Explore the Horizon features the return of eight Seasonal PR Stunts with four Danger Signs; Ranas Saltarinas, San Juan Jump, Salto De Rio, and Metal Bird, as well as four Trailblazers; River Rapids, Cruse De Granja, Festival Descend, and Jungle Traversal. These are visible on the map with a unique purple and blue hue icon. You’ll have to drive fast to get 3 stars in all of them as they’ll only be available until the end of the series.
There’s a new Showcase Remix available in the Summer “Wet” season – the “Splash of the Titans” event features the all-new 2019 DeBerti Ford Super Duty F-250 Lariat ‘Transformer’ racing a competitive team of jet skis. This Showcase Remix is only unlocked once the “Flood, Sweat and Gears” event (which is the standard version of this Showcase) is complete.
New cosmetics available in Explore the Horizon include 3 Car Horns: Raptor Rawr, Reaper Cackle and Predator Howl. Players can also unlock the CUPRA Race Suit in celebration of the new CUPRA vehicles that will be gifted to all players during the series.
Each Weekly Photo Challenge in Explore the Horizon has a different mini-camp site location to discover. In addition, smashable animal-shaped cardboard cut-out collectibles can also be found in different locations each week.
Explore the Horizon introduces six new-to-Forza cars – here are the details for four that can be unlocked in the Festival Playlist:
2019 DeBerti Ford Super Duty F-250 Lariat 'Transformer'
Earn 20 PTS during the Week 1 “Summer” Season on the Explore the Horizon Festival Playlist. Available from May 25 – June 1.
Forza Horizon players are already familiar with how DeBerti can truly transform both the looks and performance of a vehicle with unique and outlandish modifications. Their conversion of the Ford Super Duty F-250 might just be their biggest and most unforgettable build ever! It’s called the 'Transformer' for a reason with utility bedsides that can be unlocked to reveal additional stowage compartments. While the factory fitted 6.7-liter diesel engine remains under the hood, DeBerti made extensive modifications to achieve 850 brake horsepower and ensured the truck was all-terrain ready with a robust suspension system, high-visibility LED beacons and massive 37-inch tires. The load bed is also fully custom with two spare wheels at disposal and a pull-out utility box so you can always have the tools necessary to Explore the Horizon.
1986 Ford F-150 XLT Lariat
Earn 20 PTS during the Week 2 “Autumn” Season on the Explore the Horizon Festival Playlist. Available from June 1 – June 8.
The Ford F-Series of trucks have been America’s best-selling truck for the past 46 consecutive years, and America’s best-selling vehicle for 41 years. An F-Series was sold every 49 seconds in 2022! This seventh-generation “bullnose” 1986 F-150 was the model that helped secure this incredible sales feat and was a revolutionary model for Ford. With its independent Twin I-Beam 4x4 front suspension and modern, comfortable interior styling, the F-150 bridged the gap between car and truck better than ever before – a workhorse of a vehicle suitable for any task. This F-150 has the 5.0 (302) V8 under its hood producing a modest 185 horsepower. In stock form this F-150 will leave you plenty of time to see the sights of Mexico, but a quick Festival visit to explore the upgrades available will reveal that this truck can be hopped up into a serious overlanding rig.
1972 Chevrolet K-10 Custom
Earn 20 PTS during the Week 3 “Winter” Season on the Explore the Horizon Festival Playlist. Available from June 8 – June 15.
Chevrolet’s C/K Series trucks are some of the most popular collector trucks. This 1972 K-10 Custom is from the last year of the second generation of C/K trucks, nicknamed “Action Line.” With features including an immediately recognizable egg-crate front grille, a big squared off hood and the highly desirable Fleetside short bed, this K-10 has a truckload of retro style! The “C/K” model code refers to the drivetrain of the truck, this 1972 K-10 is fitted with a 4x4 driveline (whereas a “C-10” would be rear-wheel drive). Under the hood is the faithful Chevrolet 350 Small block V8 engine, in this application pushing out 175 horsepower. While it may be tuned for rugged reliability and not outright performance, this V8 powered 4x4 truck has all the ingredients to make a great fun Horizon exploration vehicle.
2022 GMC HUMMER EV Pickup
Earn 20 PTS during the Week 4 “Spring” Season on the Explore the Horizon Festival Playlist. Available from June 15 – June 22.
Super cruise the roads of Mexico with the GMC HUMMER EV. This fully-equipped electric truck has 3 motors that can reach up to 355 miles of electric range on a full charge. Performance numbers include 1,000 horses of raw power with up to 11,500 lb-ft of wheel torque. There are zero tailpipe emissions and a brief 12-minute charge can get you towards an impressive 100 miles of range. Built to Explore the Horizon and traverse its most rugged terrain with ease, the HUMMER EV has unique four-wheel steering with the rear wheels capable of turning an impressive 10°, extreme off-road tires and adaptive air ride suspension options. Combined they ensure the HUMMER EV is ready to surpass all obstacles, from massive boulders to fording water. In Forza Horizon 5, it is set to “Terrain Mode” and players can fit an optional roof tent upgrade or enable its convertible functionality to remove the four modular sky panels and achieve that “infinity” setup. The truck can even reach 0-60mph in just 3 seconds – a remarkable feat for a vehicle of such sheer size and off-roading capabilities.
UPGRADE HIGHLIGHT: This vehicle features a Motor and Battery Swap which also changes the EV audio for the car, try it out!

New EventLab Props
The Blueprint Builder Library in EventLab continues to expand with new props and structures to help you bring your creations to life in Forza Horizon 5. In this series, we’re introducing a set of snappable asphalt pieces used to build the Horizon Oval Circuit. These can be found in a new category called “Racing.”
In addition, five new props featuring lights and a backdrop, ideal to build a photo studio, can be found in the “Decorations” tab.
Pathfinder Challenges
Prove your mastery of Forza Horizon 5’s map in all-new Pathfinder Challenges. A total of 12 unique routes highlighted by markers have been added to Free Roam, with 3 available to complete in each week of the series. An associated accolade is also unlocked upon reaching the Pathfinder destination.
Each season, the first accolade is automatically unlocked and pinning it will set a GPS marker to the start of the first route. They will be marked by a series of trail marker balloons, which will be green at the start and finish line, and red along the route.
Once the first route has been completed, a second accolade will be unlocked, however it will not be marked on your GPS – you'll need to refer to the accolade description to find out where the next one starts. This also applies to the third accolade that is unlocked upon completion of the second route.
Once all 3 routes in a week have been finished, a Treasure Chest is unearthed near the end of the third route. By achieving all the Pathfinder accolades, a new Player Badge and the 1953 Morris Minor Series II Traveler is unlocked.

Race the Porsche #70 935 and Relive the Storied Legacy of “Moby Dick”
This week in Forza Horizon 5 is a celebration of one of the most iconic race cars ever made, the legendary 935/78, often dubbed the “Moby Dick.”
The 2019 Porsche #70 935 has a heritage deeply rooted in motorsport with Porsche DNA written all over the car. From its 3.8-litre 6-cylinder twin-turbo engine as featured in the 911 GT2 RS to the rear wing endplate LEDs from the 919 Hybrid LMP1, as well as its exposed titanium tailpipes modelled on the classic 1968 908.
While only 77 models exist in the real-world, Forza Horizon 5 players can add the 2019 Porsche #70 935 to their garage for 20 PTS on this week’s Festival Playlist and relive its epic racing battles on the Horizon Oval Circuit. Be sure to visit the Horizon Stadium and complete a few laps if you haven’t already!
This week’s Festival Playlist events and their associated rewards are available until Thursday, May 11. Here’s the full overview:
SERIES REWARDS
80 PTS: 2010 Ferrari 599XX
160 PTS: 1993 McLaren F1

Experience High Performance in 4 New-to-Forza Cars
Drive at speed on the all-new Horizon Oval Circuit with four unmissable cars all centered around High Performance. These cars are all new-to-Forza and available on the upcoming Festival Playlist. Let’s check them out!
2020 Lamborghini Huracán STO
Earn 20 PTS during the Week 1 “Summer” Season on the High Performance Festival Playlist. Available from April 27 – May 4.
To elevate the Huracán into a super-sports car with the prowess of a track machine, Lamborghini built the Huracán STO with one clear priority – give the world a high-end, road-legal supercar that fuses the innovative technology and unmatched driving experience of a modern race car. To achieve this, the Italian manufacturer's talented team of engineers created a bespoke design that includes extreme aerodynamics to produce incredible downforce, custom handling honed from the racetrack, special carbon-ceramic Brembo brakes derived from Formula 1, a race-ready lightweight chassis and a powerful V10 engine infused with Squadra Corse learnings that enables the Huracán STO to reach 0-62mph in 3 seconds with a top speed of 192mph (310km/h). In short, it’s blistering quick, representing decades of Lamborghini excellence and a winning motorsport heritage in a spectacular car like no other.
2019 Porsche #70 Porsche Motorsport 935
Earn 20 PTS during the Week 2 “Autumn” Season on the High Performance Festival Playlist. Available from May 4 – May 11.
In celebration of its legendary 935/78 Le Mans racecar, Porsche reignited the storied legacy of the often dubbed “Moby Dick” with the all-new 2019 Porsche #70 935. While its heritage is deeply rooted in motorsport, the car itself isn’t homologated for competition, which gave its engineers and designers the freedom to create something truly special. Porsche DNA is written all over this car with technology based on the 911 GT2 RS, rear wing endplate LEDs from the 919 Hybrid LMP1, side mirrors taken from the 911 RSR, and exposed titanium tailpipes modelled on the 1968 908. Its 3.8-litre 6-cylinder twin-turbo engine is also nearly identical to the unit found in the 911 GT2 RS and can produce 700-horsepower with increased downforce courtesy of all-new aerodynamics. While only 77 units have been produced and are already naturally spoken for, Forza Horizon 5 players can join those lucky buyers in getting their hands on the 959’s robust carbon wheel, fittingly inspired by the 2019 911 GT3 R.
2021 Audi RS 6 Avant
Earn 20 PTS during the Week 3 “Winter” Season on the High Performance Festival Playlist. Available from May 11 – May 18.
Combine a 4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine with the chassis of a station wagon and you get the car that Audi enthusiasts have always desired. Indeed, the 2021 Audi RS 6 Avant is dream come true for fans of the German automaker, and it's backed by high-speed performance numbers that are staggering for a vehicle of its class. Its high-end Tiptronic transmission delivers the engine’s 591 horses to the signature Quattro all-wheel drive system to achieve a top speed of 189mph and it reaches 0-60mph in just 3.5 seconds. With notably aggressive yet nuanced RS-specific styling including a wide body design and flared wheel arches, a classy modern interior, and a large capacity trunk to secure all your road-trip essentials, the RS 6 Avant has it all, and is undoubtedly a road champion in true practicality.
2021 Porsche Mission R
Earn 20 PTS during the Week 4 “Spring” Season on the High Performance Festival Playlist. Available from May 18 – May 25.
Pioneering the incredibly exciting future of electrified Porsche GT4 race cars, the 2021 Porsche Mission R makes a clear statement by bringing together everything that the Porsche lineage has always set out to achieve and doing it with astounding performance numbers. While the car is proof of concept and won’t enter production, the vision behind the all-wheel drive, lightweight and fully electric car has been to show how racecars could evolve over the next five to six years. Its two electric motors deliver over 800 kW (1,088 PS), which translates to 1,000 horsepower, and the car itself achieves 0-62mph in less than 2.5 seconds with an overall top speed of 186mph (300km/h). Porsche also patented the car’s distinct carbon fiber Exoskeleton roof. As for the fast-charging, thermal efficient and high-capacity 82 kWh battery powered by 900-volt technology, the car can be charged from 5% up to 80% in just 15 minutes which makes it perfect for high-intensity sprint racing. The Mission R is a testament of Porsche’s innovative engineering and technology, a truly astonishing piece of craftsmanship that is as unique as it is forward-looking because put simply, today, there’s nothing else quite like it.
