The reveal of Forza Horizon 5 during the Xbox+Bethesda Games Showcase took many by surprise, because we knew that Forza Motorsport was coming, but a new Horizon game, no idea.

With the game being set in Mexico, there is a lot of chances to explore a country that is as diverse as its people, but you won’t have to wait to learn more about the game, because in the early hours of the morning, the team at Playground Games hosted a live stream, where they took questions from viewers and tried to give as much information as they could.

One thing that is important to note, even though it wasn’t shown during the stream is that seasons are back again, meaning every week, you will get a new season to race in, but this time, you’ll feel its impact in unprecedented ways. Each of the eleven biomes found on the new map will be uniquely affected by the change in seasons. So that means if you’re deep in the jungle during spring, expect heavy rainfall, but during the dry season you’ll be able to access and explore areas you can’t reach any other time. No two seasons will ever be the same.

Now given that the new consoles are more powerful than the old ones, you might expect 4K60, but it turns out that is not the case, while the game will presented in 4K at 30 FPS on the Xbox Series X and 1080p at30 FPS on Xbox Series S, if you want that sweet framerate, ie 60 FPS, then you will need to enable performance mode. Something else is that they have said that ray tracing is added to cars in Forzavista, but there is no word on if ray tracing will be in the game as standard.

For now, check out the stream and again, the reveal screens are below, because they are just too good not to share again.
