A fresh update for Forza Horizon 5 for a new month. With its most recent content update, everyone’s favorite open-world racing game is celebrating the holidays. Players may now play the game on their Windows PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and numerous Xbox Game Pass services. Dubbed “Winter Wonderland,” the update expands your garage with an additional optional vehicle pack DLC, loads of new automobiles, and both new and returning features. Let’s get right to it. Forza.net has all the details on the corrections and improvements included in this version, but I’ve outlined the main features here for your convenience.
The return of Santa Claus is coming
Forza Horizon 5 is bringing back Secret Santa, a feature that encourages players to give each other automobiles as gifts in the spirit of the holidays. Every automobile that is presented will now be included in the community-wide giving total. At the 50% and 100% target milestones, there’s a prize automobile up for grabs; the latter is kept a secret until that goal is reached.
A transformation for winter
Mexico will be enveloped in winter clouds for the duration of the Winter Wonderland Festival Playlist. Unfortunately, since Mexico isn’t very different in the winter, this doesn’t really matter in FH5. But the Stadium is receiving a major facelift, complete with a new snow-filled circuit and holiday décor.
- Race at the brand-new stadium with a winter theme to win new accolades.
- Additionally, there are new badges and accolades for collecting cars.
- Discover fresh Christmas décor all across the FH5 map.
- Witness the powerful Snowman collectible’s much-anticipated comeback.
Forzathon Shop occasion
The Forzathon Shop is growing with unique offers on highly sought-after cars for the duration of Winter Wonderland. Players can buy one car every week to give to another player.
Fresh props from EventLab
The ever-impressive EventLab 2.0 in Forza Horizon 5 is growing with additional objects, including new obstacles, curbs, brake markers, and decorations. There are also holiday decorations provided.
