Join a Thrilling Game of Chase with Hide & Seek
Forza Horizon 5 welcomes Hide & Seek, its newest multiplayer experience. In this brand-new game mode, a group of six players will take part in a game of chases taking on one of two roles.
Hiders are tasked with remaining hidden from their opponents until the End Zone (the location the Hider needs to reach) is revealed. After the End Zone has been disclosed, the Hider will have to reach it before time runs out and before Seekers build enough points to take the win.
On the other hand, Seekers will be tasked with finding and staying close to the Hider. Doing so will earn them points to complete the Seeker’s Detection Meter. Seekers must complete their bar before time runs out and before the Hider reaches the End Zone to put the win under their belt.
Hide & Seek will have its own in-game progression system through which players will be able to earn badges and complete accolades unique to Hide & Seek.

Forza Presents a New Game Mode for Forza Horizon 5 and Reveals New Partnership
We are thrilled to be on the floor at Gamescom 2024 with a sneak peek of what we’ve got in store for Forza Horizon 5—and it’s all coming next month!
A brand-new multiplayer game mode inspired by our community and their creations comes into Forza Horizon 5 for you to enjoy with 5 friends.
From the hoops to Forza’s tracks and roads, our latest partnership brings a custom muscle classic and a new racing suit.
All Gas. And Brakes.
The court and the road come together for the Jordan Luka 3 collab in Forza.
Check out the custom Luka 3 ‘Motorsport’ inspired 1969 Chevrolet Camaro coming to you this September on Forza Horizon 5. This exciting new collab car will be sent to players via the Gifts tab in the in-game Message Center this September.
Find the New Game Mode Coming to Forza Horizon 5!
The entire Forza Horizon 5 team is excited to announce the new game mode coming to the Horizon Festival: Hide & Seek.
In this new game mode, one of two possible roles will be assigned to players at random:
Hiders.
The Hider will be tasked with getting to a location in a set amount of time without getting caught by the team of Seekers.
Sneak past Seekers by blending into the traffic and hiding within the environment to reach your destination before the time runs out or Seekers gather enough points to win!
As a Hider, you will be able to drive the following cars:
2012 Jeep Wrangler
2017 Ford F-150 Raptor
2017 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2
2018 Mercedes X Class
Seekers.
5 players will take on the role of Seekers whose main objective is to find and stay close to the Hider. By finding and staying close to their opponent, Seekers will start filling the Seeker’s Detection Meter. If your team completes it, you will win the round!
Make the most out of the high-spec rental car that will be assigned to you to complete your mission. The vehicles available for Seekers are:
2016 BMW M4 GTS
2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1
2011 Mercedes SLS AMG
2015 Audi RS6
2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X GSR
2021 Ford Bronco
All playable cars for both Hiders and Seekers will only be available on their stock version, so liveries, tunes, and builds will not be available to play.
How to Play.
The game is split into two phases, each with a 4-minute duration.
In the first phase, the Hider will have to remain undercover while Seekers make their best effort to locate them before this phase ends and lock on their position to fill the Seeker’s Detection Meter and ensure the win.
During the second phase, a randomly spawned End Zone becomes active. The Seekers have 4 minutes to detect the Hider before they reach the End Zone. The time is ticking, remain shrouded as much as you can to avoid the Seekers or use your tools to find the Hider and fill the Detection bar!
Power-ups.
Both Seekers and the Hider will have special powers available to help them complete their objectives.
The Seekers' Radar points to the approximate location of the Hider. Once they have found their target, they can use their Ping ability to lock onto their exact location and show it on the map (for 20 seconds) for the rest of the team to follow.
The Hider's ability is called Chase Breaker: when activated, Hiders can force-brake the Seekers and turn off their Radar and Ping for 20 seconds. Chase Breaker will also ghost your car, meaning you will become transparent and able to pass through any smashable object in the game.
Be careful when using your abilities! They have a cooldown period, so you don’t want to be caught empty at the wrong time; manage your resources properly and secure your win.
Matchmaking. Once Hide & Seek becomes available to play, a new location will be added to your map to enter this new game mode. You will also be able to access games through the Online page of the main menu. You will be able to join games alone and matchmake with other players in the community or join as a convoy leader and play with your friends.
Rewards. Besides being a fun new game mode to try, there are other perks that come when completing sessions of Hide & Seek.
First, Hide & Seek will have its own separate progression track. You will be able to earn XP exclusive for this game mode by completing games. Leveling up will earn you new badges when you reach certain thresholds.
If you play this game mode frequently, you will build a play streak. When you do, bonus XP will be earned with every completed game, allowing you to level up faster.
Finally, new accolades tied to Hide & Seek will be added to the game for players to unlock while discovering this new multiplayer experience! A set of achievements will be released in a future update in October.
Hide & Seek will be available when the Hidden Horizons series goes live on September 10; we hope you enjoy queuing up for games in this new mode or joining with your friends as a convoy!
Customize this Hot Hatch Coming to Forza Horizon 5 this Week!
New face, same driving sensation, the 2022 Ford Focus ST is this week’s 20 PTS Reward Car.
A new hood, badge placement, and front grill start this car’s highlights, then we move to what’s inside: a 2.3-liter turbocharged engine that creates 276 bhp.
However, what we are all looking for when getting inside of a Focus, is the driving experience; of course, the 2022 model does not disappoint, pairing a great engine with larger wheels and sports suspension makes your everyday runs feel like timed laps on a circuit.
Unlock this car and create a unique version of this car with the available seven body parts including 2 front bumpers, a rear wing, 2 rear bumpers, a side skirt, and hood.
If you have any suggestions to make the Forza Horizon 5 experience better than it has been, visit our Suggestions Hub and let us know! Contact the team on the Troubleshooting Hub if you see any issues with this new update or its features.

Coming to your Garage this Month!
2022 Ford Focus ST
Earn 20 PTS during Week 1 “Summer” Season on the High-Performance Dailies Festival Playlist. Available from August 15 until August 22
This version of the Focus ST got a facelift done to it, having its badge displayed on top of a new grill underneath a renovated hood. The intakes are positioned differently, and overall, this new look is quite satisfying for a car meant to be driven every day.
However, the best part of a Focus since the beginning of time is the way it drives. Fitted with a 2.3-liter turbocharged engine that nets 276 bhp will take you from 0-100 kmh in 5.5 seconds. In addition to that great engine, the superb driving of the ST makes your everyday rides feel like you are completing a racing circuit.
2023 Toyota Camry TRD
Earn 20 PTS during Week 2 “Autumn” Season on the High-Performance Dailies Festival Playlist. Available from August 22 until August 29
In the history of motorsport, only three letters can take a car from regular jJoe to track superstar; and that is the case with the 20 PTS reward available during the Autumn Season on High-Performance Dailies. Take a spin around the new circuits available this series on the 2023 Toyota Camry TRD.
Designed to take the Camry into a newer and sportier horizon, the TRD was fitted with an all-new suspension for more precise handling and body control. A front splitter, side aero skirts, a rear diffuser, and a rear spoiler were added to its kit to maximize aerodynamics and reduce drag.
Completing the performance package in this car, a 3.5-liter V6 engine sits snugly underneath this car’s hood, and taking a close look at the wheels will reveal the new sports brakes added to the car.
2023 Ford Fiesta ST
Earn 20 PTS during Week 3 “Winter” Season on the High-Performance Dailies Festival Playlist. Available from August 29 until September 5
The final version of the 2023 Ford Fiesta ST sprints into the Horizon Festival. To wave goodbye to entire generations of fans, Ford has produced a street racer that may look small but has charmed the masses with its amazing handling.
The Fiesta ST is fitted with a 1.5 Ecoboost turbocharged engine that produces 197 bhp and 236 lb-ft of torque: a racing experience that is as economical as it is thrilling.
Of course, the main feature of every Fiesta (and especially the ST) is its agility, made possible by its softer steering and a new suspension.
One of the UK’s favorites runs into Mexico to win new fans and a ton of races. Have a go at the multiple customization pieces available for the car as you unlock it!
2021 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat
Earn 20 PTS during Week 4 “Spring” Season on the High-Performance Dailies Festival Playlist. Available from September 5 until September 12
Close this daily-drive-party with a performance SUV branded with the Hellcat badge: the 2021 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat.
A 6.2-liter V8 engine powers this performance SUV and produces a whopping 710 brake horsepower making this the most powerful car ever produced in its category at the time. The Durango’s massive power can be put to the test in a race as the car breaks the 100 kmh barrier in just 3.5 seconds --or by towing, since it can hold up to 8,700 pounds (about 3946.25 kg).
Bembo brakes, shocks, and wide tires tame the power of this performance SUV and translate it into excellent handling.
Overall, the Durango Hellcat gives a muscle-like experience to share with an entire family.
