward through the pit with a paranormal-like force, smashing into the tyres that guard the edge of the track. The video continues with the possessed vehicle uncontrollably ramming into the side of the track. Finally, adding the icing on the cake for the clip, Kylex67’s car is pushed through the sidewall of the track with no resistance. The commenters on the Reddit thread share a superstitious perspective of the clip, with one stating “you have been banished to the pit dimension” and another writing “Halloween update: your car is possessed.” As funny as it would be for Playground Games to add paranormal glitches to the racing game for Halloween, I think it’s best these bugs are left for chance encounters.

Ridiculous Forza Horizon 4 glitch makes car un-crashable Reddit: u/XtremvilleForza Horizon 4 players often live life on the edge, pushing the limits of their vehicles as they seek to earn skill points or achievements. This Redditor was doing just that, when an unusual glitch saved his Ferrari 599xx Evo from disaster. Finding glitches in Forza Horizon 4 is nothing new, but we’re constantly amazed by the sheer randomness of bugs people find within the game. From falling down sinkholes to breaking speed records, players have become masters at manipulating the game for their own gain. However, unlike many previous glitches we’ve featured, this one appears to have actually saved the player in question. Forza Horizon 4 crash glitch We can’t quite confirm whether this glitch is related to the winter season or whether it was simply a random event, but it certainly saved this player from disaster. While pushing their Ferrari 599XX Evo to the limit, this Redditor misjudged the corner, and appeared to be on course to plow into a group of trees. What happened next was entirely unplanned, but worked in the player’s favor. The Ferrari appears to skid up onto its side, before the game glitches in a dramatic fashion. Instead of the car crashing into the tree and coming to a stop, the game freezes momentarily. The car then continues to pass through the tree undamaged. Not only did the player manage to avoid the crash, but also managed to level-out the car and continue driving. Plus, they even managed to score a ‘great air’ skill point in the process. With the video taking place during the winter season in Forza Horizon 4, the icy roads may have helped Redditor u/Xtremville glide along smoothly. However, that still doesn’t explain the glitch itself, which appears to be a random occurrence. Whatever happened, we bet Xtremville was feeling very lucky after this strange event.

Need for Speed: Unbound car list is making Forza fans jealous already Electronic ArtsNeed For Speed: Unbound unveiled its complete car list, and some of the big car brands included have Forza Horizon fans green with envy. Need For Speed Unbound releases on December 2. The game art style takes inspiration from graffiti art and musical artist A$AP Rocky appears in-game as a character. Anticipation is high for the latest NFS entry, but Unbound recently made headlines for the wrong reasons. The NFS social media manager went off on an unsuspecting fan, telling someone on Twitter they had a “milkshake brain” and that they should “cry about it.” Berating fans didn’t go over well with the NFS community, but the game’s impressive car list helped ease tensions. So much so that it caught the eye of Forza fans, wishing their garage packed a similar caliber of firepower. Need for Speed Unbound car list shocks Forza fans A Reddit user started debates by pointing out, “Alfa Romeo is in Need for Speed Unbound and not Forza Horizon 5?” Forza Horizon 5 features over 530 cars from some of the world’s biggest manufacturers, but fans would want nothing more to get their hands on a vehicle like the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifologio. One user responded, “As if Microsoft can’t afford it. They just don’t want to. Instead, we get a bunch of random Chinese knockoffs that nobody ever heard of and recycled crap from previous games.” A second player added, “I believe Forza isn’t putting in any effort to bring in the manufacturers we want.” Theories circulated through the thread, as a third user claimed, “Okay, I’m fully convinced Stellantis is done restructuring and Forza is just di***** around not relicensing them, wow.” It’s clear some Forza fans won’t be satisfied until some heavy hitters get added to their series in response.

Mafia 3 player finds their perfect car in Forza Horizon 5 2k Games, Playground GamesA Mafia 3 player managed to pinpoint their ideal in-game car among Forza Horizon 5’s extensive roster with the help of the game’s online community. For those that may know not, Forza Horizon 5 has an extremely expansive roster of cars to choose from. When the game launched on November 4, 2021, it came with over 500 vehicles to choose from. With so many cars to sort through, it can be incredibly daunting to find the perfect match, whether it’s for racing or cruising around the open world. Sometimes, calling on a game’s online community for help is the fastest way to get some great feedback. Player finds the perfect Forza Horizon 5 car using Mafia 3 That is exactly what happened with a Reddit user going by the username ‘portraitsman.’ They took to the Forza subreddit to find a car they liked in Hangar 13’s Mafia 3. Portraitsman posted a short clip showcasing a full panoramic view of a car in Mafia 3, explaining that they wanted to find a similar car to use in Forza Horizon 5. Unfortunately, Mafia 3 uses fictional branding making it difficult to find a real-life equivalent without specific prior knowledge. As such, portraitsman called upon Forza Horizon 5’s community to see if they could single out similar cars among the vast in-game catalogue. After just one day, the post garnered over 700 upvotes with over 90 comments giving suggestions on potential cars that matched the Mafia 3 clip. The general consensus was that the closest comparable car was the 1965 Pontiac GTO. Others suggested the car resembled the 1969 Chevrolet Nova SuperSport 369, with many saying that Mafia 3’s car was essentially an amalgamation of the two vehicles. As a result, players got an idea of how developers make nondescript or generic vehicles in games that avoid specific branding. Regardless, it’s always nice to see a community come together to help players out and have interesting and engaging discussions along the way.

How to fast travel in Forza Horizon 5 Xbox Games StudiosDespite being an open-world game, fast traveling works differently in the Forza Horizon series than in other games. Here’s how to fast travel in Forza Horizon 5. Knowing how to fast travel in Forza Horizon 5 isn’t immediately clear. The game isn’t a typical racing game where the player bounces between menus and race events, it’s an open-world game that places a lot of emphasis on exploration and the simple act of driving. Fast travel is available in Forza Horizon 5, but it’s not encouraged by the developers. Instead, they would prefer the player to enjoy the map and take some time to get to know the roads. This will improve the player’s skills and allow them to take part in the many side ventures the game has to offer. However, most gamers are used to a fast travel mechanic in open-world games and will want to use it now and again. Here’s what you need to know to fast travel in Forza Horizon 5. Contents How to unlock fast travel in Forza Horizon 5 – Alternative fast travel unlock method in Forza Horizon 5 – Fast travel home for free – How to unlock fast travel in Forza Horizon 5 The fast travel mechanic is available in Forza Horizon 5 from very near the start. The option will open up once the game’s prologue portion is over, however each time you fast travel the game will charge you 10,000 credits. While this isn’t much money later in the game, its an expensive privilege in the early hours. Just like in Forza Horizon 4, you can make fast travel in Forza Horizon 5 cheaper by destroying fast travel boards. There are 50 of these boards in total across the map, and each one you destroy reduces the cost of fast travel by 200 credits. After you’ve demolished all 50, fast travel becomes free. Once a board has been smashed, you can then select the location on the game’s map and use the option to fast travel there. Just remember, it will still cost money. Alternative fast travel unlock method in Forza Horizon 5 You can also unlock the ability to fast travel anywhere on the map by buying the Buenas Vista property in the Baja region. This costs 2 million credits, which is a lot, but if you’ve got money to burn, it’s worth doing. Ownership of this property allows you to fast travel to any location in Forza Horizon 5 for free, regardless of how many fast travel boards you’ve destroyed. However, you’re unlikely to have 2 million credits to spend on property until much later in the game. Fast travel home for free Remember you can always fast travel home at any time in Forza Horizon 5. You’ll unlock your first property, Casa Bella, early in the game, and once you do, you’ll be able to select ‘Go to Home’ in the game’s menu. This will instantly send you home and won’t cost a single credit. It’s a handy way to move from one side of the map to the other and becomes even more useful once you own multiple properties. Forza Horizon 5’s fast travel mechanics feel obtuse at the beginning of the game, but as time goes on it becomes simpler, and much cheaper to do. Read More: Where to find Forza Horizon 5 Barn Finds – Remember though, this is because it’s often more rewarding to drive to your location than to fast travel. Forza Horizon games are usually about the journey rather than the destination. However, it’s normal to want to skip some of these journeys on occasion. Looking for more Forza Horizon 5 guides?

How to earn credits fast in Forza Motorsport Turn 10Credits are your primary currency in Forza Motorsport that can be used to buy the fastest cars. Here is a guide on earning credits efficiently in the game. Forza Motorsport is a racing game, which means the fastest cars will mean. Therefore, you need to buy the best cars in the game and then upgrade them in order to stand at the very top. While leveling cars is a whole different system, purchasing cars can be achieved with credits. However, these credits can be a bit tricky to collect and good cars require a lot of them. Here is a guide on how to earn credits as fast as possible in Forza Motorsport. Forza Motorsport: Fastest way to earn credits The steps you can follow in order to earn credits as quickly as possible in the game are provided below: VIP Membership: The easiest way to earn credits in the game is by purchasing the VIP membership as it doubles the amount you can make (permanently). VIP can be purchased separately or through the Premium bundle. – Increasing Difficulty: You can also earn a higher amount of credits if you play at a higher difficulty level. However, this is a step that will be difficult for those who are new to racing games. – As it happens, these are the two methods that earn you the most number of credits in a short amount of time. The first method is outright pay-to-win, but it works for everyone. The second method requires skill and is only meant for those who are seasoned players. Unfortunately, there is no other easy method that will help you earn credits without putting in the effort. You can definitely improve your driving and try to avoid penalties in order to earn more credits from your races. However, it is imperative to mention that this will require skill as well since you will have to get a hold of the game’s mechanics.

How to drift in Forza Horizon 5: Best cars and settings for drifting Playground GamesLooking to up your car control? From button layouts and controller settings to the best cars for fledgling racers, we’ve got all the information you need to learn how to drift in Forza Horizon 5. Drifting is one of the flashiest maneuvers a driver can pull off in Forza Horizon 5. But it doesn’t just look good, it can be helpful in getting around the map as well. From the starred drift zones to getting ahead of other racers when zooming around tight corners, elevating the level of control you have around your car can make the difference on many of the twistier courses on the map. If you’re ready to add this important piece to your virtual racing arsenal, then check out our complete guide on how to get started. Contents Drifting in Forza Horizon 5 – Best game settings for drifting – Best drift cars for beginners in Forza Horizon 5 – How to drift in Forza Horizon 5 The key to learning how to drift is understanding how each decision you make with the car affects the next stage of the process. To get started in a safe, controllable way, it’s best to learn how to swing around traffic cones using your handbrake to make a finesse turn. This gives you an easy way to both get a feel for how fast you can be going and still complete the turnaround, and also serves as an intro to timing your turns correctly, which is a key part of mastering the drift. Once you’re comfortable making a 180-degree turn through the cones, use those same skills when attempting a turn around a real corner. The goal is for your car to never veer too close into the corner you’re taking, and to finish the turn with your vehicle’s body facing the direction you need to go next. This is done through counter-steering — the method of turning away from the direction you were initially driving — and when done correctly will keep you directly in line with the next turn. Practice this for a while until you can do it without thinking and then attempt to take a second corner when you feel comfortable. Going into the second corner can be tricky as you’re no longer leading into the corner in a neutral state. Your car has already been through the swing of one corner, and if you’re offline even a little bit, saving the drift can be a headache. If you’re failing to get it down, skip the first corner and take the second one by itself. This will help you identify the proper position to be in when you finish the first turn. Much of the steering in this situation isn’t happening with the steering wheel, it’s happening in your gas, throttle, and brake control, so experiment with different speeds, gears, and braking methods until you find what works for your car. Once you’ve mastered taking turns like this, try to get into the drift without your handbrake. This takes a whole new level of skill to pull off, but will ultimately result in a cleaner and more repeatable drift. In this version, the weight of the vehicle will do all of the work, so there’s no need to get the brakes involved for anything other than shoring up or extending the distance your car will stay in the turn. Best settings for drifting There are a few key settings that make drifting much easier and give every player a chance to define their drifting style. Out of all of the game’s settings, these are the ones that will have the most impact on your skill as a drifter: Braking: ANTI-LOCK OFF – Steering: STANDARD – Traction Control: OFF – Stability Control: OFF – Shifting: MANUAL + CLUTCH – Once you’ve mastered steering with Standard steering, switching to Simulation will up the difficulty once again, but it also offers the most realistic feel out of all of the options. It’ll take some time to get used to, but it’s a necessary step to take if you want to become a master of the craft. Best drift cars for beginners in Forza Horizon 5 Starting with a less expensive and less sensitive option is the best way to get used to the fine movements and timings that you’ll need to master along the way. Read More: Fastest drift cars in Forza Horizon 5 – In our opinion, the Mazda Miata is the most beginner-friendly option but ramping up to more expensive cars as you learn is a good way to get accustomed to drifting in any car with any tune. All of these cars are good options for anyone trying to develop the necessary mechanics for the first time: Hoonigan Twerkstallion – Toyota Supra RZ 1998 – Nissan Silvia – 1995 Formula Drift #34 Toyota Supra MKIV – Mazda Miata – Once you’re comfortable with one of these, try some of the more advanced options and test how the two experiences compare with your newfound skills.

How to access fenced-off areas in Forza Horizon 4 Horizon Festival Turn 10 StudiosWhile the Horizon Festival in Forza Horizon is typically a place for players to win races, buy cars and increase their popularity level, curious players have found a way to get into the fenced-off areas of the festival. Throughout the duration of Forza Horizon 4’s lifespan, the Horizon Festival in England has been a place for racers to show off their pace, their cars and take part in some more casual street racing, rather than on professional tracks. While the Horizon Festival is set in England, and obviously meant to be inspired by real-life festivals in its setting and atmosphere, players are very much confined to the limits of the festival itself… Or are they? As with literally every game, players are intent on breaking the rules, and that remains true for Forza Horizon player BenEzekiel, who wasn’t content being confined to the festival, and made it their mission to get out. It looks like they’ve finally found a way, too, managing to access the fenced-off area of the festival with ease, and it really couldn’t be simpler. Here’s what you’ve got to do: Find a low fence that you want to jump over. – Set up an Ariel Atom car with its rear bumpers on the fence. – Take whichever car you want, and drive straight at the Atom. – As long as you go straight at it, the Atom will act as a ramp and propel you over the fence, free to explore your new surroundings. – Now, what benefit players will actually gain by getting into the fenced-off areas remains to be seen. At face value, it looks like it does… well, just about nothing. But that’s not to say there’s not more to explore or learn from accessing these areas, and we might be about to say a huge influx of new things to do from players hopping the fences. If you do find fun new things to do outside of the fences, be sure to share it: you never know what kind of gameplay it could lead to!

Handy Forza Horizon 5 trick makes bonus boards easier to find Playground GamesForza Horizon 5’s bonus boards aren’t’ just the key to fast travel, they also offer XP to anyone who collects them. Hunting them down can be tricky, if you don’t know what to watch out for during your travels. The bonus board system has been a part of the Forza Horizon series since the beginning. The franchise’s fifth installment once again has players search for them, in exchange for the fast travel abilities. Since they tend to be hidden – or placed in tricky locations – tracking them all down can be challenging. But, this tip can make pinpointing them a little easier for everyone. Forza Horizon 5 bonus boards trick revealed The best way to hunt down these boards is to switch to an electric car, like a Jaguar I-Pace or Raesr Tachyon, before hitting the road. The quiet nature of these vehicles will help cue you in on the music that radiates from the boards themselves. This directional hint, paired with the icon on your map when you’ve entered into the vicinity of a board, makes the entire process a straightforward affair. If that’s not enough, there are also a few more ways to boost your chances of hearing the boards, and they can be taken care of at the same time. The first option is to turn off your radio, which can be done in two ways – by either scrolling through the stations until you find the “Radio Off” option – or by disabling it entirely in your settings menu. This is an easy process that can be done from any menu in which the Settings tab is accessible. Here’s how to to do it: Open your settings and scroll down to the Audio tab. – Select Radio Volume and lower the volume to zero. – Move down to the Radio DJ and set to off. – Confirm your settings before returning to the game. – This also works for turning off the Narrator in the Accessibility menu or even disabling Anna in the HUD and Gameplay section. All of these settings can be reversed as well, meaning that players can jump in and out of their hunting mode without fear of ruining their comfort elsewhere in the game.

Grandpa who used to call Xbox ‘idiot box’ can’t stop playing Forza Horizon 5 MicrosoftA Grandpa who used to say “video games make you stupid” has been completely hooked in by Forza Horizon 5, with a wholesome video doing the rounds on Reddit. The critically-acclaimed racing game scooped a prize at The Game Awards 2021 for its impressive accessibility features, and now it’s winning internet points for converting people from doubters to believers. On January 16, Reddit user Aftershock_7582 revealed an incredible transformation in his Grandpa after discovering his passion for Forza Horizon 5. He’s not playing like an amateur using a controller, either, as he’s got the whole setup figured out – pedals and all. Grandpa can’t get enough of Forza Horizon 5 The user said: “My Grandpa who thinks that video games make you stupid playing FH5. My brother convinced him to try the ‘idiot box,’” along with a clip of him in action. In the comments, they also revealed that there are many other fun clips of his Grandfather playing, from following the speed limit to bashing into other cars. The original poster said: “We told him there are no rules and he started ramming cars on the opposite side of the road and laughing hella hard.” Quite the griefer, it would seem. Players react to Grandpa story Jokes aside, the story didn’t just put smiles on the faces of everybody in the room, but also inspired others to try the same. One user replied: “My mom thought the same, then I got her to play Animal Crossing New Horizons and now she respects gaming haha.” Another commented on the Grandpa’s skills, saying: “My guy starts drifting and going 500 mph.” Whether or not this method would work for the senior citizens in your family is a mystery, but we now know it’s not impossible to turn a bookworm into a racing driver – and it’s actually a pleasure to see when it works out.

Forza Motorsport’s lifelike graphics are tricking players into thinking it’s real footage Turn 10 StudiosForza Motorsport’s stunning visuals have players questioning reality, mistaking game scenes for genuine race footage. Forza Motorsport is back and the most hardcore fans of the series already have their hands on the game thanks to early access. The game, returning after a six-year hiatus, has already received widespread praise from both critics and players alike. The graphics, sound, and online experience have all been highlighted as standout features in the latest Forza Motorsport installment. And now players are now sharing their feedback with the world on social media. In particular, it’s the game’s visuals that are making waves, with one tweet showcasing the game’s photorealism recording more than four million views. The clip, taken from the player’s Hood cam perspective, features a race around the Grand Oak Raceway. As the player maneuvers through a cluster of cars, the game’s graphics are on full display. The wet track reflects the surroundings, and the environment feels detailed and immersive. The realism is so striking it’s even led to comments such as, “Holy s**t thought this was actually real footage for a minute.” And many others seem to agree. The Forza subreddit is buzzing with players sharing their awe over the game’s visuals. One player posted a clip of a rainy race with the caption, “You know, I think it looks pretty good at times,” showcasing the game’s prowess in rendering rain and darker environments. However, it’s not all praise. Some players have expressed disappointment with certain aspects of the game. The rear-view mirrors, for instance, have been described as a “pixelated mess,” drawing criticism from the community. Additionally, while the game has been marketed as being “built from the ground up,” some players have spotted reused car models from previous Forza titles. A particular point of contention has been the inclusion of a 14-year-old car model of a ’00 Nissan Silvia Spec-R, which first made its appearance in Forza Motorsport 3. Despite these criticisms, it seems that Forza Motorsport’s graphics have managed to blur the lines between virtual and reality, tricking people into believing they’re watching real footage.

Forza Motorsport will offer accessibility for blind players to drive Xbox Game StudiosForza Motorsport is looking to make its gameplay experience more enjoyable for blind players by employing unique accessibility features during in-game driving sequences. Arriving at some point in 2023, Forza Motorsport will bring with it improved gameplay and visual effects. Some of these improvements, however, are not easily accessible to many players. Fans of racing games that may be blind or visually impaired experience gaming differently altogether. The team behind Forza Motorsport understood that, taking the opportunity to implement ground-breaking accessibility features for the upcoming game. Team 10 Studios brought in audio cues to make racing while blind a possibility. Developers worked closely with accessibility experts like Brandon Cole, a blind gamer known for his work on The Last of Us. By focusing on what players hear rather than only what they see, Forza Motorsport will offer prospective fans with any level of vision an enjoyable racing experience. Forza Motorsport offers accessibility options for blind players After taking visually impaired players into consideration, the team behind Forza Motorsport decided to make use of unique sound features that can help the blind drive more naturally while playing. These accessibility features are known as Blind Driving Assists or BDA. Senior sound designer Todd Helsley looked toward player feedback for inspiration after acknowledging what the game needed to be appealing to a wider audience. Brandon Cole, accessibility consultant and blind gamer, helped head the Blind Driving Assists concept. Working together to create an experience in which visually impaired players could navigate the racing tracks without help from automatic braking or turn assists proved to be difficult at first. For a while, Cole found himself continuously crashing into walls. The team behind Forza Motorsport found the perfect formula in just over a month of the grueling tests. What ended up constituting the prime soundscape for visually impaired players featured a complex variety of audio cues. These needed to not conflict with the audio for tires, engines, and other objects already present in-game. Rather than using confusing sounds like rushing wind, Forza Motorsport makes use of tonal beeps and boops as cues alongside voiced directions. This leaves less room for confusion and draws on callout systems that aren’t new to the racing genre by any means. For instance, players could be approaching a turn when they hear “left three” called out. This would mean that the turn is a left turn with medium sharpness. There are also countdowns in place before each of these turns, helping visually impaired players prepare. Forza Motorsport’s accessibility features for the blind are not just unique, but they are also customizable. Players will be able to change the pitch and volume for any of the audio cues. Prior to playing, these changes can also be tested in the settings. Aside from the added audio cues, players with low vision can expect feedback through their controller as they play. By way of simply feeling, changes such as ground to grass surface adjustment will be obvious. Everyone will have access to these features with no additional hardware required.

Forza Motorsport showcases raytracing, launching in Spring 2023 Turn10/XboxThe Xbox & Bethesda showcase revealed another look at Forza Motorsport, and it’s looking stunning ahead of launch next year. We may still be playing Forza Horizon 5, one of our games of the year in 2021, but mainline entry Forza Motorsport is roaring back onto the track after an extended pitstop. The reboot of the franchise, which dropped the numbering from its title, was announced during Microsoft’s July 2020 showcase. It marks the first entry on the Xbox Series S|X hardware, and it’ll arrive on Xbox Game Pass on day 1 for console and PC players packing raytracing to provide incredible detail. During Microsoft’s Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase, Forza Motorsport was shown off in an in-engine demo that focuses on the visual fidelity of the Maple Valley track, as well as plenty of improvements to the game’s engine. Forza Motorsport in-engine demo looks incredible Check out the footage below: Developer Turn10 is calling the game “a generational leap”, with environments using photogrammetry and 3D material scans across grass, rocks, skies, and clouds. A statement on the Xbox press site says: “We went under the hood to share the next generation of Forza Motorsport to immerse you in the spectacle of racing like you’ve never seen before.” “Captured in-game and running on an Xbox Series X, we unveiled a brand-new trailer, which debuted alongside the first-ever gameplay of Forza Motorsport. Forza Motorsport has been built from the ground up to showcase the Xbox Series X|S consoles.” It’s going to be a long wait to Spring 2023 to get our hands on the game, but thankfully Forza Horizon 5 is getting Hot Wheels DLC in the meantime.

Forza Motorsport review: Reboot racing fun that can’t keep up with the classics It’s been six years since the last mainline Forza game was released, with Horizon taking the limelight in its absence. Now that Forza Motorsport is finally back, has it done enough to retake its spot in pole position or does this highly anticipated reboot crash out before the finish? Although most recognize Forza these days for its open-world spin-off games, that wasn’t always the case. Up until Forza Motorsport 4, the mainline series was all that existed and these iconic earlier titles remain fan favorites to this day. However, over time, the Motorsport games lost their charm with 5 lacking content, 6 being tarnished by gimmicky mechanics, and 7 being arguably the weakest entry in the series to date. The franchise isn’t dead by any means, but it’s no longer the undisputed market leader that it once was. The promise of an ambitious reboot that takes the franchise back to its roots has its appeal. Forza Motorsport has the opportunity to rebirth the series anew, and in many ways, that’s exactly what Turn 10 has done – but Forza’s latest entry isn’t perfect. Forza Motorsport: Key details Price: $69.99/£69.99 – Developer: Turn 10 Studios – Release Date: October 10, 2023 – Platforms: Xbox Series X|S & PC – The on-track experience is where Forza excels Those who have played previous Forza Motorsport games already know exactly how this reboot drives -and that’s not a bad thing. Forza has always offered the best balance of accessibility and racing potential of any in its class on the market and its newest installment is no exception. This reboot isn’t some lazy copy-and-paste job, though. Building on the already excellent physics, Forza Motorsport introduces impactful mechanics like qualifying, penalties, and pit strategies. These elevate racing to a level the franchise hasn’t reached before, edging it closer to race sim territory. Yet it does this without compromising accessibility, something most of its competitors are frankly hopeless at. This is evident from the exceptional accessibility settings, which are amongst the most impressive we’ve ever seen in not just a racing game, but any game altogether. This reboot manages to respect both newcomers and sim racing veterans alike, a balance that is tough to strike. The racing experience isn’t hurt by the excellent track list either. The 20 launch tracks include fan favorites like Catalunya, Mugello, and Laguna Seca. The list isn’t just made up of returning circuits, however, with Kyalami and even fictional courses like Eaglerock Speedway making their debuts too. While it is a shorter track list, a lot of the weaker circuits were cut this time around. Build cars up for the Builders Cup The Builders Cup is the single-player career in Forza Motorsport. As of launch, it is made up of 16 unique events across five tours, each with its own entry requirements. Beyond that, there are an additional five showcase events where you get to try out each Tour’s prize car. Events typically last around an hour each, so there’s a good amount of content to work through already. Turn 10 will also be adding additional Featured Tours that will offer more races and unique cars for players to earn throughout the game’s lifespan. The premise of the Builders Cup is that you build up your car race by race and get quicker as the series progresses. This is done through the new car leveling system where players are rewarded car XP for driving quickly and cleanly in both practice and on race day. Most upgrade parts are level-restricted. More impactful upgrades like engine swaps and weight reduction require higher levels and can take a while to unlock. After unlocking upgrades you don’t buy them with credits anymore. Instead, they are purchased with Car Points (CP), which restrict how many upgrades you can equip at once. This new system will be divisive, as it strays so far from Forza’s roots. However, we really enjoy it as it emphasizes the value of each car you own. You aren’t going to collect hundreds of vehicles you never touch this time around. Every car in your garage needs time put into it to make it useful creating a memorable journey as you take some D-class tractor and gradually evolve it into something special. AI but without the intelligence Leading up to the release of Forza Motorsport, Turn 10 was adamant that it would feature the most impressive AI in the series. Creative Director Chris Esaki even went out of his way to showcase how much faster the reboot’s AI would be compared to Forza Motorsport 7. In some ways, this is true. At its best, the AI is more competent than ever. They take aggressive lines that allow for time gains that just didn’t exist previously. In an isolated time trial environment, the AI is impressive – but that’s not how racing works. We encountered two massive problems with the AI that somewhat spoiled the single-player racing experience. First, they are petrified to go wheel to wheel and will back out of every move imaginable. The AI drives as though there’s a magical repellent on your car that pushes them away. This is so aggressive that sometimes they will just turn off the track into a wall for no reason just to stay away from you. The even bigger problem is that the frontrunners are usually several seconds a lap quicker than everyone. This pace is unsustainable, especially on higher difficulties where you’ll need to put up world-record lap times just to keep up. It’s a form of poorly implemented artificial difficulty that has no place in what is supposed to be a serious racing game. Taking your ride online Multiplayer is the area of Forza Motorsport that has received the biggest improvements this year. These innovations are centered around the introduction of the Qualifier Series and the new racing weekend format utilized in Featured Multiplayer. Before racing online, you’ll need to partake in three qualifying events. These introduce the new multiplayer format with the race weekend consisting of practice, qualifying, and race day. If you join a session early, you will have around 10-15 minutes to practice followed by three hot laps to set the best time possible which determines your starting grid position. Once all three races are cleared, you will be given a Skill Rating and a Safety Rating based on your performance. These are used to match you with similarly skilled opponents across all multiplayer events. If you perform well and get good ratings, the likelihood of you being placed in more competitive lobbies is improved. That’s right: Forza has skill-based matchmaking But before you grab the pitchforks, we promise this is a good thing. This is the solution that Forza has needed for years to fix the absolute state that is online racing. Good players now get rewarded with better lobbies and can race seriously without having to rely on dedicated leagues. Equally, slower players aren’t going to be left in the dust anymore and can even earn a spot in those faster lobbies bettering themselves against similarly skilled opposition. It gives everyone something to work toward, striving to improve their SR rather than be left frustrated by some hidden MMR system working behind the scenes. This is a fantastic implementation of multiplayer that caters to all audiences in a way most other games just can’t. Under the hood Unsurprisingly, Forza Motorsport is an absolutely gorgeous game that features some of the most impressive visuals out there. The revamped track environments are beautiful giving you plenty to admire as you race around the world’s best circuits. This is one area where the developer’s “built from the ground up,” claims are evident with both returning and new tracks looking equally incredible. Sadly, the same isn’t true for the game’s car models, which vary in quality. As expected the newer models and even models lifted from newer entries are stunning and benefit from remarkable attention to detail in their designs. However, there are plenty of older car models here that haven’t aged well, especially since some are well over 10 years old. You really don’t need to be a car enthusiast to tell them apart even at just a glance. A massive positive for Forza Motorsport is that its performance on PC was practically flawless for us. Using an RTX 3060 Ti and Ryzen 5 5600X at 1440p, High settings, it comfortably remained in three figures usually settling around the 120 FPS mark. With competitive settings, we were able to get this as high as 160 FPS which is ideal for competitive racing. At least it would be ideal if there wasn’t a frame rate cap applied in multiplayer. For some reason, this FPS cap was locked to 72 for us despite Turn 10 claiming it would be a 60 FPS lock to “ensure a consistent and competitive online racing experience.” The most likely reason this is in place is because Forza’s game engine has been known to suffer from inconsistent physics, potentially resulting in time gains at high frame rates. This was problematic in Forza Horizon 5 where time could be gained by just having a powerful rig. Either way, it’s not a good look, and preventing PC players from utilizing their hardware will not be a popular decision. Verdict – 4/5 Though it’s not as good as the classics, Forza Motorsport is still the best entry in the series since the beginning of the Xbox One era. The massive strides made on track and creative RPG leveling mechanics let it appeal to both racing game veterans and newbies alike. It’s just a shame that the bizarre AI behavior and frustrating FPS restrictions in multiplayer hurt what is an otherwise superb racing experience.

Forza Motorsport players want “useless” proximity arrows replaced Forza Motorsport players are appealing to Turn 10 to replace proximity arrows with a superior radar to offer players more information and encourage better racing. As racing games have evolved developers have come up with better ways to provide drivers with information. This is especially noticeable in simulation racers and even simcade games where wheel-to-wheel racing is commonplace. Some games opt for a vocal crew chief who gives you on the fly information and others proximity arrows that tell you where nearby cars are. However, the likes of Gran Turismo have long since shifted to a 3D radar that provides feedback on where other cars are in a way the alternatives can’t. Impressed by the mechanic, Forza Motorsport players think it’s time the idea made its debut. Forza Motorsport needs proximity arrows replaced by radar A Forza Motorsport fan has pleaded to Turn 10 to consider introducing a Heli-styled radar. This would replace the existing proximity arrows which the post slams for being “inaccurate and useless.” “This should be standard in any racing game. It’s clear, shows car positions and has a clear Amber or red warning light when cars are alongside you. The proximity arrows are often unclear and useless. Brown arrow can mean a car is right next to you or a second behind you…” OP stated attacking the existing system. Many were quick to agree: “Yes please and don’t make it an option but make it the standard setting for everyone which can then be toggled off in the options. Most of the crashes that happened in MP rn is due to people not having a sense for their surroundings and not bc they are maniacs.” “And sometimes they bug out and don’t disappear or update and stay on the screen when there’s no car,” was amongst the numerous posts criticizing Forza Motorsport’s current implementation of proximity arrows. Others were eager for an iRacing style crew chief to be added as an alternative to a radar posting “Hope we get a crew chief implementation soon,” and “I’d love a spotter.” While proximity arrows can suffice for enabling competitive racing as seen in other games like F1 23, Forza Motorsport’s use of them needs some work. They can be buggy often showing cars being closer than they really are and generally failing to provide the information required to be useful.

Forza Motorsport players want The Grand Tour crossover after Xbox reveal Microsoft / AmazonForza Motorsport burst back onto the big screen for Microsoft’s June showcase for Xbox, and while it’s not been confirmed yet, a fan-favorite crossover from years gone by has been requested. During the conference, which took place on June 12, Microsoft Studios and Turn 10 came together to show off a brand new weather system in-game as part of their official gameplay demo, adding to the immersive experience the franchise is known for. The upcoming title is set to release in Spring 2023 with a number of new vehicles and the popular Maple Valley map. While the graphics startled audiences around the world, some were left wanting more from the game when it eventually comes out. Forza Motorsport players react to Xbox Showcase One of the most-requested changes since the Xbox Showcase trailer went live has been for a return of former Top Gear hosts Jeremy Clarkson, James May, and Richard Hammond. The trio now feature on Amazon Prime Video, with The Grand Tour, whereas in 2011 when they helped with Forza 4’s development, they were still part of the BBC series. Hoping for a crossover, one user said: “Man, I loved having Clarkson, Hammond, and May be involved in the presentation of the Motorsport titles. “When I played Motorsport 4 in 2011 I would watch Clarkson’s Autovista presentations over and over again. I hope they come back in some way to present the Motorsport titles again. Man, I loved having Clarkson, Hammond, and May be involved in the presentation of the Motorsport titles. When I played Motorsport 4 in 2011 I would watch Clarkson’s Autovista presentations over and over again. I hope they come back in some way to present the Motorsport titles again. byu/AgentClucky inforza Back in 2011, the collaboration between Forza and Top Gear led to not just amazing voiceovers, but also the Top Gear Test Track also dropped. With that said, it seems fans want even more in the future, and a Grand Tour crossover would be top of some peoples’ lists. Read More: Forza Horizon 5 set to add Hot Wheels DLC – One fan said: “A Grand Tour DLC would be amazing, I never got the chance to buy The Grand Tour Game before it was delisted.” Another posted: “Given how the trio and the BBC parted, I don’t think we’d see them both in the same product. If we get them back, we probably lose the TG Test Track.” Whether or not these requests will be met with a positive response from developers remains to be seen, but it’s a cool thought nevertheless.

Forza Motorsport players slam the game’s “horrendous” rear-view mirrors Turn 10Forza Motorsport’s rear-view mirrors are under fire after being described as a “pixelated mess” by early access players. Forza Motorsport is back after six long years, and some players already have their hands on early access before the game officially launches on October 10. The game has received praise from critics and players alike, with the game’s outstanding new environments, a revamped track list, and popular new progression system all standing out as key features this time around. Yet, although Turn 10 Studios have seemingly nailed some of the more complex areas of the game, early access players are pointing out problems to do with the most simple of racing features. This time, it’s the rear-view mirrors that are coming under fire from players who are describing them as a “pixelated mess.” One player shared their frustrations on Reddit in a post titled, “Can we talk about how bad the rearview camera is in this game?” The clip showed what could be seen via the rear-view mirror, and it wasn’t particularly helpful for players. The video clip, while not the best quality footage, inspired many other Forza Motorsport players to join in the discussion and call out the issue. The top comment in response was simply: “Also on PC it’s horrendous.” And other players quickly joined in to raise awareness, writing, “The mirrors are a pixelated mess and zoomed in. It’s almost impossible to tell how close a car is behind you.” Another player wrote, “looks like y’all racing on a milkshake surface,” referencing how the mirror is really only showing the pixelated cars zooming around with a vanilla background and not any of the track features or environment. Other players are simply taking issue with the way the rear-view mirror can be accessed and used in-game. They’re becoming confused after selecting the rear-view mirror in settings only to find it doesn’t appear in the game due to it not being available in certain camera angles. While the game doesn’t note it, the rear-view mirror is only accessible when using the Hood and Bumper camera angles. The player can only use the in-car rear-view mirror while driving in cockpit view, but they’re also finding that with default FOV the in-car mirror is hidden to the right side of the cockpit. Players are hopeful the mirrors will be improved in a future update, writing, “Hopefully gets fixed in the first patch, it’s a pretty big deal if they are serious about safety driving in multiplayer.” And that’s the key issue right there. Forza Motorsport’s revamped penalty system penalizes players for collisions or track violations. But with the unreliable mirrors and lack of radar or spotter, as featured in games such as Assetto Corsa Competizione, players are finding it hard to keep out of trouble on the track.

Forza Motorsport players slam “half-finished” game’s live service model MicrosoftForza Motorsport players are slamming the game’s live service model as the reason for the game’s “half-finished” features. Forza Motorsport’s release was hotly anticipated after years of waiting from players for a new Motorsport entry in the Forza franchise after Horizon has hogged all the spotlight. But now Motorsport is back with a reboot with Turn 10 bringing along its experiences of developing the wildly successful Horizon spinoff, bringing along its live service game model with it. However, despite the excitement of the anticipated reboot and positive reviews, Forza Motorsport is now being criticized for its live service model, which is producing “half-finished” games with features missing. In a post on the Forza subreddit, players criticized the game’s lack of features, pinning it to the new live-service game model the devs decided to take Forza Motorsport in. “It’s become painfully obvious that most AAA games nowadays, especially Microsoft games, release in a half-finished, feature-stripped, unoptimized state,” one player said in their post. “Seems it’s obviously intentional for the purpose of micro transactions/paid DLC. I would assume most of these features are already completed but just stripped in order to trickle content to maximize player retention, because if not what the f*** is taking six – seven years to develop?” Many other players agreed in the comments, with one saying, “Every company is vying to create the one game you’re supposed to play forever and dump your money into.” However, this isn’t the general consensus from Forza players, as many were perfectly happy with the game. Another post on the subreddit said, “Honestly haven’t had an issue with this game and it already feels like a pretty big step up from Forza Motorsport 7, but it seems like no on else enjoys it and are just trying to find reasons to dislike it.”

Forza Motorsport players slam devs for using 14 year old car model Throughout its marketing campaign Forza Motorsport has been described as being “built from the ground up,” but some players are skeptical after discovering a reused car model that first appeared in Forza Motorsport 3. Many long-running racing games reuse models from past installments to save time when developing content. It’s standard practice and can be seen across a range of franchises. However, Forza has developed a reputation for keeping car models around a little too long. Fans of Microsoft’s signature racing franchise have noticed this in past titles but with promises of Forza Motorsport being “built from the ground up,” there were hopes this would change. Now early access is live and players are getting hands-on with Forza Motorsport it’s clear that those longing for old models to be scrapped will have to continue waiting. Forza Motorsport community left unimpressed by 14 year old Nissan model People’s first impressions of Forza Motorsport are starting to emerge and numerous players are calling out Turn 10 for reusing a 14 year old car model of a ’00 Nissan Silvia Spec-R. One accusing Reddit post said: “FM 23’ still uses models from the original Xbox (2005). We’ve been asking for updated models for almost 10 years. I don’t know why Turn 10 is so persistent on avoiding this, but my god it’s annoying to see it. Especially when it’s one of your favorite cars. Hot wheels have better proportions than this.” Contrary to OP’s claims, this Nissan Silvia is not from the original Forza Motorsport but rather from Forza Motorsport 3. We know this as it features a fully modeled interior which was not implemented until the cockpit camera was added in 2009. Even so, the use of a 13 year old car model has still been denounced: “It’s crazy the lengths people will go to defend Turn 10. No one is saying you shouldn’t reuse models but there comes a point where a model just isn’t up to modern standards anymore and it really needs to be redone…” “I don’t know why Turn 10 is so persistent on avoiding this, but my god it’s annoying to see it,” responded another disappointed player. This is not the only car model guilty of this. Some other notable examples include the Mitsubishi Evolution VI GSR and Volkswagen Golf R32. Although some other past examples like the Subaru 22B STi were remodelled for Forza Motorsport. There was some disagreement with not everyone caring about the reuse of older models: “While I understand where you’re coming from with this, and to some extent agree, I’d rather have it this way than not at all. I think the old models are still decent enough despite their inaccuracies…” A lot of the criticism stems from Forza Motorsport being marketed as “built from the ground up,” by the developers. Many fans interpreted this as meaning everything would be new and next-gen but that is evidently not the case.

Forza Motorsport players expose safety rating exploit in online mode MicrosoftIn the high-octane world of Forza Motorsport’s online mode, players have uncovered a controversial exploit in the game’s safety rating system. Forza Motorsport has made a triumphant return after a six-year hiatus, receiving widespread acclaim for its lifelike graphics, immersive sound, and car progression system. The game’s visuals are so realistic that players have even mistaken in-game scenes for genuine race footage. But one standout feature has been the updated online multiplayer mode. Forza Motorsport’s online multiplayer has been described by fans as “phenomenal,” with many considering it the best iteration yet. Central to this experience are the revamped Skill and Safety Rating systems. These ratings provide players with a personal score based on their overall pace and driving etiquette. However, amid the praise, a controversial loophole in the online multiplayer feature has emerged that’s helping players boost their rating without any effort required. Far from being mere badges of honor, the Skill and Safety ratings play a crucial role in determining the lobbies in which players are placed. The goal is to match drivers with similar ratings, ensuring a competitive and balanced environment. Initially, players are matched based on Skill Rating, with Safety Rating serving as a secondary criterion if more participants are required. While players can enhance their ratings by performing well in multiplayer events, poor and reckless driving can lead to a decrease in ratings, subsequently affecting the quality of the lobbies they join. This system was designed to promote clean and fair racing, but it appears that some players have found a way to game it. A growing number of players have discovered that by activating all available driving assists, they can effectively “AFK grind” their way to an S-Tier Safety Rating. These assists, designed to help newcomers and casual players, prevent collisions and off-track violations, inadvertently making it easier for players to boost their Safety Rating. While others are drawing attention to how the system can be exploited, others are raising concerns about how the Safety Rating system is fundamentally flawed. One player remarked, “The safety rating really needs a rework, it needs to be harder to get S ranking. You can easily get an S rating from just staying in the back for one race.” Another player, who has achieved an S for Safety Rating, candidly admitted, “I’ll be honest I have an S and I don’t deserve it. I always try to race clean but I’m also somewhat new to wheel to wheel online racing.” However, it’s only been one day since Forza Motorsport officially launched, so it remains to be seen what kind of changes players will see when it comes to how the Safety Rating is handled in online mode.

Forza Motorsport players baffled by bizarre omission of basic racing feature Turn 10Forza Motorsport, the highly anticipated reboot of the iconic racing series, is back after a six-year hiatus. Yet players are finding that one basic racing feature is missing from the game. Players are already hitting the Forza Motorsport tracks via early access, experiencing the game’s breathtaking new environments, a revamped track list, and a unique progression system before the game launches on October 10. However, players with their hands on the game have been left scratching their heads over the absence of one basic feature: adjustable race length. In a Reddit post, a player expressed their disappointment, stating, “No option to adjust race length in Motorsport 2023 is very disappointing,” helping to kickstart a discussion in the Forza Motorsport community. The player added, “I like longer races, as they feel more realistic to me and I think just make more sense. Like who tf is going to do three practice laps, hell probably more than that, just for 4 laps around a track for a race of 10 mins? Very disappointing.” The player also asked, “Why push all this race strategy and give us actual choice in tire compounds and fuel loads for the first time in the series, only to have them be worthless in career mode?” The sentiment was echoed by many in the community. Another player mentioned, “I’m not sure why there isn’t this option in the career mode cup races. I get that they are set piece races, but it seems a bit inflexible to exclude the option for this from players who want long races.” The game’s live-service model also adds to the frustration. Some fans believe that this model is the reason behind the game’s “half-finished” features. A post on the Forza subreddit reads, “It’s become painfully obvious that most AAA games nowadays, especially Microsoft games, release in a half-finished, feature-stripped, unoptimized state.” Disappointed Forza players believe that features such as adjustable race length might be deliberately held back to be introduced later as paid content or to maximize player retention. While Forza Motorsport has made significant strides in areas like multiplayer, with the introduction of the Qualifier Series and the new racing weekend format, the omission of basic features like adjustable race length and the underuse of the pit system have left players wanting more. Some even pointed out the pixelated and zoomed-in mirrors, making it challenging to gauge the proximity of cars behind. Despite these criticisms, “Forza Motorsport is still the best entry in the series since the beginning of the Xbox One era,” according to our review of the game. However, it remains to be seen whether Turn 10 Studios will address the absence of adjustable race length in future updates.

Forza Motorsport player roasts surprise gift sent by developers Microsoft StudiosA Forza Motorsport player has roasted the game’s developers after receiving gifted credits in their inbox, which totaled exactly one CR. Forza Motorsport 7 is one of the most popular racing sims released within the last few years. Many have praised the game for its incredible track designs and realistic cars, of which there are over 700. Despite the game still having a strong player base years after launch, one fan has gone viral after hilariously hitting out at developer Turn 10. Forza player roasts devs after small gift User TheBestWaffleIron posted to the Forza subreddit after they were shocked at a gift they’d received from developer Turn 10. In the picture they shared, they obtained gifted credits from the devs that totaled exactly one credit. They sarcastically titled the post, “Wow, that’s generous! well, just the spirit of Motorsport, isn’t it?” The post instantly went viral, shooting to the top of the page just after being posted on August 9. Fans in the comment section joined in on the fun and said, “Don’t spend it all in one place now.” Another cracked a great analogy, “It’s like Jeff Bezos giving a homeless man a penny and saying he did a good deed.” TheBestWaffleIron didn’t clarify exactly why they got the gift in the first place, nor why it was such a bizarrely low amount. Hopefully, for the sake of their financial future, they are fiscally responsible with their newfound winnings.

Why is Forza Motorsport’s multiplayer frame rate locked on PC? Forza Motorsport features a newly revamped multiplayer mode with plenty on offer, but there have been concerns raised over the locked frame rate that is mandatory in online races. So why has Turn 10 locked the frame rate in multiplayer on PC? A lot of Forza fans are excited to play Forza Motorsport with it being the first mainline entry in six years. That excitement extends to its multiplayer which offers a revamped format to better encourage proper racing etiquette. However, not all of the news regarding multiplayer has been positive with developer Turn 10 previously confirming a frame rate cap will be implemented. Our hands on testing has confirmed that an FPS limit is in place but why is it in Forza Motorsport? Why does Forza Motorsport multiplayer have an FPS cap? Turn 10 Studios’ has implemented a capped frame rate into Forza Motorsport’s multiplayer to create a level playing field between drivers on all different platforms. This was revealed in an official developer blog post on August 22 that stated: “In multiplayer, framerates are locked to 60 FPS to ensure a consistent and competitive online racing experience for all players across a variety of PC hardware configurations and the Xbox Series X|S consoles.” Interestingly, when playing at a higher refresh rate the frame rate lock is increased. At 144Hz it’s bumped up to 72 FPS and this can climb into triple figures with even higher refresh rates. Although competitive integrity is the official explanation, some members of the Forza community have theorized that it’s due to flaws with the game engine. In Forza Horizon 5, high frame rates were known to cause inconsistencies with the physics and the same is likely true of Forza Motorsport. By setting everyone’s game at a roughly equal frame rate these inconsistencies are no longer a concern which should mean the fastest driver is the most skilled. However, this comes at the cost of PC players having a less smooth experience in multiplayer. That’s everything you need to know about the locked frame rate in Forza Motorsport’s multiplayer.

Forza Motorsport multiplayer explained: Qualifier Series, ratings, events Forza Motorsport is back with a revamped multiplayer game mode which changes up the formula and brings competitive racing back with the new Qualifier Series, player ratings, and diverse event types. Ever since its debut, multiplayer has been an essential part of every Forza game. After all, it’s where the best racing and most fierce wheel-to-wheel action can be found. With the AI in Forza Motorsport not being its strongest feature the multiplayer needed to be good, and thankfully it most certainly is. Several reworks to its overall structure make this arguably the best Forza online experience to date. Here’s everything you need to know about Forza Motorsport’s revamped multiplayer mode and how it all works. How does the Qualifier Series work in Forza Motorsport? The Qualifier Series consists of three placement races where players have to partake in online events to determine their multiplayer ratings. These events are made up of practice, qualifying, & race day and introduce drivers to the new weekend structure format in Forza Motorsport’s revamped multiplayer. Different events rotate every half an hour or so and it’s possible to complete the same event multiple times and still receive your placement ratings. What is Skill Rating & Safety Rating in Forza Motorsport? After finishing the Qualifier Series you are given a personal Skill Rating & Safety Rating. Your Skill Rating is based on your overall pace and finishes in the qualifiers while your Safety Rating reflects how clean a driver you are. These ratings aren’t just for show as they are used to determine which lobbies you get placed in. Drivers will match others with similar ratings to create a more competitive environment. Forza Motorsport first matches drivers with a similar Skill Rating and then uses Safety Rating second if more players are needed. You can improve ratings by racing well in multiplayer events after receiving your initial ratings. However, racing poorly and dangerously will lower your ratings, lowering the quality of the lobbies you are then placed in. Forza Motorsport: Featured Multiplayer event types Featured Multiplayer is split up into two different event types, Spec Events and Open Events. These rotate weekly with new series that have their own entry restrictions taking their place. Spec Events require the use of a specific set of cars that are all balanced to make them equal. Custom upgrades and tuning cannot be used in these events leaving you solely dependent on driver skill and strategy. Open Events allow the use of any car that falls into the correct class. All custom upgrades and tuning are allowed as long as it doesn’t push a car beyond the featured class. This is closer to the classic Forza multiplayer experience found in past titles. That’s everything you need to know about Featured Multiplayer in Forza Motorsport.

Forza Motorsport’s latest exploit turns players into instant millionaires Xbox Game StudiosForza Motorsport fans are cashing in on a bizarre glitch that’s allowing players to earn millions of credits in just minutes. Forza Motorsport is here, and players are already searching for new ways to gain an edge over the competition. While some are taking to the tracks and grinding out victories for a small number of credits at a time, others are taking it a step further by using an exploit that’s allowing players to rake in millions of credits almost instantly. A Forza Motorsport player uncovered the exploit by attempting to replicate the speed glitch from Forza Motorsport 7. The short gameplay clip shows the player screaming down the Mulsanne Straight, part of the iconic Le Mans circuit. While many were surprised by the fact that the speed glitch was still possible in the newly-released Forza Motorsport game that was marketed as being “built from the ground up,” the real shock is what happens after exiting the game and returning to the main menu. The player later came back to the comments section of their own Reddit thread, sharing, “This might be crazy, but I think this could be a credit and XP glitch! For some reason, after I quit the test drive, my level shows I’m at 409 (I was at like 50 I think), and I gained around 5.5mil credits?” Other Forza Motorsport community members were quick to test the glitch. One player reported, “I can confirm this glitch gives credits, I’ve now got 12 million instead of the 2 million I started with.” The method involves entering a car’s tuning menu and manipulating the car’s acceleration settings while using the game’s rewind feature. While some players are cautioning against the use of the exploit, saying that the glitch may result in a ban, others are making the most of the opportunity to seemingly bypass many weeks and months of in-game grinding to be able to purchase their dream cars. A detailed video guide on YouTube breaks down the process and has already racked up more than 30,000 views, with players in the comments section reporting that they’re earning close to five million credits in just a few minutes. As with any glitch, there is always a risk involved in exploiting game mechanics, so it’s best to proceed with caution.

Forza Motorsport fans hail “phenomenal” multiplayer as best yet Over the first week since its early access launch, Forza Motorsport players have gotten stuck into its newly revamped multiplayer and have fallen in love with what it has to offer. When it comes to online racing the Forza series doesn’t have the best reputation. That’s not because of lag, glitches, or server issues but rather because the standards of racing have been so poor. However, Forza Motorsport‘s revamped multiplayer switches up the formula and introduces mechanics like race weekends, a penalty system, and even pit strategies. As noted in our review, these changes are amongst the most significant the new entry has to offer. The addition of these core racing mechanics has gone down extremely well with fans universally praising the effect they’ve had. Forza Motorsport’s revamped multiplayer proves fan favorite The revamped multiplayer for Forza Motorsport has proven popular with many drivers being impressed by how much the racing standards in online races have improved this year. One Reddit post from a competitive racer with experience playing iRacing and Asseto Corsa admitted: “Have to admit, I was sceptical.. It’s not perfect, but the online multiplayer experience so far has been phenomenal!” OP continued to praise Forza Motorsport’s impressive level of driving, respect, and clean racing. This contrasted greatly with what they expected which was the usual Forza turn one pile-ups and crashes. “Agreed, the multiplayer is sensational. Every race I’ve played in my 18h online so far has been clean and respectful. There’s been some crashes here and there, but nothing intentional, only the product of good hard racing,” one player replied agreeing with the post. The praise continued with another fan responding: “I agree, the multiplayer is excellent. it works almost flawlessly for me at least on day one, it’s impressive…” Despite the recognition of Forza’s improved racing some are skeptical it will last: “Yeah the online is great. We’ll see if that holds true once the flood gates open on the 10th.” October 10 is Forza Motorsport’s official release date and when regular Xbox Game Pass owners will be able to play. Only time will tell if this fan’s concerns are valid and an influx of new players undoes Turn 10’s good work.

Forza Motorsport Car Leveling guide: Fast XP, AFK method, upgrades & more Xbox Game StudiosForza Motorsport inroduces a new system that sees Credits given the backseat and Car Levels take its place. Here’s everything you need to know about Car Leveling in Forza Motorsport including the fastest XP, best AFK method. and every upgrade available. One of the biggest changes in Forza Motorsport is the addition of a new RPG-like Car Leveling system. While previously you would simply spend Credits to upgrade cars you are now required to level them up instead. This mechanic has been added to try and address Forza’s long-term progression issue. Rather than having players showered in cars that they’ll never touch, Turn 10 hopes this will encourage racers to grow a meaningful connection with their garage. Contents Forza Motorsport Car Leveling explained – All car upgrades & required Car Levels – Fastest Car XP leveling method – AFK Car XP leveling method – How Car Levels works in Forza Motorsport To purchase upgrades in Forza Motorsport you require car levels and Car Points (CP). Levels are gained by completing track segments while CP is gained by leveling your car up and completing specific objectives. The maximum level you can reach on a car is Level 50. This will grant you access to every upgrade available for that specific car and 20,000 CP. Completing a track segment will always grant experience, but there are methods to increase the experience gained per segment. Here are all the methods to gain additional Car XP in Forza Motorsport: Great Segment: 50 CXP – Good Segment: 25 CXP – Personal Best Segment: 20 CXP (Practice only) – Overtake: 10 CXP – As car leveling is tied to completing segments it’s faster to level up cars that can complete more laps in less time. The slower the car, the slower your experience rates will be and the longer it will take to reach Level 50. Forza Motorsport: All upgrades & required Car Levels Every upgrade is unlocked at a specific car level. The level required to unlock a specific upgrade type is the same on every eligible car in Forza Motorsport. Here are all Forza Motorsport’s car upgrades and the Car Levels required to unlock them: Fuel and Air Exhaust – Level 1 – Air Filter – Level 1 – Intake Manifold and Throttle Body – Level 1 – Restrictor Plate – Level 1 – Fuel System – Level 8 – Ignition – Level 11 – Turbo – Level 20 – Intercooler – Level 20 – Engine Oil and Cooling – Level 1 – Flywheel – Level 6 – Camshaft – Level 23 – Valves – Level 26 – Displacement – Level 30 – Pistons and Compression – Level 35 – Platform and Handling Brakes – Level 1 – Chassis Reinforcement and Roll Cage – Level 1 – Ballast – Level 1 – Front Ant-roll Bars – Level 4 – Rear Anti-roll Bars – Level 4 – Spring and Dampers – Level 8 – Weight Reduction – Level 20 – Tires Front Tire Width – Level 2 – Rear Tire Width – Level 2 – Tire Compound – Level 11 – Wheels Stock Wheel Style – Level 2 – Custom Wheels (A-Z) – Level 2 – Drivetrain Clutch – Level 7 – Transmission – Level 9 – Differential – Level 9 – Driveline – Level 10 – Aero and Appearance Rear Wing – Level 12 – Front Bumper – Level 15 – Rear Bumper – Level 15 – Hood – Level 15 – Side Skirts – Level 15 – Conversion Engine Swap – Level 40 – Body Kit – Level 45 – Drivetrain Swap – Level 50 – Forza Motorsport: Fastest XP Car Leveling method The fastest method to earn XP and level up cars in Forza Motorsport is to hot lap in either Free Play or Rivals. Simply race around the track over and over putting up the best lap times possible. To optimize further it’s best to pick a track you are confident racing and can lap consistently fast on. Also, lapping technical circuits with more segments like Nurburgring GP and Suzuka can boost CXP rates. Forza Motorsport: AFK XP Car Leveling method It’s possible to level up any car in Forza Motorsport without playing the game, holding your controller, or even looking at your screen. Although this method is slower than the above strategy it requires next to no human input. For this AFK method, load into a Free Play race using Advanced Event Setup and select the following settings: Game type: Circuit Race – Race Length: Custom – Track: Le Mans – Circuit International de la Sarthe – Track layout: Old Mulsanne Circuit – Number of laps: 20+ – Number of Drivatars: 0 – Event rules presets: Club Rules – Once loaded into the event select the following Driving Assists: Braking: Fully Assisted – Throttle: Assisted – Steering: Fully Assisted – Shifting: Automatic – Now begin the race and your car will automatically drive itself around Le Mans. Le Mans is a great track for this as it’s relatively easy to drive allowing the AI to get high segment scores and earn Car XP faster. Every 15 minutes or so you will need to move your controller to avoid getting timed out of the session. Otherwise, feel free to kick back and what the CXP roll in.

Forza Motorsport: Builders Cup career mode explained Forza Motorsport introduces a new career mode for fans to work through which offers an old-school, structured format comparable to the classic entries. Here’s everything you need to know about the Builders Cup in Forza Motorsport. In its early days, the Forza Motorsport games took inspiration from the then-dominant Gran Turismo series. Sony’s signature racing game franchise had become renowned for its lengthy yet structured career modes and vast car list. As time went on Forza Motorsport strayed further and further from this format looking to develop its own identity. Now a reboot has arrived though it’s the perfect time to return to its roots and there’s no better way to do that than with the Builders Cup. What is the Builders Cup in Forza Motorsport? The Builders Cup is Forza Motorsport’s single-player career mode. It consists of five Tours with their own unique restrictions and entry requirements. Each tour is made up of 4 main events and an additional Showcase Event where you can try out your new prize car.

Forza Motorsport: Features, game engine & everything we know Xbox Game StudiosThe eighth installment of the Forza Motorsport franchise is a highly anticipated release that’s riding high on the back of Horizon 5’s excellent reception. This is everything we know about the upcoming racing title so far, including the latest announcements. As regular players of the popular racing game will know already, there are two main Forza franchises: Horizon and Motorsport. Forza Horizon is the open-world adventure with an arcade twist, while Motorsport is the simulation for hardcore racing fans. While Playground Games develops the Horizon games, Turn 10 Studios lead the charge on the Motorsport front. The latest installment of the franchise, Forza Motorsport, is a reboot of sorts, the game is not titled ‘Forza Motorsport 8’ as many expected and marks the debut of the track-based side of the franchise on Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S. Thanks to the update at the Summer Game Fest and the in-depth Forza Monthly that followed, we know a lot about the Forza Motorsport reboot, and it’s looking to be quite the entry. Is there a Forza Motorsport release date? During the Xbox Showcase on June 11, Turn 10 Studios confirmed that Forza Motorsport will be released on October 10, 2023. Initially, the studio confirmed that Motorsport would launch in Spring 2023. However, during Xbox’s Developer Direct on January 25, Microsoft confirmed that the title would instead launch later in the year. The game reportedly will require 132.1 GB of hard drive space for Xbox players, so make sure you have plenty of space available for the predownload. Forza pre-install has started people 😁 132.10GB 😬 CAN’T WAIT FOR OCT 10TH#Forzamotorsport #XboxSeriesX pic.twitter.com/JHYDx29jHS — 𝔸𝕁 𝕍𝕀𝕃𝕃ℤ (@AJVillz) September 19, 2023 Forza Motorsport trailer Several trailers for the upcoming Motorsport title have been released since its initial announcement in July 2021. The most recent appearance at Summer Game Fest 2023 featured in-game footage giving players an idea of how incredible the game’s visuals will be. Forza Motorsport will utilize full ray tracing and dynamic time that results in some incredible graphics. Both of these features were shown off during an older reveal at Summer Game Fest 2022. You can check out all the trailers below: Forza Motorsport platforms Forza Motorsport will be available on Xbox Series X, Series S, and PC. As usual with Forza, the new reboot will not be available on PlayStation or Nintendo. With the racing series being a first-party Xbox title it is extremely unlikely to ever appear on competing consoles. Forza Motorsport: New Features A range of new features and overhauls to the career were announced during a Forza Monthly uploaded on June 13. This developer stream revealed that the team had prioritized making each individual car feel more meaningful, offering a big shift away from Forza Motorsport 7’s car collection model. Career mode overhaul Forza Motorsport will see the career mode brought back to its roots. Players will start out in slow cars and gradually work their way up to faster vehicles over time. This is similar to how the franchise’s progression used to work in older entries. The career itself will be broken up into tours that limit what cars you can enter. Restrictions include your car’s discipline, type, nationality, and performance index class. Each tour is made up of five different cups and each cup consists of five different races. This means around 25 races for each tour giving players plenty to work through. Developer Turn 10 Studios has confirmed that more tours will be coming post-launch with new cars and tracks being added directly into them. Car levels and unlocking upgrades Forza Motorsport completely changes how the franchise’s progression and iconic car customization works. Gone are the days of buying a car and upgrading it using credits with car levels taking its place. The ability to equip parts is now unlocked by leveling up your car, with each car reaching up to level 50. You earn XP on a car every time you partake in practice or finish a race in it. Additional XP is earned for clean and fast racing. This adds an RPG-like aspect to Forza in a way that is rarely seen in racing games. However, parts aren’t purchased with car XP. For that, you’ll need Car Points which are earned alongside XP for completing various goals and races. Car Points are specific to each car and are the only way to purchase unlocks and new parts. More impactful upgrades will be locked behind higher levels. For example, changing your drivetrain or performing an engine swap will require your car to be higher level than installing a new air exhaust. Fully leveling a car is believed to take a couple of hours. Custom starting grid A key change in Forza Motorsport revolves around the difficulty settings and how payouts are determined. In previous installments, the event payout was decided by what assists you had disabled. However, that is no longer the case. Instead, players are now given the opportunity to choose where they start on the grid. The further back you choose the better the payout, assuming you’re fast enough to hit your goal. Based on what we know so far it does appear as though qualifying is being added. Next-gen graphics It has been confirmed that Forza Motorsport will feature ray tracing, as confirmed by creative director Chris Esaki. He has also stated that players will be able to enjoy impressive visuals across all tracks, games, and environments in the upcoming Forza Motorsport game. In addition to this, Turn 10 studio architect Chris Tector gave us an insight into how Forza Motorsport will take advantage of the Xbox Series X hardware during an interview with Engadget: “With the wheels, we no longer have to compromise with those approximations, because they would always end up with this really flat lighting, or there wouldn’t be enough light interaction between the wheel and the brake discs and the fender. It’s a big, complicated, tight space in there, and now, we’re able to actually get a very realistic look to that wheel.” Prior to the inclusion of onboard ray tracing in the next-gen consoles, Tector said that developers used to mimic lighting effects instead of implementing them fully, utilizing tools such as cube maps and static textures. AI overhaul Forza Motorsport will feature an evolved “Drivatar” system that uses machine learning to master every possible car and track combination. Per the official website, “The computer drives each track 26,000 times to achieve the fastest line through every layout! Just like actual players, the AI also uses a lot more of the track – pushing out to the track limits and even onto the curbs.” And these new AI will make mistakes, similar to how human drivers do. It’ll now be possible to see AI drivers brake too late, go wide, or even steer off track. AI difficulty can be scaled between 1-8, with 8 considered as “unbeatable.” What resolution will Forza Motorsport run at? Turn 10 studios promised that players can expect the new iteration of the series to run at a smooth 4k/60 FPS on Xbox Series X and 1080p/60 FPS on Xbox Series S. However, the PC version will be locked to just 60 FPS in multiplayer. As per the official website, “framerates are locked to 60FPS to ensure a consistent and competitive online racing experience for all players across a variety of PC hardware configurations and the Xbox Series X|S consoles.” In single-player, PC players can access unlocked framerates. In the Gamescom 2023 reveal, it was confirmed that Forza Motorsport has been optimized “to look and play great across a wide range of PCs, taking advantage of cutting-edge PC hardware and technologies with real-time ray tracing on-track and maximum performance enabled by NVIDIA DLSS 2 and AMD FSR 2.2.” New Forza Motorsport cars and tracks Forza Motorsport will launch with 20 “completely rebuilt” tracks, as well as 5 “never-before-seen” tracks. Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya – Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps – Eaglerock Speedway – Grand Oak Raceway – Hakone Circuit – Indianapolis Motor Speedway – Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit – Laguna Seca Raceway – Le Mans – Circuit International de la Sarthe – Maple Valley – Mugello Circuit – Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course – Nürburgring GP – Road America – Silverstone Circuit – Suzuka Circuit – Virginia International Raceway – Weathertech Raceway Laguna Seca was an obvious inclusion as this is where the majority of the release trailer is ‘filmed.’ Maple Valley Raceway has also been seen in a number of playtests before being announced for the upcoming Forza Motorsport game. Over 500 cars, per the Forza team, will be available to collect at launch. The Cadillac V-Series.R and the Corvette E-Ray were among the new cars confirmed for Forza Motorsport on June 11, 2023. You can read our ongoing list of confirmed cars for the new Forza Motorsport here. What do we know about Forza Motorsport gameplay? Features such as dynamic track and tire temperatures have been circulating the rumor mill. This means that tracks will get gradually ‘rubberized’ lap-by-lap as cars pass over and deposit sticky rubber from their tires. This in turn will increase the grip of the track on the racing line. In a world-first for the Forza Motorsport series of games, rallying and off-road races are set to be included. SUVs and off-road vehicles are also meant to play a pivotal part in this area of the game. Race sizes are also set to be increased, which would make NASCAR significantly more realistic. Do we know anything about Forza Motorsport online multiplayer? Details on the multiplayer for the new Motorsport are slim, but you can expect more information to arrive soon. Given the importance of having an in-depth online mode in modern racing games, there will be pressure on Turn 10 to deliver on this front. That’s everything we know about the eighth Forza Motorsport game so far!

Forza Monthly reveals new Motorsport features that have players divided Turn 10 StudiosThe Forza Motorsport team delved into new features that will be in the title’s career mode. However, several of the additions have racing fans divided. This past week, Turn 10 Studios and Microsoft revealed the release date and several new cars that will be in the new Forza Motorsport. Two days later, the title’s lead creative director gave racing fans new details on the Builders Cup, the mode that will make up Motorsport’s single-player career mode. But, some of the new additions have sparked concerns that the new single-player mode will make things just a bit too complex. June Forza Monthly reveals interesting features for Motorsport On June 13, Turn 10 Studios and Forza Motorsport creative director Chris Ezaki sat down with the Forza Monthly team for a deep dive into the game’s new single-player mode. It will be entitled Builders Cup, and will feature a plethora of series and events that will shift and evolve as new cars and race tracks are added into the title. Ezaki stated during the Monthly that for Motorsport, players will be able to select a car in each series, build it up, and take it to victory in what amounts to an RPG-like progression system. Drivers can participate in practice sessions and gain XP and increase car levels in real time and unlock parts for cars in events. There are some points of contention, however, from the Forza community with regards to the features in Motorsport. One is that upgrades for cars must be earned and require car points to install, a change that has members of the online community concerned that it will hinder creativity for vehicle customization. Then, there’s the issue of constant online connectivity. An online connection is required in order to earn points and parts needed for car upgrades. This has become a recurring theme in newer titles, as many sports titles in recent years like MLB The Show have required an connection to online servers in order to upgrade in single-player career mode. There are some, however, that seem to be fine with Forza’s decisions. Some applaud the developers’ decisions to opt against microtransactions aside from the title’s DLC packs and the new car progression system. This included some digs at Gran Turismo 7, Sony’s latest game in the seminal racing franchise and a game that, while positively received, got some backlash for how it implemented microtransactions. Forza Motorsport will be released worldwide this coming October for the Xbox Series X|S and PC.

Forza Horizon players send clear message to devs for changes in next game Playground GamesForza Horizon 5 is widely regarded as the best game in the Forza series, and one of the best racers of all time, but fans have revealed the area they feel FH5 was outdone in by older titles. When it comes to racing games, Microsoft has really stolen the show in recent years. Forza Motorsport continues to give petrolheads the down-to-earth sim action they crave, and the Forza Horizon series has taken over the lighthearted, street racing scene. For many, the formula was perfected in Forza Horizon 5. We gave Playground Games’ sequel a flawless review, and it’s gone on to be considered one of the all-time great racing games. That doesn’t mean there isn’t still room for improvement, however, and fans have picked out the key area they want to see refined in a possible Forza Horizon 6. One of the biggest draws of the Horizon series is its emphasis on fun rather than serious motorsport. The games are always geared around a colorful car festival, with streets closed to the public as they become your personal racetrack. However, for everything that Forza Horizon 5 does right, players have called for the vibe and atmosphere of the festival to be improved going forward, arguing that the latest Horizon Festival feels “bland.” Reddit user VAGASLOGOSTV uploaded a clip from the original Horizon, which showed two racers talking about pinkslips as a party rages on in the background. They accompanied the video with a message to the developers saying: We want a vibe like this in the next Forza.” The post generated over 200 replies, many of which agreed that the carnival in Forza Horizon 5 was lackluster compared to previous entries. “Something I miss from FH1 that feels very empty while playing FH5. Lack of atmosphere/vibe is one of the main problems I have with FH5. It just feels so bland,” said one reply. “Completely agree,” said another. “The soul and vibe of that game is everything that’s missing from FH5.” Many felt that Playground Games’ decision to lose the ‘underground’ feeling as the series has gone was deliberate, as a way of appealing to wide audiences. “Some of us don’t like the direction this series has gone, such as losing the festival atmosphere/vibe to being such a bland state, giving supercars right at the beginning, and the FH5 target audience being casual to little kids while dumbing everything down,” argued one player. There’s no word yet on when Forza Horizon 6 will arrive, but a job listing did recently reveal that it is in development. Fans will be hoping to see the series return to its roots when the sequel finally drops.

Forza Horizon 6 setting: Where will Horizon head next? Playground gamesAs the sun sets on our Mexican road trip, open-world racing fans will now be wondering, what will be the setting of Forza Horizon 6? The Forza Horizon games improve with each release as Playground Games refine the formula and driving mechanics. While Forza is all about the cars, the Horizon series is equally about the setting, with that being the main focal point of each entry. Now, with Colorado, Southern France, Northern Italy, Australia, the UK, and Mexico in our rear mirror, our attention turns to the setting of Forza Horizon 6. Where will our next open-road adventure be set, and when are we likely to see it? We have some ideas about where Forza Horizon 6 will be headed next. Forza Horizon 6 release date With the exception of the fifth entry, Forza Horizon games tend to release every two years. World events and new Xbox consoles may have delayed Forza Horizon 5, but our money is on seeing Forza Horizon 6 in 2023, or maybe 2024. The series is more popular than ever, so we think Microsoft will be keen to get a new title fast-tracked and try to repeat the success of Horizon 5. Of course, nothing has been confirmed yet by Xbox or Playground Games when it comes to Forza Horizon 6 or its setting. Forza Horizon 6: Potential settings Here’s where we think Forza Horizon 6 could be set: China China has a lot of potential as a Forza Horizon location, imagine a Colossus track around, or even on top of, the Great Wall? China also features a wide range of locations to mix up the gameplay, from vast open countryside, coastal fishing regions, to shining mega-cities, Playground Games could really make something special using China as the setting of Forza Horizon 6. United Arab Emirates Imagine speeding through the desert, with the city sparkling far in the distance, as you then cruise into a tropical oasis where you store your cars. We think this one is a matter of when, rather than if. Forza Horizon 5 showed that desert environments work very well in Horizon games, and this will not be lost on the devs. The UAE is synonymous with beautiful cars and stunning vistas, so locations like Dubai seem destined to host a Horizon festival at some point. India There’s nowhere in the world like India, and this makes it the ideal setting for Forza Horizon 6. The landscape is so varied that Playground Games could really go to town in crafting the most unique Horizon game yet. Read More: How to change the radio station in FH5 – Players could speed through jungles and rolling countryside, past ancient ruins, and towns in blistering heat or against huge monsoons. India must surely be on the list of settings discussed for Forza Horizon 6. Germany Driving down Germany’s autobahns in a Forza Horizon game seems inevitable, and we’re amazed we haven’t got to do so yet. These are highways with no speed limit, so they would make the perfect setting for Forza Horizon 6. Of course, the game would need to be more than just the autobahns, so imagine a Horizon Festival with Oktoberfest vibes – minus the drinking, but with an emphasis on cars and German engineering. Driving through the Bavarian countryside and forests would also be amazing. This is a side of Germany that many people don’t know about, or rarely see. Japan For us, Japan is the number one contender for Forza Horizon 6’s setting. There’s just so much potential, and fans have been crying out for it since Forza Horizon 2. Not only could the game take advantage of the Tokyo drift racing scene, but it could also create some breath-taking street races in some of the world’s most celebrated supercars. Read More: Fastest cars in Forza Horizon 5 – Japan isn’t all about technology and colorful cities though, the country has landscapes like no other place on Earth. Its mountainous regions could play host to some of Forza Horizon’s most exciting rally and cross-country events yet, as players screech past sixteenth-century castles and Buddhist temples. Or through cherry tree forests and hot springs – the scope is limitless. Japan simply needs to be a Forza Horizon location at some point. Even if it’s not the setting of Forza Horizon 6, the location will be unlike anything else we’ve ever seen in the series. And the good news is, we think Playground games know this too.

Forza Horizon 6 job listing confirms game is in development Playground GamesPlayground Games’ Forza Horizon 6 is already ‘in development’ according to a job listing for a Level Designer. Forza Horizon 5 launched in November 2021 to critical acclaim, amassing millions of players within its first week of release thanks to its availability via Game Pass on the day it dropped. According to a recent job listing from Playground Games, posted on Game Jobs, Forza Horizon 6 is clearly in development as the company is looking for its newest Level Designer to work on the series. It reads: “Playground Games is looking for a Level Designer to join our Forza Horizon team. “As a member of the design team on a AAA title, you’ll take responsibility for large sections of the game’s level design, as well as mentoring and leading junior teammates.” Does Forza Horizon 6 have a release date? This news comes six months after the release of Forza Horizon 5, which lines up with the franchise’s usual release schedule of every two years. Assuming it doesn’t get delayed by world events and a new Xbox console like its predecessor, we may be looking at Forza Horizon 6 being released in 2023 or 2024. With the Forza series being more popular than ever, it makes sense that Xbox Game Studios would want to fast-track the next release to repeat the success of Horizon 5. Of course, nothing has been confirmed outside of this job listing — so we will have to wait to see. As the last five games have brought players to Colorado, Southern France, Northern Italy, Australia, the UK, and Mexico, it’s unknown where the next game will travel to. However, Players reported a branded FH5 car with a camera in Sweden on April 18 — believing it could be an upcoming DLC. The event may very likely have no ties to the latest job listing, but it definitely has fans intrigued. Keep an eye on our Forza hub in the meantime for any updates.

Forza Horizon 5’s mystery about importing livery images has been solved Xbox Games StudiosSome Forza Horizon 5 players have found a way to import third-party images onto cars, but it breaks the game’s terms of service and could earn you a ban. We’ve seen all sorts of fantastic liveries in Forza Horizon 5 already, and even one that earned its creator an 8,000 year ban. What’s extra impressive is how accurate each one looks, despite there being no way to import assets into the game. However, some players have found a way to potentially bypass this, though it does run the risk of getting yourself banned if you try it. Forza Horizon 5 player imports livery images On December 6 Reddit user LiveryWeeb posted a picture of a perfect KEKW image he had perfectly applied to a vehicle’s hood. It’s not entirely out of the realm of possibility to come up with that, but the Mona Lisa is a little over the top. Once you get to the Parrot picture it’s clear this is probably something that wasn’t made by hand, despite LiveryWeeb insisting it only took them “15 minutes” of work. This isn’t the only example out there floating around though. If you do some searching you can find a livery of pop star Taylor Swift that’s also too detailed to be done by hand. So how are these being made? It can only be done on PC, and involved either a bot or a script to automate the actions required to make it in the vinyl editor. Forza Horizon 5 definitely has some artistically talented players out there have virtually mastered the game’s vinyl editor tool and push out a ton of great-looking designs, but there is a limit to what you can do with the tool, which is why you don’t see too many photo-realistic liveries floating around. However, while a neat trick, either one could run the risk of getting you a ban, since it technically breaks the game’s terms of service on hacking. How long would that be? We can’t say, but it might be best to just stick to what’s available if you want to stay safe.

Forza Horizon 5’s language filter is banning real names and players are furious Xbox/Playground GamesForza Horizon 5 has been released on PC and Xbox with over a million players accessing the game. However, it appears that its language filter is banning real names for “inappropriate content,” and players are furious. While Forza Horizon 5 has been in early access since November 5, it reached official release on November 9 on PC, Xbox, as well as Xbox Game Pass. It received high review scores from many players and has even been praised for its accessibility. However, the game’s high marks may have taken a hit after early-adopting players took to Twitter to express anger that their legal names have been flagged by an in-game language filter. Forza Horizon 5 Language Filter Just like its predecessors, Forza Horizon 5 has the option to customize your car’s license plate. Players have taken advantage of the feature to add their real name or gamer tag to make their favorite car feel more personalized. However, it appears that some players of the racing franchise haven’t had very good luck displaying their name on their car, as the game’s built-in language filter has flagged those with certain names. Twitter user Osama Dorias tweeted out his issue: “Oh no, it appears that my name is inappropriate content.” Oh no, it appears that my name is inappropriate content. 💔 Who do I have to thank for this?#ForzaHorizon5 pic.twitter.com/92AbLlqq2g — Osama Dorias 🇵🇸✊🏼 (@osamadorias) November 9, 2021 Another user by the name of Nazih Fares wasn’t as surprised about her name being blocked: “The eternal curse of not being allowed to use my legal name will forever hunt me.” Fares went on to reply with a blurred-out copy of his driver’s license showing that it is actually his real name. Oh why am I not surprised @WeArePlayground The eternal curse of not being allowed to use my legal name will forever hunt me. pic.twitter.com/wtoWWY6YJ4 — Nazih Fares (@nazihfares) November 9, 2021 An employee of Ubisoft joined the conversation, explaining that they feel it’s time to quit banning common names in user-generated content. They went on to explain their thoughts: “If it’s being abused, people will report it and it will be dealt with. But if you want to be inclusive, you need to actually be inclusive across all fronts.” I think it’s really time that we stop banning common names from user generated content. If it’s being abused people will report it and it will be dealt with. But if you want to be inclusive you need to actually be inclusive across all fronts. — Malek T. (مالك) (@malekawt) November 9, 2021 Playground Games recently announced that they will be adding ASL and BSL interpreters to cutscenes, allowing those who are deaf or hard of hearing to understand the emotion behind the already existing subtitles.

Forza Horizon 5’s Horizon World Cup update: How to play, start date & event details Playground GamesPlayers are gearing up for Forza Horizon 5’s World Cup event, and all the world’s major countries are expected to have tons of players taking part and competing in this community promotion. As with most games in the series, Forza Horizon 5 has been a rip-roaring success with critics and fans alike. New content is being added all the time and unbelievable viral clips are showing the fun that can be had in the racing game. Forza Horizon 5’s newest playlist update coming is set to drop even more items and things to do, the main one being the ‘Horizon World Cup.’ It will be a 4-week mash of players fighting to earn points and get their country to come out on top. Contents What is Forza Horizon 5’s World Cup event? The Forza Horizon 5 World Cup is a 4-week event that pits all the world’s countries against one another. Playground Games want players from England, Spain, France, Italy, the USA, and a whole lot more to compete against each other to win a grand prize at the end for their respective nation. To signify allegiances and to actually earn points, players need to decide which country they will side with. If a Spanish person uses an Italian car to win a race, then it will be Italy who gets the overall points for the World Cup, not Spain. So it does create an interesting dilemma for players to see if they opt for patriotism over favoritism. Each time a player completes a Festival Playlist event like a Trial or a Championship, the player can earn a point for the country where the car originated from. For example, using an Audi will earn a point for Germany. When does Forza Horizon 5’s World Cup event update start? The event is expected to commence on Thursday, February 3, 2022, with the start of Forza Horizon 5’s next Festival Playlist Series. As soon as it’s live, players can begin using the car of their choice and earning points towards the country of their choosing. As always, if you’re on Xbox or PC and still haven’t had a chance to jump into the game then you can do so for free through Xbox Game Pass!

Forza Horizon 5 Winter Festival: Where to find the Horizon 3 Festival Site Playground GamesForza Horizon 5’s Winter Festival is filled with exclusive rewards and plenty of challenges. But to complete one of the challenges you need to find the Horizon 3 Festival Site in the first place. Here’s the Winter Festival location. As one of the four seasonal festivals, the game’s Winter Festival is all about getting hold of exclusive or rare cars to further fill your garage. It’s also about completing the challenges and exploring all this large map has to offer. One such challenge is to locate the Horizon 3 Festival Site in the Dunas Blancas. However, it’s not displayed on the map, meaning the hunt is rather complicated. We’ve got exactly where you can find it so you can get on with the other challenges and get that Eagle Speedster. What is the Winter Festival in Forza Horizon The Winter Festival is a seasonal event that allows players to get hold of some exclusive and rare cars as well as a plethora of other useful rewards by completing challenges. Essentially, by finding a location like the Forza Horizon 3 Festival Site, you will be able to complete two of these challenges. Namely, The photo challenge (although you need to be in the 2016 Lamborghini Centenario LP 770-4 to complete it), and the first daily challenge ‘Party like it’s 2016’. Where to find the Forza Horizon Winter Festival Unfortunately, the location of the Forza Horizon 3 Festival Site is not displayed on the overall map meaning most players will simply need to search around aimlessly. If you head to the right of your map and look just below the Dunas Blancas, you’ll see a three-way road just off the left of the main white road. Drive over here and the Forza Horizon 3 Festival Site will be found. Just make sure to take a picture and be driving the 2016 Lamborghini Centenario. That’s how you can find the Forza Horizon 3 Festival Site in Forza Horizon 5 and be well on your way to completing all the required challenges.

Forza Horizon 5 update patch notes: DLC & rewards changes, exploit fixes MicrosoftForza Horizon 5 developers have pushed their first patch for the game since release with a focus on fixing multiplayer gameplay and several reported exploits. With the release of Forza Horizon 5 on November 5, the latest installment in the series quickly smashed launch records with over 4.5 million players on the first day. It hasn’t been without its issues, though, as many players have complained about online and visibility problems in Horizon Arcade.

Forza Horizon 5 unreleased car parts discovered and players want them MicrosoftUnreleased Forza Horizon 5 car parts for customization have been discovered and players would like to see them added to the game in a future update. Customizing vehicles in the Forza series has always been a fan-favorite feature, in both Motorsport and Horizon. It gives members of the community to put their own twist on some of the world’s top super and hypercars, as well as share them to be downloaded by other people. This January, one player has been doing a deep dive into the unused parts that didn’t make the cut for FH5, including those of Cooper, Dunlop, Pirelli, Michelin, Continental, and Yokohama. The reason for these branded slick tires not being included in the game is unknown, but there is a possibility that it’s either the choice of the development team or that naming rights were not secured to do so. Forza Horizon 5 unreleased car parts leaked A collection of images were posted to Reddit on January 7, showing a list of different designs not yet available in-game – courtesy of user Carver6K. One user replied: “Aw man, they look sick. I hope this isn’t just a carryover from the development of the new Motorsport and we get to use them at some point in Horizon.” Another pointed out that one of the slicks is included in the game; the middle Michelin design, which can be used on the BMW X5M FE. Other than that, the rest don’t appear to be included in Playground Games’ latest title. One user added: “It’s a shame we can’t use these.” Another said: “We seriously need to be able to use these. I love branded slicks.” There is no official word as to whether these branded tires will be added to Forza Horizon 5 or not, but players have sent a clear message to the dev team after seeing them – they would like to use them in the future.

Forza Horizon 5 trick lets players speed around dangerous corner MicrosoftA player discovered a trick allowing them to avoid slamming into a building in Forza Horizon 5 that’s usually the cause of much grief. Playground Games released Forza Horizon 5 on PC and Xbox late last year to critical acclaim. The studio continues to support the racer with new content, too, including DLC offerings like the Hot Wheels expansion. But the core game never fails to provide players with fresh challenges. And one user recently uncovered a way to overcome one challenge, in particular. Hopefully, their findings help others take on a tricky turn that seems to stop many Forza Horizon racers in their tracks. Forza Horizon 5 trick helps fan avoid ramming into nearby building Redditor BanzYT “frequently misjudge[s]” a turn near a house on Forza Horizon 5’s open-world map. Instead of successfully rounding a curve on a tricky stretch of road, the player most often slams into the near the street. Apparently, the Reddit user now knows how to avoid this problem – driving between the house and the beams that support its awning. In subsequent posts, BanzYT shared a screenshot showing how their car’s “like a hair’s width away from the pole on the right.” To say they were cutting it close is an understatement. Several other users seem to appreciate the tip, especially since crashing into the house isn’t an uncommon occurrence. Players should still move carefully through this area, though. Pulling off such a trick at high speeds won’t be easy, not even for the best of Forza Horizon 5 racers. Forza Horizon 5 is out now on PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S platforms.

Forza Horizon 5 treasure chest locations: Heights of Mulege & where to find MicrosoftCan’t find the latest Forza Horizon 5 treasure chest? We’re here to help you locate and smash every season’s chest, including Heights of Mulege and more as they are released. Since its release on November 5, Forza Horizon 5 has provided fans with more than plenty to do throughout the game. Alongside Event Lab, and Horizon Festival goals, the games Series’ and Seasons will continue to add more content over the coming months.

Forza Horizon 5 treasure chest locations Hidden under the accolades menu on Forza Horizon 5 is a list of challenges that award you points towards a bigger goal like a legendary car or two. Among those challenges is one that unlocks the season’s treasure chest, with the first one being Heights of Mulege. In the Heights of Mulege challenge, you must complete the danger sign jump with two or more stars using the C8 Corvette. 1. Heights of Mulege Treasure chest location In your C8 Corvette, head over to the Mulage danger sign located northeast of the first house you are awarded in-game. Be aware that you may have to tune your C8, as the stock version may not allow you to go fast enough to make the jump. Once you complete the challenge, a red circle similar to a barn find will be placed on your map. This treasure chest may be hard to find at first, as it’s a dark brown chest contrasting against the brown sand. As soon as you head over to the marked location on the map you will notice a long, white tent. Head on over there, and directly north of it will be your treasure. If you successfully find the treasure chest, smash into it and you will be rewarded with 50,000 credits and a wheel spin. At the time of writing, the Heights of Mulege is the only treasure chest that has been released into the game. Check back often as we’ll update this guide with all the chests as they release.

Forza Horizon 5 TikTok uncovers secret XP board you may have missed MicrosoftForza Horizon players have uncovered an XP billboard that is incredibly hard to reach, and might not be worth the effort. Though, it has produced some funny results. As anyone who has jumped into the Forza Horizon series will know, progressing through the game isn’t just about winning races and speeding past opponents. You need XP to level up and unlock new opportunities – be that in the form of new race series, new cars themselves, or even new locations on the game’s map. There are plenty of ways to get XP while darting around Horizon’s stunning backdrops, however, the bonus XP billboards are the quickest way to get leveling up. However, in Horizon 5, there is one that players are having a hard time with. Most XP billboards are pretty obvious and easy to spot – they’ll be on the side of the road or close to a jump spot. Yet, this one takes the cake. As TikToker BikerSenpai shows, there is a 5,000 XP billboard stuck sideways in an electrical transmission tower. That’s right, sideways, and up in the air – it is pretty easy to miss if you just zoom past in your car. Now, it isn’t all that impossible to get to – as BikerSenpai managed to get there eventually – but it does same some serious effort. You might even find yourself landing on top of the transmission tower, which is impressive in its own right, but it does mean you’ve failed to hit the billboard. With it only being worth a bonus 5,000 XP, some players have questioned if it was worth the trouble that the TikToker went through. Though, with around 7 million views on the post, it seems to have paid off. Though, maybe other players will have an easier time with it.

Forza Horizon 5 Solar Panels: Location & where to find Playground GamesForza Horizon 5 has a staggering amount of content and tasks for players to complete. One such objective involves smashing your way through Solar Panels, and one spot is the perfect location for you to maximize your efforts. Players are still lapping up all the content that Forza Horizon 5 has to offer. The roads of Mexico are constantly being terrorized by adrenaline-fueled car junkies who are tearing it up in new cars and setting ridiculous points records. Aside from that, Forza gives players plenty of goals to achieve, and knowing the whereabouts of a popular Solar Panel spot will do you the world of good for one of them. Contents How to complete Forza Horizon 5 Total Eclipse accolade The main reason players will need to seek a vendetta with Solar Panels is the ‘Total Eclipse’ accolade. It asks players to go out of their way to destroy 100 Solar Panels in a specific car. Here’s the official description of the objective: “Smash 100 Solar Panels in the 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX.” Doing so will reward players with the “The Shadow Falls” Forza Link and 500 Prestige. If you’re not as well-versed with the game’s map, then our guide below will show you the optimal place to perform your Solar Panel shenanigans. Solar Panel location in Forza Horizon 5 You can find this spot on the map, just west of the ‘Cordillera writing.’ If you look carefully on the map, you’ll realize that the area itself is quite distinguishable thanks to the silver Solar Panel-shaped symbols grouped together. Here’s the exact location you’ll need to go to, we’ve marked it with a red ring. Once you’ve smashed them all, simply use fast travel to another location, drive back to the same spot and smash them all over again!

Forza Horizon 5 review – Mexico map takes series to another level MicrosoftAs the sun glares down on the tropical plains of Mexico with flamingos resting in their natural habitat, tranquility erupts into engine-roaring chaos in Forza Horizon 5 and we wouldn’t have it any other way. It’s been a three-year wait for another Horizon game from Playground Games, and for many – following the Forza Motorsport trailer from July 2020 – Horizon 5’s reveal was a shock in June. To have the game revealed and released within the same six months sent anticipation through the roof, and the developers have delivered. The last two installments in the franchise have taken players to a fictional part of Britain, as well as Australia. While a change of scenery was always expected, the wide variety of challenging terrain, dynamic courses, and beautiful scenery in Mexico make this map the best the series has ever created. Forza Horizon 5 – Key Details Price (Standard Edition): $59.99 / £54.99 / AU$75 – Developer: Playground Games – Release date: November 9, 2021 – Platforms: Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One & PC – Review copy: Xbox Series S – Forza Horizon 5 trailer As this is the fifth installment of the Horizon series, regular players will know the structure and gameplay style by now – so we’re going to focus on the new content. There’s no shortage of notable changes, either. Customization Rivaled only by Cyberpunk 2077 for its inclusivity in character creation, Forza Horizon 5 sets a new standard with the option to have your player identify as genderfluid. On top of that, Playground Games have also included a feature to choose prosthetic limbs for your driver – meaning this year the character creation tools are more representative of society than ever. Next up, vehicle customization. There are different perks available to purchase for each of your cars, which vary based on model and manufacturer. A lot of the tried-and-tested customization options for parts or decals remain the same, which will be good news for returning players. The ‘drag and drop’ nature of picking up community designs remains, and it’s really easy to use. The performance chart (right) is also really handy if you’re new to the game, and would like to see how each upgrade will bolster your vehicle. So, whether you’re looking for a new spray, complicated design, or to make your car better in specific areas, the My Cars menu is the place to go. Forza Horizon 5 Mexico map The Forza series has always produced beautiful environments from a graphical standpoint – in fact, it’s known for delivering the most picturesque of all Xbox games on Game Pass. Your trip to Mexico on Xbox Series X|S will not disappoint, either. Your introduction to the Forza Horizon 5 map will certainly be a memorable moment in your journey. Planes come crashing down towards the ground, dropping off a handful of vehicles for you to test out, and you’re thrown into the deep end having to handle so many fast cars in challenging terrain. From sandy beaches to bumpy jungles, the surroundings have never felt so immersive or as realistic as this. Unlike the Australia map (which was still graphically excellent at the time), there is no cardboard cutout approach to some elements of terrain. At speed, you used to hit trees and they would fly out the way like they were made from styrofoam. With Horizon 5, the margin for error is a lot narrower, because hitting these bushes, trees, or hitting the floor at the wrong angle after a jump will hamper you big-time. Oh, there are also new weather effects as well – check out this dust storm: In choosing the land of extremes – high rugged mountains, low coastal plains, and difficult deserts – Playground Games have served up the perfect cocktail. Gameplay Gameplay has never been a problem for Forza, though with next-gen comes fine-tuned upgrades that reinforce the feeling of realism. In terms of handling, the skill level requirement has increased with the addition of so many unforgiving race tracks. Previously, the gameplay has had a very arcadey style which makes the task of mountain races, driving across deserts and beaches a little easier. Conversely, this year every bump on the road needs to be managed to perfection on some tracks. It will ultimately make us better drivers (in-game of course, I haven’t got my license). Handling for faster vehicles appears to be more controlled, even with base specs on your car of choice. Though the great thing about the plethora of biomes available to play on is that no one car is suitable for every race, so varying your collection has never felt more crucial. Often in Horizon 4, the fastest cars or upgraded versions of slower vehicles would be a little wild and difficult to control. In relation to understeer and oversteer, Forza Horizon 5 allows you to recover at speed in a smoother way – though you do have more obstacles to dodge, naturally because of the map choice. For Horizon Festivals, these will take you from place to place on the Mexico map. By completing each of them (and the side races that come alongside), these packages are very rewarding for players. From a progression standpoint, Horizon 5 – as expected – rewards you tremendously for becoming a great driver. The new Photo Mode tasks, Car Skill Points, and Accolades keep things fresh, progressing your story from festival to festival. While we don’t intend on spoiling anything for you in this review, the journey progresses similarly to Horizon 4 with a few really cool moments along the way. Verdict – 10/10 Forza Horizon 5 sets a new industry gold standard for racing game visuals, gameplay, and map design. Our expectations of map design just leveled up with Horizon 5, and it’s another massive victory for Game Pass members who will get it on release day. The good news for players is that there’s future DLC content to come, which will only add to what is comfortably the most exciting next-gen racing game released so far.

Forza Horizon 5 DLC announced: Everything we know about Rally Adventure Xbox Game StudiosDeveloper Playground Games unveiled Forza Horizon 5 DLC titled Rally Adventure; here’s everything we know about the upcoming expansion. Rally Adventure marks the second post-launch DLC release for the Forza Horizon sequel. Last year’s Hot Wheels expansion counted as the first of such content releases, giving players access to nearly a dozen new cars as the brand’s iconic orange race tracks. Today, February 23, Playground Games hosted a Twitch stream to reveal the second major expansion for Forza Horizon 5. Since the new content will hit digital stores in approximately one month, the development team had plenty to showcase. Here’s everything we know about Rally Adventure, thus far. Forza Horizon 5 Rally Adventure DLC release date Playground plans to roll out the Rally Adventure expansion next month on Wednesday, March 29. It’ll be available across PC via Steam, Xbox Series X|S, and Game Pass platforms. Despite the main game launching on Xbox One consoles, it doesn’t appear as though that eighth-gen hardware will receive the upcoming Rally-centric DLC. Forza Horizon 5 Rally Adventure gameplay trailer A short gameplay trailer accompanied the Rally Adventure announcement, teasing Rally racing, a “rugged” Sierra Nueva locale, a new Rally career, and the tools necessary to build a “Rally monster.” It seems fans of Forza Horizon 5 have plenty to look forward to when this new DLC arrives in just a matter of weeks. Playground Games and Xbox deployed Forza Horizon 5 in late 2021 to rave reviews. It quickly became a fan-favorite entry in the series, though it did stumble in recent months due to Auction House errors. Whether or not the new DLC can keep up the generally strong momentum remains to be seen. But players will soon be able to determine for themselves whether or not Rally Adventure is worth the time of day.

Forza Horizon 5 radio stations have started to “offend” players MicrosoftForza Horizon 5 radio stations have left many players gritting their teeth in frustration, with some saying they’re actually offended by the latest musical offerings. The music in the Forza Horizon series has always been loved by the community, with a number of different stations for rock, dance, pop, and other genres. Just think of it: the speakers in your Lamborghini up to the max, flying through the beautiful roads of Mexico, clouds in the sky as perfect as those in paintings – can anything beat that type of atmosphere? Well, according to many fans, it’s not actually as good as it should be this time. Forza Horizon 5 soundtrack is dividing players On January 24, one Reddit user – called box-fort2 – posted their verdict on the music stations available in Forza Horizon 5. They said: “I’ve never had a video game soundtrack legitimately offend me before, but here we are.” Included in the post is a meme image, with audio playing in the background featuring a few of the tracks from FH5. At the time of writing, over 4,000 fans have upvoted the post. Fans react to FH5 soundtrack In the comments, a number of criticisms are leveled at the soundtrack. Some say there isn’t enough variety, while others point to censorship of certain records. One said: “The Horizon Festival was supposed to be a music festival with car racing. Now it feels like they assume everyone streams Spotify and don’t give a sh** about the music.” Another stated: “I can’t decide what I dislike more, the songs or the censoring. Why is the word “consumption” censored on Unperson by Nothing but Thieves? What is the point of having Teardrops on there if every other word is bleeped out?” Fans of specific bands aren’t too happy about the changes, either. A third user added: “Bring Me the Horizon is my favorite band and I was so excited when teardrops started on the station and then all the censoring made me wonder why they even added it.” “What do you mean? Do you not like them entirely removing an entire verse?” another joked. Being offended by something like this might sound funny on the surface, or possibly an overreaction. But for people who are passionate about music and want to listen to their authentic versions while driving, it appears that Horizon 5 doesn’t deliver.

Forza Horizon 5 players slam Horizon Arcade as one of “worst” changes in years Xbox Game StudiosForza Horizon 5 players have criticized Horizon Arcade as one of the “worst” in years after developers changed it from Forzathon Live. Forza Horizon 5 was officially released on November 9 and with it came a few changes to the gameplay. One of the biggest would be the map change from the UK to Mexico, but there is also a change in the multiplayer challenges formerly known as Forzathon Live. Originally launched in Horizon 3, Forzathon Live introduced special hourly multiplayer events in which up to 12 players could join together to finish challenges. When these events were available, the game would alert you so you could quickly head to the destination. With the game’s latest release, however, the developers have changed the name to Forza Arcade and there are some issues that are leaving players furious. Forza Arcade issues On November 10, a player went to the Forza subreddit to express their anger about the changes made to the multiplayer game mode. The fan started his message with: “I have tried them, since the early access release, continuously, 30+ times and we could never beat it.” Further explaining their thoughts, they mentioned that there are never enough players joining the challenges compared to the previous games. However, there seems to be an explanation for the decrease in players. “How could they,” the Redditor asked. “They barely get announced anymore and just pop-up on the map without anyone mentioning them and then on top they split them into 2 separate ‘Forzathons’ to split the community even more. The user also stated that they believe the goal points are too much for a small group to handle, and they believe the developers should set the events back to a set timeframe like they had for previous games. This isn’t the first time players have reported a game-breaking issue, as others have had troubles setting their real name as their license plate. Playground Games has yet to make a statement on the feedback, so it’s unknown if anything will be changed with future updates.

Forza Horizon 5 players roast devs over “appalling” visual bug ActivisionForza Horizon 5 is one of the best-looking games of the new generation. The greater Guanajuato area is carefully brought to life by extreme detail in picturesque environments. That same attention to detail also means that, when something is wrong, players are going to have a hard time looking past it. Anyone who has taken FH5 for a spin knows exactly how good the game looks. Whether in the rocky outcropping of La Gran Caldera or the tight raceway inside the stadium, every part of the game offers something bold and exciting to look at. Even the weather is rendered to a painstaking degree, giving the whole experience a feeling appropriate for a next-gen experience. Unfortunately, all it takes is a small mistake for that immersion to be ruined, and that’s exactly what’s happened with the game’s cockpit view. Forza Horizon 5 beg Playground Games to fix cockpit visual bug Forza offers players the ability to drive using either a third-person overhead view or a much tighter first-person view as if they are sitting directly at the wheel. The former offers players a chance to take in their entire surroundings while cruising on the open road, while the latter brings them into the headspace of a real driver, putting them right into the seat of the action. Unfortunately for first-person enthusiasts, a long-standing lighting bug can cause the game to appear several shades darker than intended, making it a tough task to navigate through late nights or in heavily overcast conditions. After one user posted about the problem over on the FH subreddit, several other community members jumped in to share their experiences. One player suggested that problem stems from the devs simply not caring about making cockpit gameplay realistic: “They simply don’t care about cockpit play. Even wheel and shifting animations are still crap.” Another commenter chimed in to say that even adjusting settings won’t alleviate all of the pain. “It’s pretty appalling how bad the autoexposure is, it varies from car-to-car and changes as the sun move… I will say, properly adjusting my system HDR calibration helped a little bit, but it’s still way off. At dawn/dusk it’s basically impossible to see.” There’s no word from Playground on if they’re looking into this issue at all, but with rumors of DLC on the Horizon, drivers should keep their eyes peeled for news just in case.

Forza Horizon 5 infinite money glitch: How to earn money without Willys Jeep Xbox Game StudiosA Forza Horizon 5 exploit that allowed players to buy and sell jeeps for unlimited money has been patched by Playground Games. Forza Horizon 5 players were using an exploit involving Willys jeep which lets them repeat a simple process and pocket the cash as they went. A hotfix, released on November 17, 2021, has removed the exploit so that players can no longer repeat this process for unlimited cash in Forza Horizon 5. Those who took advantage of the exploit while it worked will get to keep their ill-gotten gains, however, as the devs can only patch the exploit itself, not the money earned from doing it. Therefore, those who made millions of credits by upgrading and dumping Willys jeeps can rest easy. However, you’ll be unable to use the trick again – but you can still earn plenty with a new trick. Contents How the Forza Horizon 5 exploit worked Players would buy Willys jeep for 40,000 credits, fully upgrade it, and then receive the Super Wheelspin reward. This allowed players to earn rewards, one being over a million credits or cars worth insane money, over and over again. Essentially, players are guaranteed an epic reward after fully upgrading their jeep. After doing so, these players would then just sell the jeep to another player which allows them to recoup the skill points they spent on it, which they can then use again. Read More: Is Forza Horizon 5 on Xbox Game Pass? – However, since the patch, this trick no longer works as players can no longer regain their points after getting rid of their jeep, nor can they earn multiple Super Wheelspins from this method. It was only ever a matter of time until this exploit was patched out of Forza Horizon 5 by the developers, but many players will already have earned millions of credits from it. Are there more Forza Horizon money exploits? With the Willys jeep exploit removed from the game, the next car upgrade for easy Super Wheelspins would be the Pontiac Firebird. In truth, this isn’t an exploit, but it’s still an effective way to get easy Super Wheelspins by legitimate means. It takes 14 Skill Points to earn a Super Wheelspin, where Willys jeep only took 5, and the cost is only 25,000 credits. Therefore you’re likely to still make your money back in a Super Wheelspin unless you’re very unlucky. The same tactic can also be used on the Porsche Cayman GTS. This only needs 11 Skill Points to unlock a Super Wheelspin. Looking for more Forza Horizon 5 guides?

Forza Horizon 5 players discover cheeky easter egg in Top Gear Top Gear YouTube / ForzaAn elephant-eared Forza Horizon 5 player has discovered a strange easter egg in Top Gear, referencing Playground Games’ series in the most subtle way possible. Top Gear Magazine’s Ollie Kew walked viewers through a review of the Zenvo TSR-S supercar on January 7, with its wicked waggling wing. The TV show, which has been a part of crossovers with Microsoft’s top car series in the past, appears to have rekindled the connection between the two – as a fan has seemingly unearthed a gem. Forza Horizon 5 easter egg found in Top Gear During the video, there is a close-up frame of the vehicle that appears just seconds into the shoot, featuring an intriguing background noise. The sound is strikingly similar to Horizon 5’s and you can even hear crowd noises, as well as checkpoints being ticked off if you listen in close. A casual Forza fan might skip over the reference, but that’s what the hardcore drivers are here for. (Segment starts at 0:10 in the video below) Who found it? The easter egg, of course, was found by Reddit user VerticalStrafes on January 9. They said: “Top Gear used the audio from Forza for this Zenvo video LOL. You can straight up hear the checkpoints and crowd noises during the clip. They’re not the only ones to have spotted the casual reference to the series, either, as a number of YouTube comments appeared to make the same connection. One YouTube user said: “The audio is so realistic there’s no way it could be from a game, such as Forza. Not like I can’t hear the crowd cheering!” Another added: “I could recognize that backfire sound immediately.” One user said: “The crowds and checkpoints are also easily recognized.” The audio is similar, if not identical, to that of Forza Horizon 5 – and fans are loving this hidden easter egg. Next time you reach a checkpoint or finish a race, be sure to listen in and you’ll see what people are talking about!

Forza Horizon 5 players convinced DLC coming soon as IRL teaser found in Sweden Xbox Games StudiosAfter a Ferrari rocking expensive cameras and Forza Horizon 5 livery was spotted in Sweden, fans are convinced it has something to do with an upcoming DLC. Forza Horizon 5 was a hit when it came out in November 2021, receiving praise from critics and fans of the series alike. Roughly six months after the game came out, Forza fans in Sweden noticed something some think could mean a new DLC is on the way: a Ferrari with Forza Horizon 5 livery and expensive cameras hanging on the sides. Real Forza Horizon 5 car spotted in Sweden Reddit user Willen17 posted a short video of the Forza Ferrari to the game’s subreddit, asking if anyone knew what was going on. The car is decked out in Forza Horizon 5 logos, and has a QR code on the back – which if you scan, it takes you to the game’s official site. Additionally, it has a RED camera mounted to the side. This could be the most important detail from the video, as these cameras typically cost over $20,000. With all of this, there are two likely scenarios. First, is that this is a collaboration between Forza and a local YouTuber. While this makes sense on the surface, not many YouTubers would use or even have access to an expensive RED camera. This leaves the possibility that it’s somehow related to a new DLC as the one most players seem to favor. Forza Horizon 5 DLC on the way? We’ve seen plenty of live-action trailers from Forza, and especially for the Horizon series, before. So, it would make sense if this camera-toting car is filming exactly that. With Horizon 5 set in Mexico, a DLC taking players to Sweden would definitely be a change of scenery. It’s too early to tell for sure, but we wouldn’t be surprised if news of an expansion starts leaking out soon.

Forza Horizon 5 players call for solution to gifting’s biggest problem Xbox Games StudiosForza Horizon 5 players are calling for an easy solution to the biggest problem they face when gifting cars — there’s no filter for your cars. Since the games release on November 9, fans around the world have enjoyed playing against each other as well as sending random players gifts through the in-game gift drop option. Playground Games provided more players with incentives to gift cars with Series 2’s special Horizon Secret Santa, which unlocks special items as players send cars around the world. As the process has gained popularity, fans have taken to Reddit to call for a solution to the biggest problem they face when gifting cars. Forza Horizon 5 gifting cars biggest problem On December 17, Reddit user kevkevfuuuuu took to the game’s subreddit to voice his opinion on how the developers could make gifting easier. He explained: “I really like the car gifting feature in FH5, and since I collect cars, wheelspins, and prizes like crazy, I’m doing my part gifting cars I have twice or even more times than that to random players hoping they get better use out of it.” The user then called for a “quality of life” feature, and explained why: “What would make this process way easier would be a “duplicate cars” filter, that shows every car you have multiple copies of. Right now I have to painstakingly scroll through the 500+ cars in my garage and manually search for dupes.” His idea was instantly approved by many other fans, who also chimed in with their own ideas for Forza Horizon 5’s car inventory. Comment byu/kevkevfuuuuu from discussion inforza A user by the name of NinjaOxygen added that he would love to see an option to “lock” cars into your inventory, so you don’t accidentally gift cars you want to keep. They weren’t the only fans of the game that suggested features they’d like to see added into the game, so we’ll have to wait to see if any of the suggestions end up in the game.

Forza Horizon 5 player slapped with 8,000-year ban for livery they made ForzaA Forza Horizon 5 player has been struck with the game’s version of the death penalty after their custom livery landed them an 8,000-year ban. As members of the Forza community will know, with each passing title there are increased customization options available to use on liveries. You can spray a car whatever color you like and even share it with fellow players, who can download the best ones for themselves with the community creations feature. However, it appears that one player has crossed the line. Forza Horizon 5 player banned for 8,000 years On November 29, a player took to Reddit to share their devastated friend’s experience. They wrote: “So my friend just told me that he got an 8,000-year ban for one of his liveries, looks like T10 doesn’t like jokes or something. He never received any warning before this ban either.” Read More: Best rally cars in Forza Horizon 5 – Attached to the post, which has racked up over 2,900 upvotes at the time of writing, was an image of both the livery and the announcement of the ban. The custom livery design: As seen above, the custom design features North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, as well as a ‘Send Nukes’ image on the design. Read More: Forza Horizon 5 treasure chest locations – There is an image of the Supreme Leader imposed on top of a KFC logo, too, taking up the role of Colonel Sanders, and a Pirelli logo with Pyongyang on it – the capital of the country. The next time they tried to play the critically-acclaimed racing game, the following message appeared: “Your gamertag has been banned from this feature,” with a note that stated their unbanned date would be 12/31/9999. Forza Horizon 5 players react Replying to the thread, a fellow player said: “The real thing worth noting here is that being banned permanently/till 9999 for a first offense is ridiculously heavy-handed (unless someone does something far worse than any of the cases I have heard of). Temp bans, sure. But permanent bans should be reserved for those who have already demonstrated they can’t take a hint.” Another said: “Problem is those ‘parody Brands’ are right next to a hated dictator. In corporate business, this can easily be seen as a huge problem for shareholders and partners.” Whether or not the Forza Horizon 5 player will appeal the ban remains to be seen, but as of now, it looks like their time at the wheel is over.

Forza Horizon 5 player is dominating races with crazy truck build MicrosoftForza Horizon 5 tends to lean more into realistic racing, but a player-created Unimog build surprisingly dominates races. Forza Horizon 5 has a feature that allows players to customize vehicles to their specific liking. Racers can design paint schemes and vehicle designs with the Livery system or tune a vehicle to behave differently in races. After tuning vehicles or redesigning them, players can upload their creations for other users to download. Unfortunately, not all designs are winners, as an artist was roasted for their “incredibly lazy vehicle design.” A Forza creator decided on a whim to tune a Unimog and mistakingly discovered a potential racing gem. Forza Horizon 5 player customizes overpowered Unimog A Forza Horizon player shared a video of their Unimog build, reaching just under 120 miles per hour in straightaways and easily maneuvering tight turns. The creator said, “this truck may never see an online race, but I’m surprised by its pace on the track.” Sharing some insight into its construction, the creator said they dropped the ride height to its lowest setting and then slightly stiffened the suspension. The Mercedes-Benz Unimog was designed more as a utility vehicle than a racing machine, but one player applied the perfect touch to transform it. One user responded, “I love the Unimog; it’s a monster! If you use it online, others will struggle to get past you! A second racer added, “Well done on taking the body roll (mostly) out of it. Every tune I found previously had it bouncing everywhere.” Players uniformly praised the vehicle, as one user said, “I love driving the Unimog. I’m thinking of a monster dirt/cc blueprint for it.” You can try this truck out for yourself by entering the tune code 115 818 051.

Forza Horizon 5 player hits peak nostalgia by recreating iconic FH1 video via lusca do fusca YouTubeA Forza Horizon 5 player managed to recreate the title sequence for FH1 that hit a nostalgic note with the larger community for its incredible accuracy. The great big sandbox of FH5 gave players ways to roam its map of Mexico like never before in the series. The leap Playground Games took with its latest iteration made some players want to look back at Horizon’s roots. But you don’t have to be too far removed from Horizon 5 to appreciate the franchise’s humble beginnings, as one fan proved with their edit of the first game’s start menu sequence. The footage was captured with gameplay clips from FH5 that added an extra bit of novelty to the tribute by seeing how far the franchise has come. Fan ‘lusca_do_fusca’ remade the Forza Horizon 1 start menu video in the series’ latest game and immediately popped off with the community. “I tried to recreate the Forza Horizon 1 start menu the best as I could do, almost an entire day to finish it,” they said. Read more: Forza Horizon 5’s Horizon World Cup update – The faithful edit turned heads in the Forza community and is getting a ton of traction with players who miss the good ol’ days of the series. “Man, thank you for the nostalgia,” one player said. “I miss this game so much… It had everything! Great music, more motivating gameplay! It was awesome feeling like the underdog.” (Relevant section from 0:00 to 0:54 for mobile viewers) Even more, players were sharing their stories of when they entered the FH series, each complementing the spirit of lusca’s video. The moment wasn’t lost on the Redditor who saw everyone’s reactions to his clip. FH1 still holds a special place with a lot of people, and it’s clear that the Forza Horizon 5 edit gave the game its due with some updated visuals.

Forza Horizon 5 player breaks 13.5m with insane skill chain but there’s a catch Playground GamesA Forza Horizon 5 players banked a skill chain score of over 13 million but the insane achievement was underlined by the max points players can earn per trick. Veteran Forza players can keep skill chains alive with a few tricks that often has the tally going to astronomical figures. Redditor ‘PoutineMagnet’ shared a clip of the aftermath from their drift that earned them a whopping total of 13,585,500. But Playground Games have a long-standing cap to how many skill points people can reap as a reward for these types of tricks. With a score of over a dozen million, the Forza driver only gets to take home 10 skill points for his troubles. “Best I can give you is 10 points,” one player joked in response to the clip. While it’s an impressive feat, Forza Horizon players just don’t get their due when it comes to cashing in skill chains. “Heres 10 skill points for making your thumbs bleed,” PoutineMagnet said. The player was joining more in the Forza community about the lackluster cash-in, despite drifting long enough to reach 1.3 mill (before the x10 multiplier). By taking the Formula Drift M2 to the Festival Drag Strip, the player spent about half an hour to get their streak up to the seven-digit mark before it skyrocketed after ending the chain. Read more: Forza Horizon 5’s Horizon World Cup update – “I was screwing around and then I thought ahh screw it another 100k,” the player said. “Then it turned into another, [then] another, [then] tanother until I was sick of it and didn’t want to lose the points thinking I’d get like a 130 [skill points]. Nope.” Forza rewards one skill point for every 50,000 chain score, making 500,000 the max score you can get that will go toward earning a point. Because of the 10 skill point cap, players could only calculate how many points a drift like this would be able to dish out. It doesn’t seem likely that Playground Games would drop the cap for FH5 players to cash in hundreds of skill points. But that doesn’t mean the community won’t still try to drift and barrel roll their way to eight-figure (or more?) chains in the game.

Forza Horizon 5 player allegedly banned for recreating NELK Boys’ seltzer logo Microsoft/YouTube: NELKA Forza Horizon 5 player has allegedly been banned from the game after re-creating the Nelk Boys’ “Happy Dad” seltzer logo in the game. Forza Horizon 5 launched on November 9 with many reviewers giving it high scores. However, the game hasn’t been entirely perfect, boasting multiple glitches and exploits—some of which provided cheaters with near-infinite money. Another big issue that’s come to light since the release is the game’s language filter. First, players were furious that they couldn’t use their real name on their license plate, and now a player has allegedly been banned for re-creating the NELK Boys’ “Happy Dad” seltzer logo on his car’s livery. Forza player banned for creating NELK boys seltzer logo On November 23, u/ViralHQ took to Reddit to inform them about his recent ban on the latest Forza release. He said: “So apparently I got banned today for re-creating The NELK ‘Happy Dad’ hard seltzer drink Logo… SMH.” Read More: Forza Horizon 5 treasure chest locations – Other fans of the game instantly became furious after reading Viral’s post, as there are other similar liveries available in the game. In another reply, the idea of it being possible copyright infringement was brought up. It reads: “Ok this is walking in copyright/trademark territory in truth, other similar known logos are historical brands, reproducing historical trademarks in context is actually completely legal.” Just a couple of hours after posting, ViralHQ provided a few updates regarding his ban. He stated that his ban was labeled as “Disruptive – Illegal drugs or controlled substances,” while his second update explained that two of his support tickets were closed without any response. Comment byu/ViralHQ from discussion inForzaHorizon To make things worse, the player claims that even though he has been banned for creating the logo, it’s still available in-game and has been reported, giving him a strike towards making his ban longer. While the well-received game has been met with its fair share of issues, it always could be worse.

Forza Horizon 5 Parking Ticket challenge guide: All bike locations Playground GamesForza Horizon 5’s Parking Ticket challenge has proven to be a bit of a nuisance for some players. While knocking over stationary bicycles might not sound that hard, finding them in the first place is where the real difficulty lies. We’ve compiled a list of all the easiest bike locations to access to make things a bit easier on you. The daily challenges in FH 5 are typically easy events with minimal rewards that can be done in a matter of minutes. There are a few that force players to put in a bit more welcome though and the Parking Ticket daily is at the top of that list. For only 10 FP and a Challenge Point, this undertaking is not one that can just be brushed to the side unless you know exactly What is the Parking Ticket daily challenge? The Parking Ticket daily challenge requires players to smash 25 bikes around the city of Guanajuato. While the wording doesn’t make it completely clear, only bicycles count toward this challenge so knocking over motorcycles won’t count toward your progress All bike locations in Forza Horizon 5 There are several places to find bikes for this daily challenge, but they’re not immediately easy to spot. A good number of them are scattered around the north of the city, with the two northern-most roads holding more than ten bicycles between them. If those aren’t enough to complete your list, the park in Guanajuato is also filled with bikes and fast traveling to-and-from the area will cause them to reset, creating an infinite supply for you to bowl over. It should only take two or three trips to the park to complete the challenge from start to finish, and after that, you can move on to something beefier, like hunting down all the Barn Finds across the map.

Forza Horizon 5 launch smashes Xbox record on first day Xbox Game StudiosThe Forza Horizon 5 launch is already breaking records boasting the highest player count Xbox Game Studios history. Every Forza Horizon launch tends to be bigger than the last with Forza Horizon 4 absolutely crushing it when it was released in 2018. Now it looks like Microsoft’s trip south of the border in Forza Horizon 5 is also enjoying overwhelming success. Head of Xbox and regular spokesperson Phil Spencer said that the game has already exceeded 4.5 million active players on all platforms. That’s an impressive number less than 24 hours on from launch. Phil Spencer’s Forza Horizon 5 launch tweet Spencer revealed the figures on Twitter, noting that Horizon 5 represents the “largest launch day” ever for an Xbox Game Studios game. He went on to say that the game has surpassed Forza Horizon 4’s launch by three times the player count, and congratulated Playground Games for their efforts. We’ve invested for years in Xbox so more people can play. With 4.5+ million players so far across PC, cloud & console, Forza Horizon 5 shows that promise coming to life. Largest launch day for XGS game, peak concurrent 3x FH4 high. Thank you players & congrats to @WeArePlayground — Phil Spencer (@XboxP3) November 10, 2021 Why has Horizon 5 been so successful? A rise in Xbox Game Pass subscriptions may account for the impressive launch figures. Subscriptions to Microsoft’s service have soared since the release of Forza Horizon 4. This could be due to an increase in games added to the platform as well as the launch of the next-gen Xbox consoles last year. Read More: Is Forza Horizon 5 on Xbox Game Pass? – Before it launched on November 9, 2021, Forza Horizon 5 already boasted a player count of over 800,000 thanks to players jumping into the game’s early access. The fact that the headstart was tied to purchases of the game’s more expensive digital versions suggests that Forza Horizon 5 has seen plenty of sales, despite also launching Playground Games’ next project is a reboot of the beloved Xbox RPG franchise Fable.

Forza Horizon 5 “incredibly lazy” vehicle design is getting roasted MicrosoftIf you need your car customized in Forza Horizon 5, user ‘Legend Painter’ may not be the right creator for the job based on community feedback. Forza Horizon 5’s Livery system allows players to create and share their custom vehicle paint jobs. Some players are more creative than others, resulting in mixed final products. The Forza community will be the first to call someone out for laziness, whether with game glitches or weak Livery designs. In the past, players ridiculed a “stolen” photo mode glitch and roasted a surprise gift sent by developers. This time around, racers criticized a painter for releasing a minimal-effort Livery design. Forza players call out lazy vehicle design A Reddit user created a thread, calling out “Legend Painter” for their Blackout paint design. It appears all the user did was swap paint colors and release it. Players quickly judged the user’s design and blamed Forza’s Livery system for promoting weak designs. One user jokingly responded, “the fact that his “design” is also the least amount of effort one could possibly put in makes this so much better.” Several users criticized the Livery system for allowing players to easily get downloads even if their design isn’t creative. A second racer added, “You don’t even need effort in painting to get loads of downloads. All you need to do is upload a design when the “recent liveries” section.” Disappointed by the artist reaching legendary status, a third user argued, “people seem to be incredibly lazy when it comes to car painting. There’s just nothing legendary about it.” Art is in the eye of the beholder, but in this case, Forza players feel differently.

Forza Horizon 5: How to complete ‘H’ Marks the Spot Treasure Hunt Playground GamesThe latest Treasure Hunt in Forza Horizon 5, entitled ‘H’ Marks the Spot, requires players to follow trails and keep their eyes peeled for large balloons. Traditionally, the Forza Horizon 5 development team releases new Treasure Hunts that when completed, will yield rewards like CR and points toward the Weekly Playlist.

Crazy Forza Horizon 5 glitch completely breaks Hot Wheels DLC Xbox, MattelA weird glitch in Forza Horizon 5 dropped a player out of the Hot Wheels DLC map and down to the base game’s Mexico locale. Forza Horizon 5’s Hot Wheels expansion launched earlier this summer on July 19, adding 10 new cars to the high-octane racing experience. These additions included the likes of the 2018 Chevrolet Hot Wheels COPO Camaro, 2000 Hot Wheels Deora II, and the 2021 Hennessey Venom F5. Suffice it to say, the $20 add-on pack gave racers plenty to sink their teeth into. The expansion also introduced players to the Horizon Hot Wheels Park, a map set in the clouds floating above Forza Horizon 5’s Mexico map. All that glitters isn’t gold, though. Weird Hot Wheels DLC glitch appears in Forza Horizon 5 While the Horizon Hot Wheels Park track provides excellent scenery, Wolfslash16 recently encountered an error that completely ruins the immersion. According to the player, a glitch involving Forza Horizon 5’s rewind feature caused them to drop out of the Hot Wheels-themed map. The following video shows the user falling in midair for about 30 seconds before hitting the Mexico map, then falling through it to boot. What causes this particular Hot Wheels DLC bug remains unknown, but this isn’t the first time that players have reported issues with Forza Horizon 5’s rewind option. In December 2021, users on the Forza Community Forums mentioned an inability to rewind more than once. A few weeks later, someone on Reddit claimed the feature didn’t function as intended on console. It would seem, then, those rewind-related glitches continue to plague the latest Forza Horizon entry. Hopefully, trouble in the Hot Wheels expansion won’t prove too widespread since falling through the play areas is less than ideal. Forza Horizon 5 is out now on PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S platforms.

Forza Horizon 5 glitch shows “blatant” cheating from AI drivers Playground GamesForza Horizon 5’s A.I. drivers have been accused of cheating in races after new shocking footage emerged, revealing how they catch up to frontrunners so fast. There is a wide variety of fast cars to choose from in the newest installment of the series, but there’s nothing on the market that has the ability to phase through mountains to potentially win races. Oddly enough, those same rules don’t apply for the drivatars that fill up each circuit in the game. Shocking new footage has emerged that suggests a bug that previously plagued Forza Motorsport 7 has returned, making races much harder to win if you’re not on your A-game. Forza Horizon 5 glitch shows AI drivers cutting corners Think about it: when you’re driving around and leading a race, you don’t have time to look in the rearview mirror the whole time to see what other AI drivers are doing. However, one player has taken the time to investigate and it doesn’t look great for Playground Games. As seen in a Reddit clip below, from user Spunky036, in one offroad track the drivatars can be seen phasing right through the mountain to close the gap between them and the leader. They said: “You can not tell me the A.I. doesn’t cheat after seeing this…” Players react One player replied: “That explains how the drivatars were able to catch up so quick. I thought something was going on, figured it was some sort of rubber banding.” Another said: “This was also the case in Motorsport 7, it was ridiculous at launch. If you raced an F1 car against E-class cars you got to see the world’s biggest sh**show, however. Luckily they patched it out, and it’s (almost) nonexistent.” “This is disappointingly blatant, too.” Whether or not this is something on the dev team’s radar remains to be seen, but clearly, it calls into question the integrity of some races players go on to lose. If you have been affected, be sure to reply to the thread on Reddit and raise awareness.

Forza Horizon 5 future updates will not fix convertible problem Xbox/Playground GamesForza Horizon 5 developers have announced that they will not fix the game’s issue with certain convertible cars not allowing you to put the top down, despite other cars allowing it. Playground Games released Forza Horizon 5 on November 9, 2021, to high ratings from reviewers across the board. However, as the player base grew for the game, more and more reports of server instability and bugs were released. The developers have worked on fixing quite a few issues that players have reported, however, not every issue will be taken care of. The Forza Horizon 5 support team updated the list of known issues with the game on January 12 and included a list of what they have no plans on fixing. One of those issues is with convertible tops on certain cars, as some of them do not allow you to put them down despite other cars having the feature. Forza Horizon 5 convertible issue When Forza Horizon 5 launched, it became the first game in the series that allowed players to remove the top on convertible cars. However, it was quickly met with a bug that prevented fans from doing it on certain cars. As of January 10, 2022, Playground Games has added the feature to the “Won’t fix or by Design” section of their known issues list. It reads: “Cars – Convertible feature does not work in free roam for some cars such as the Honda S2000, Mazda mx5 2016, Mazda mx5 2013, and Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG“ Without these cars working as intended, it leaves the game with just four convertibles that allow you to remove the top. Those four cars include the Ferrari Portofino, Mercedes AMG One, Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster, and the Mclaren z20s spider. In a discussion about the issue on the game’s subreddit, fans are confused as to why the developers are ignoring the issue. They also mention that the animation for all of the affected cars is available in ForzaVista, and don’t understand why it’s not in free roam. One user argued: “Playground games need to step it up, but it isn’t the Devs fault, it’s management.”

Forza Horizon 5 devs roasted over World Cup rewards: “Already in the game!” Playground GamesForza Horizon 5 developers Playground Games got roasted after it announced the World Cup rewards which made fans mad that the prize was already available to buy in-game. Playground Games revealed the next month-long series on January 31, with several new cars and a unique “World Cup” competition. Set to take place throughout all four weeks of the newest series, the Horizon World Cup competition allows players to compete for their favorite country by using a car made in that area. As players complete Festival Playlist events, they earn points for that country. With Japan currently in the lead, they revealed what players would receive if they win — a 1996 Nissan GTR LM — and fans are roasting the developers for giving away a car that’s already available. It’s time to reveal some rewards! If Japan can hold its current lead in the #HorizonWorldCup, players will receive the 1996 @Nissan GT-R LM. pic.twitter.com/0RJugzFPWs — Forza Horizon (@ForzaHorizon) February 15, 2022 Fans roast Forza devs over World Cup rewards Minutes after the official Forza Twitter account released the reward, fans took to the replies as well as the game’s subreddit to express their thoughts. Many people echoed the same disappointment — with some wishing that they would release a new car into the game for the reward instead despite the version available in-game is the 1995 GTR LM, while the reward is the 1996 model. Reddit user WildVooDooMagic said the reward was “dumb” and “feels super low effort.” While another Redditor even gave recommendations on what he would like to see as the reward instead. “Japan: GR Yaris 2021 USA: 2021 Ford Mach E (I don’t call it a Mustang ) Germany: 2020 Mercedes AMG a45 S France: 2018 Peugeot 308 GTI UK: 2021 Aston Martin DBX” YouTuber Ar12Gaming went as far as replying with a recording of himself browsing the in-game auto show, seconds before buying several of the reward cars and gifting them to random users in-game. He said: “Helping the devs one step at a time.” At the time of writing, Playground Games has yet to respond to anyone’s disappointment in the new reward. If they do, however, we’ll be sure to update. In the meantime, head over to our hub for more Forza-related updates and community news.

Forza Horizon 5 devs respond as update freezes game on Steam XboxAfter Forza Horizon 5 players reported issues following the latest update, the developers have provided a solution. When racing game Forza Horizon 5 released in 2021, it did so to critical acclaim, with many sites (including Dexerto) praising the title for its incredible graphics and maps. In the year since, players have spent hours speeding through the vistas of Australia, Britain, and Mexico. Several have even used the game to recreate iconic images from past racing games like Need for Speed. The latest update for Forza Horizon 5 has slammed the emergency brake on all this fun. Players report freeze issues after latest Forza Horizon 5 update Forza released a patch that went live on November 8, and was intended to add content along with the start of Series 14. However, many players including Redditor ritten9 have reported issues with Forza Horizon 5 after loading the latest patch. It seems that, after the update is downloaded, players are getting stuck in a loop of not being able to get past the initial launcher. Forza developers respond with fix Luckily for ritten9 and all those other Forza players who are eager to get back behind the wheel, the developers Playground Games responded with a fix for players affected by this issue. According to PG_Alien, a member of the Playground Games team, a new version of the client is available to download and should resolve this launch issue. Players who are experiencing this freezing issue should download this new version of the client.

Forza Horizon 5 devs flamed for ban decision on player’s “sexual” design Xbox/Playground GamesForza Horizon 5 developers, Playground Games, are being flamed on Reddit after they issued a 7-day ban for a player’s “sexual” design. One of the most popular aspects of the Forza Horizon series is the ability to create your own decals for your favorite cars called “liveries.” Players can even publish their favorite designs for others in the game to download. Players have been met with various punishments after the game automatic filter flagged their design as inappropriate. Players have been banned for as long as 8,000 years due to the design that they created. However, sometimes the game issues a ban due to”sexual” content, despite the content not actually breaking any rules. That’s the case for Reddit user sean_m_curry who received a 7-day ban for his “sexual” design despite it not breaking rules. Forza Horizon 5 developers flamed for ban decision Posted on January 12, The Reddit user said: “They’re really reaching here on the bans. 7 days and they claim it’s sexual.” The image that the user was allegedly banned for showcases a large “caution” sign alongside two characters and a message signifying that the design is to “caution” people about the “chick magnet.” It reads: “You are in the presence of a strong magnetic field which may affect the operation of pacemakers.” After it was posted to the game’s subreddit, users began to flame the developers as they also believe there is nothing in the image worthy of being banned. They did, however, joke that the magnet in the image mimicked a phallic shape. Many more decided to share their own ban story with the Redditor. It’s unknown if Playground Games will ever look into fixing what causes these types of bans, but hopefully, they find a way to be more transparent when they punish creators.

Forza Horizon 5 custom map change takes players from Mexico to Japan Microsoft / PixabayForza Horizon 5’s Mexico map has been a hit with players right across the world, but what if there was a way to get to Japan? The game was released on November 9 to critical acclaim, and on December 9 the developers scooped an award at The Game Awards for their accessibility features. A number of in-game updates have been rolled out since launch, as well as plans being released for Series 2 and Series 3 with a load of new vehicles coming. But nothing even compares to the custom map changes one member of the community has put together. Forza Horizon 5 concept adds Japan map extension In a Reddit post, which has eclipsed 3,900 upvotes since it was posted on December 10, user onablueplanet has put together a concept for a custom touge route that leads straight to Japan. While it might sound unrealistic to have a pathway between the two countries people can drive down, that’s the nature of Horizon DLC content for the most part. Even the series’ map designs are squeezed together versions of countries. They said: “After 18+ Hours and a blue screen, I’ve created a custom touge route that transports you from Mexico to Japan.” Included in the post are a few screenshots, showing players how it would work – and how they can download it themselves with share codes. The post has been met with huge support from the Forza community, most of whom cannot wait to see what map expansions Playground Games has in store for Horizon 5. One said: “This is what event lab should be, not place with a bunch of afk things,” while a second user added: “This looks neat. Will give it a spin today!” Another said: “Keep up the amazing work!” Forza Horizon 5 Japan touge share codes If you would like to get involved and play this race track for yourself, all you have to do is use a share code. These are as follows: Midnight: 140518567 – Dawn: 105802158 – Day: 631046887 – Rain: 124145659 – This is just the latest insane creation to come out of the Forza Horizon 5 subreddit, where fans come together to share their latest projects, tips, and post news.

Forza Horizon 5 creator reveals how much you can make from downloads Playground GamesA top Forza Horizon 5 creator has revealed the crazy number of in-game credits they received daily for downloads – before the devs capped it. Forza Horizon 5 allows players to become creators, making their own liveries, car tunes, and other customizable options. Players can then upload their creations for others to download and use in their own games. Each time this happens, that creator is rewarded with credits for their work in the game. Of course, the best and most popular creations bring in the most credits. The more an item is downloaded, the more credits its creator will receive. Therefore, the most impressive creators soon become very rich in the world of Forza Horizon. How much do top Forza Horizon creators earn? Creator @DonJoewonSong has revealed on Twitter what he makes in a day from his designs. However, this number has been drastically reduced since the developers introduced a credits cap, preventing creators from earning ridiculous sums of money. Before the cap, Don claimed to earn around 250 million credits a day. Although now he only earns between 10-15 million each day. Yet even after the cap, this is a near-infinite supply of credits. Read More: Fastest cars in FH5 – By his own admission, 10-15 million “is much better” as no player can feasibly spend 250 million credits. Even Don’s current daily earnings are enough for him to afford any car or property in the game, meaning he still has more credits than he’ll know what to do with. Before they added the cap limit (Which they recently added last week) I’d usually get around 250 Million CR per day. Now it’s 10-15 Million which is much better IMO— Don Joewon Song (@DonJoewonSong) November 22, 2021 Forza Horizon community response Other Reddit users also pointed out how ridiculous the amount is, saying, “What can you even do with that much virtual currency? After [buying] the houses, I kind of don’t have much use for it.” Some other players revealed they are in a similar situation and have just started gifting cars to other players to use up some of their wealth.

It does give me the feels since I found out regardless of whether it’s still in your garage, or not, it’s still ticked off your list, I’ve been gifting most things.” The earnings may appear more sensible after the cap, but after earning several million in-game credits in Forza Horizon 5 a day, there isn’t much the player can’t accomplish.

Forza Horizon 5 creates epic Pokemon decals & explains how to do it The Pokemon Company/Playground GamesForza Horizon 5’s livery system has churned out some impressive designs already but this Pokemon decal is so good that players are having a hard time believing that it’s even real. It’s not often that a singular piece of art transforms how someone views an entire game but that’s exactly what has happened with a new Pokemon-inspired decal in Forza Horizon 5. While there have been loads of impressive decals in the game so far, this one sets the standard for what can be achieved in the game’s custom design workshop and it’s got the community desperate to figure out how it was done. Epic Pokemon decal in Forza Horizon 5 The livery in question features a painstakingly accurate Charizard on the body of the car, Reddotpr ‘mawrTRON’ showed off their design via a step-by-step timelapse that shows how the entire piece was constructed. It was hard for some players to believe that this kind of art was even real, with one user commenting: “Before I saw this, I thought people just modded those vinyl groups into the game somehow.” When discussing the technique that goes into creating something like this, u/Adolfo42 explained that third-party software is often a big help in making detailed art like this: “People on PC (including myself) use glass2k. It allows you to make any window (in this case the game, windowed) transparent.” This kind of transparent window allows players to overlay the game client with any reference of their choosing, making it much easier to get the general shape of an object exactly right. Another user offered up that even Xbox players can theoretically take advantage of this with the right setup: “When I was on Xbox, I screencast my Xbox screen to my laptop, and did it that way. Now I’m on PC it’s way easier. I also find identical logos in the storefront, and just trace them.” While the sharecode for this design is shown off in the video, users should be careful about taking this one online. Those 8000-year bans are still being handed out and copyrighted images could put you directly in the game’s crosshairs.
