You need to have either bought the Premium Edition of the game, or the Premium Add-ons Bundle with Gamepass to play it before the 9th.

I barely got started, but I’m ready to dive in this weekend. Does anyone know how/when the free stuff from the add on bundle is unlocked? I see car pass, packs, but only got one pack, and don’t see the free houses yet. Maybe I have to advance further.

Same issue with the car packs. We hopefully get a lot like in FH4.

Very tough field, but I have no problem with this result.

I don’t get driving games. Doesn’t make sense unless you got the setup, wheel controller or whatever? Can’t be any good using a regular controller.

You could always try it since it's in Game Pass and people here have already told you it's great. But whatever.
I couldn't imagine playing this particular game with a wheel, there's too much exploration and stuff.

That said, FH5 is super fun.

So this is not just a race other cars type game? Has story and you control a person while driving car? Do you control person?

If only there were some way to find out, like downloading and playing the game for free with Game Pass.
In other news, Forza Horizon 5 just won IGN's Game of the Year.

Play it. It’s very, very forgiving and accessible.

It has rewind functionality if you screw up.

Are we certain those aren't just placeholder images? Can't believe they'd go back to the Hot Wheels well. Especially with a brand-new Hot Wheels game less than a year old.

With the Hot Wheels DLC launching tomorrow, it felt like a good time to ask how FH5 has been going for you.
I got my wife and her family hooked on Forza Horizon, but it seems like FH5 hasn't had nearly the impact that 3 or 4 had. My wife sunk 72 hours into 2, 100 hours into 3, and 125 into 4, but the only reason "her" playtime cracked the 9 hour mark for 5 is because I was using it to get a quick achievement. (Thanks, MS Rewards!) She hasn't played it since right before Christmas. My nephew played 3 for 36 hours, 4 for 44 hours, and 5 for just 5 and a half hours. (He asked us to get it for him for Christmas and everything!) He hasn't played it in more than 6 months, though he has picked up FH4 since. My father-in-law has been playing 5 the most (56 hours), though that's still a long way from the 438 hours (!) he played 4.
I haven't really seen a lot of "what's wrong with FH5?!" posts on the message boards or gaming blogs I read, so I guess I'm curious if this is a widespread thing or just my wife and her family being Forza-d out.

I actually just bought 5 during the Prime Days Sale. It's been fun so far, and my son loves it. Not really any changes from 4 at this point, it's just more of the same.

I own the Hot Wheels DLC but for some reason the area where you are supposed to start from isn’t showing up on my map like it should (though the DLC is in the menu and the game did update). It’s very frustrating.

Forza Horizon Expansion 2 finally announced! I had totally forgotten that we never got a second one yet.

Moved to New Zealand and loaded up the game this morning. Played through the first 20 min. It's fantastic so far. Appears to have a more structured campaign than the last few, which is a great sign.
Game of the year!!
Is this turning out to be the highest rated game of 2021? could be!

(about to play it right now and searching for threads on it).
