As Sierra Nueva welcomes the first drivers to its rugged terrain in Forza Horizon 5 Rally Adventure from March 29, the Horizon Festival in Mexico will experience prolonged night hours from March 30 until April 27 to put on its own light show featuring neon decorations, drones and more.
After a series dedicated to Horizon Wilds, the Street Scene vibes are now officially in check! There’s no better way to celebrate the Grit Reaper’s love of late-night rally racing.
Game Fixes & Release Notes
The latest Forza Horizon 5 update will be available to download on Xbox consoles and Windows PCs though the Microsoft Store and Steam from Tuesday, March 28 – one day before the release of Forza Horizon 5 Rally Adventure. To begin your expedition in Sierra Nueva, you’ll need to download both the upcoming series update and the expansion once it’s available starting at 11am PT on Wednesday, March 29. Looking ahead, the Midnights at Horizon series begins in-game on Thursday, March 30.
We’re closely monitoring your Forza Horizon 5 feedback as new fixes are developed and made available to the community. Here’s a look at some of the most notable improvements you can look forward to upon downloading the update:
We’ve fixed the black windows that appear on car thumbnails in the car selection menu. While this won’t retroactively apply to existing thumbnails, these can be regenerated yourself by modifying the car with either a new color, livery or tuning parts.
Fixed an issue in the Las Afueras Street Race upon resetting the car after missing a specific checkpoint.
Daily Wheelspins from the Hotel Castillo Player House are now consistently rewarded every day.
An issue that prevented players from using d-pad menus after the Convoy host disconnects while loading into a race has been fixed.
We’ve made improvements to alleviate the crash rate for head-to-head races in The Eliminator and Free Roam.
Players could generate excess accolade points offline that contributed to the Hall of Fame leaderboard by repeating timed accolade challenges. This has been fixed.
The number of target photos for Horizon Promo has been corrected.
An issue that caused cars to not rev past 3000 RPM when shifting from first gear to reverse, or from reverse to first gear, has been fixed.
A PC-specific issue that caused the game to crash if the display was not connected to the primary graphics card has been resolved.
Visit the Tuning & Upgrades menu at any Horizon Festival Outpost or Player House to fit the new anti-lag system to your favorite cars. This feature is available to all vehicles with a turbocharged engine and delivers more power while producing awesome flame effects and fire-cracker audio.
If you’re unable to locate anti-lag in the engine options, double check that your car has already been fitted with a turbocharger as it will not appear otherwise.
In addition, Launch Control has been added as a new assist option that can be toggled on or off. Whether you’re using it for Horizon Rally or Drag Racing, there’s no better way to achieve that perfect start off the line.
(Console only) Steering Wheel Rotation Support
Players who use a wheel in Forza Horizon 5 on Xbox Series X|S or Xbox One have a selection of new options to customize:
Steering Rotation – This sets the range of steering degrees of rotation on your wheel device but does not affect the Steering Lock.
Steering Lock Multiplier – This sets the angle formed by the front of the vehicle and the direction of front tires at maximum steering angle. The lower this value, the lower the angle will be.
Steering Speed Sensitivity – This sets the amount of Steering Lock of the car with speed. Lower value will provide a lower steering lock at high speed. By default (1.0) the steering lock does not change with speed.
(PC only) NVIDIA DLSS 3 & Reflex
PC players using NVIDIA RTX 40 Series GPUs can boost their Forza Horizon 5 framerates to new heights by enabling DLSS 3.0. This feature allows for silky smooth gameplay with over 120 FPS at 4K. Check out the benchmarks below for DLSS 3.0 performance at 4K and 1440p resolutions on RTX 40 Series GPUs.
For players looking to reduce system latency and improve overall responsiveness, NVIDIA Reflex will also be added as an option on GeForce GTX 900 and higher NVIDIA graphics cards.
Tire Profile Size
Tire Profile Size is being introduced for the off-road vehicles listed below, which includes buggies, trucks and performance SUVs. This option can be enabled on every tire compound, allowing players to increase the height of tires to maximize the available wheel arch space. As tire height is a component in gearing, the PI of the vehicle will increase while the gearing becomes “taller.” Increasing the tire height also raises the car’s ride height, giving more ground clearance.
All players can utilize this feature regardless of owning Forza Horizon 5 Rally Adventure. Some vehicles that support it are only obtainable in the expansion or were released in previous series updates or the Car Pass. Those cars have been marked with an asterisk.

Evolving World
The nightlife is heating up at the Horizon Festival and lighting up those extended night skies throughout the series are new neon decorations and drone shows.
Look out for the Horizon Badlands drones in Dunas Blancas, which acts as your Fast Travel point to Sierra Nueva, as well as another set at the end of the Danger Sign in Aerodromo En La Selva forming a bullseye target. This abandoned airfield will also be covered in brightly lit neon-infused decorations, while neon barriers and structures will be seen in race events throughout the series.
Extended night-time and neon decorations will be visible in the open world for a limited time, from March 30 until April 27.
EventLab Rally & Neon Props
The EventLab Blueprint Builder expands with 26 new Rally props, available to all players regardless of whether they own Forza Horizon 5 Rally Adventure.
These structures can be found in the Rally tab and include the Horizon Rally Helicopter, as well as rally trucks, caravans, rally flags, tents, barriers, rally chasers, caravans, a metal shed, a water tank, a gantry, and a rally brick wall that features nodes for snap functionality. Creators can place these objects in all map locations including Mexico, Hot Wheels Park and Sierra Nueva.
In addition, we’re adding 5 Neon Lights and 3 Googly Eye props under the Decoration category, while the 3D Neon Horizon Cube Collectible has been added to the Gameplay tab.
Festival Playlist
On the Festival Playlist, look out for the exclusive Neon Lights Tank, displaying in four Photo Challenge locations across Mexico. Plus find the hidden 3D Neon Horizon Cube Collectibles in the Autumn “Lights Out” challenge. New cosmetics include the Walkie Talkie and Foghorn Car Horns, as well as new clothing items inspired by Forza Horizon 5 Rally Adventure.
From this series onwards, Forza Horizon 5 Rally Adventure players will find two exclusive events available every week on the Festival Playlist. These will include a Seasonal Championship and PR Stunt set in Sierra Nueva and are unlocked by winning the Horizon Badlands Goliath. While completion of these events contributes points to your Festival Playlist completion, they are not required to unlock new reward cars, earn “Gold” on a series or unlock the “Min, Meet Max” achievement. Furthermore, non-expansion owners will not feel increased difficulty in unlocking new series reward cars, as their points requirements remain the same as before.

We're bringing nature's unpredictability to Horizon Rally across Dirt, Asphalt and Mixed Surfaces. Join us at midnight for the greatest street-style Rally experience!

Ready to feel the spirit of Baja with pure off-road performance? No strings attached, just a whole load of dunes and mud!
It’s Alex here, the team captain of the Horizon Raptors and I’m inviting YOU to join us and race through Dirt and Offroad Surfaces on the rugged offroad trails in Sierra Nueva. Get ready to send dust trails up in the air as you conquer off-camber roads.

With less than four weeks until the release of Forza Horizon 5 Rally Adventure, we know that many of you are eager to begin planning your off-road expeditions through the rugged Sierra Nueva.
Before we begin touring the biomes that bring this rally-fueled location to life, check out the map of Sierra Nueva during the Summer “Wet” season below. Head to the Forza.net article to download it in 8K.
Excited to begin your Forza Horizon 5 Rally Adventure on March 29? Pre-order the expansion for $19.99 or get it with the Premium Add-Ons Bundle which is 40% off in the Microsoft Store until April 3.

Now that you’ve taken in all the details shown on the map, let’s talk more about Sierra Nueva! With its vast topography, rich vegetation, incredible vistas and a great mix of asphalt, dirt and deformable sand roads, there’s no better way to experience Horizon Rally in your favorite cars.
PUEBLO ARTZA
Let’s start with the quaint town of Pueblo Artza. It’s located in the heart of Sierra Nueva and surrounded by tall, lush hills and spectacular rock formations. Some say the views from those cable cars are impressive, but they're not bad from the asphalt either.
DESERT GORGE
Asphalt Rally drivers, are you ready to tackle the technical roads of the Desert Gorge? This canyon is the perfect location to hear the echoing pops and bangs from your anti-lag turbocharger! Here you will find incredible scale views, swirling roads, massive rock formations patterned with unique striations, and a terrain engraved with a unique personality thanks to its Horizon-inspired murals. Drive on the wooden bridge and enter Photo Mode so you can capture the details up close!
GREEN HILLS
A view stretching out for miles of open spaces in the Green Hills full of vibrant plant life, towering rock terrain and a crystal-clear stream of water. Gaze ahead to the distance for miles of untamed open spaces in the Green Hills, full of vibrant plant life, towering rock terrain and a crystal-clear stream of water. We don’t anticipate it to remain that way for long however, especially once your muddy tires drive through it! Here you will also find a massive dam and reservoir, as well as a nearby asphalt drag strip so you can practice Launch Control.
PALM FOREST
Here’s a fun challenge: Can you smash down every tree in our Palm Forest? With plenty of nearby dirt trails primed for dust kicking and a beautiful, large waterfall and stream located off the beaten path, this biome is always a sight to behold!
ABANDONED QUARRY
Abandoned Quarry featuring machinery, sloped terrain, piles of dirt and dump trucks. Take your best stunt vehicle to Orogrande as this Quarry is about to feel a massive shake-up once the Horizon Rally drivers blitz their way through the machinery, sloped terrain and piles of dirt. Some may call it reckless, but this is Sierra Nueva. Just watch out for the dump trucks!
RUGGED DUNES
Rugged Dunes environment with some plant life dotted throughout. You’ll need to schedule a visit to the car wash after crossing the Rugged Dunes. With sand everywhere, tires carve into the terrain, leaving a distant trail behind them. You’ll also find deformable sand roads interwoven with pre-deformed tire tracks, as well as some hidden surprises, including a Bike Track ideal for short-burst Trophy Truck racing and the small town of Cráteres Secos nestled within a large crater!
GET YOUR RALLY ADVENTURE STARTED
Dusty trails scatter a winding dirt road in the Palm Forest, covered in trees and greenery. Can’t wait until March 29 to jump into Forza Horizon 5 Rally Adventure? Check out the Horizon Wilds Takeover where you can enjoy off-road racing action around Mexico and unlock new rally cars, buggies and trucks to ensure a great start once you arrive in Sierra Nueva.
Submit Your Forza Horizon 5 Bug Reports on the Troubleshooting Hub
Introducing a new way for our players to report Forza Horizon 5 issues, discover workarounds and find the latest status updates to ongoing bugs.
Since the launch of Forza Horizon 5, we have continued to investigate and fix bugs through our monthly series updates. Feedback from our community has been essential in reproducing these issues and developing fixes for them. We frequently receive new reports from players on our official forums, Discord and social channels, however our sole process for evaluating game issues has been the dedicated ticketing system available via Forza Support.
While we have compiled both known and fixed issues in our Forza Support release notes, we understand the ticketing system often leads to a wide gap in communication from when the issue is first reported to a fix being released. By introducing the new Troubleshooting Hub, we’re looking to improve visibility, reporting, and communication around the bug fix process.
Available to access today on the Forza Forums, the Troubleshooting Hub has been designed to be an all-in-one issue tracker for our community. There you will see what your fellow players are encountering in Forza Horizon 5, and just like our Suggestions Hub, you can also upvote existing topics to bring further awareness to an issue and prioritize its investigation.
We also encourage you to reply to topics with any other information that could be helpful to the Forza game teams and fellow community members. For example, if you know the exact reproduction steps, or a workaround to avoid the problem altogether, we can use that additional info to more efficiently investigate a fix, and you’ll have played an important role in helping us find that solution.
Our Forza Community Team will also use the Troubleshooting Hub to communicate progress on the issues that are reported by our players and provide workaround details if one exists.
We're launching the Troubleshooting Hub with top issues previously reported by players. These are high priority items for our team, and we encourage you to vote on these topics and share any additional insights that you may have on these issues.
The Troubleshooting Hub is broken down into three subcategories:
Known Issues – Any topic that has passed a certain threshold of votes will be moved here. These are the issues our team is actively investigating.
Report New Issues – Here is where you can submit new bug reports and upvote on others.
Closed – These issues have either been fixed or will not be fixed, and in the case of the latter, we’ll include the reasoning on why we’re unable to resolve the bug.
Once players have posted an issue, our team will review it to assign a bug category and status. This will be a quick way for us to let you know about the status of the report and if we need additional info. We will also merge duplicate topics to combine votes and info, such as reproduction steps or workarounds in one place, and to ensure the hub is simple for you to navigate.
Please understand that investigating, developing and releasing a fix is a timely process, and we won’t be able to immediately resolve issues as they’re reported. However, the Troubleshooting Hub will help us to understand how widespread each issue is, so we can prioritize our development efforts and inform our players on the current progress of each submitted report.
Before writing a new topic for the Troubleshooting Hub, please refer to the “Getting Started” posts that you will find pinned to help you get started. As a rule of thumb, the more information you can provide, such as reproduction steps, the more beneficial your report will be to our team. Please do not submit game crashes, lost save or player reports on the Troubleshooting Hub. These should continue to be reported through our Forza Support website.
The Troubleshooting Hub is for actively supported titles only; for issues related to Legacy Forza titles please refer to the existing articles on the Forza Support site.
We look forward to collaborating with you as we grow and maintain the Troubleshooting Hub into our all-in-one tracker for game issues, a centralized location that is useful and informative for both players and our developers alike. Get started today over on the Forza Forums.
