The Festival Lives On Forza Horizon 5 doesn’t just open with a bang; it invites you to a vibrant symphony of speed, sound, and stunning landscapes. Set in a meticulously crafted Mexico, this isn’t just a new map—it’s an adventure that feels alive with its towering volcanoes, dense jungles, and sleepy desert towns. But it’s more than just a geographical upgrade; it’s an evolution of everything Playground Games has been perfecting for years. As someone who’s lived for the pulse-pounding thrill of Forza Horizon 4 ’s competitive online races, Horizon 5 is a revelation. It still gets your heart racing, but this time, it does so while making room for players to experiment, create, and connect without the stress of ranked leaderboards looming over your head.
