Forza Horizon 5 devs roasted over World Cup rewards: \u201cAlready in the game!\u201d 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 \u201cWorld Cup\u201d 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 \u2014 a 1996 Nissan GTR LM \u2014 and fans are roasting the developers for giving away a car that\u2019s 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 \u2014 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\u2019s subreddit to express their thoughts. Many people echoed the same disappointment \u2014 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 \u201cdumb\u201d and \u201cfeels super low effort.\u201d While another Redditor even gave recommendations on what he would like to see as the reward instead. \u201cJapan: GR Yaris 2021 USA: 2021 Ford Mach E (I don\u2019t call it a Mustang ) Germany: 2020 Mercedes AMG a45 S France: 2018 Peugeot 308 GTI UK: 2021 Aston Martin DBX\u201d 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: \u201cHelping the devs one step at a time.\u201d At the time of writing, Playground Games has yet to respond to anyone\u2019s disappointment in the new reward. If they do, however, we\u2019ll be sure to update. In the meantime, head over to our hub for more Forza-related updates and community news.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
