We are off to four weeks of racing with Horizon Track Day.
Four modern Porsches line up as this month’s weekly reward cars. Earn Festival Playlist points and complete different challenges to unlock them all and go for a race on the different events going around the Horizon Festival.
The largest EventLab prop pack we’ve ever made is also arriving, featuring different elements of a game series that’s out of this world. Save the human race (no pun intended) from extinction with the 71 props from the Halo universe coming to Forza Horizon 5 this month.
Get ready to run around the Oval Track once more as this timed feature returns to the Stadium for the duration of this update. Joining the roster of returning features, we are bringing back the Helmet Piñata Collectible!
Get your car to the starting line and make that engine roar on Horizon Track Day!
