The Forza Horizon 5 American Automotive patch notes have been confirmed by developers PlayGround Games today.
The American Automotive Festival Playlist was announced yesterday as part of Forza Monthly for November 2023. There are new cars, tracks, routes, events and a whole lot more included in this festival playlist.
What else didn't the official announcement include, though? Well, what was missed there is included in the full patch notes we have for you right here!
Forza Horizon 5 American Automotive Patch Notes
Despite the launch of Forza Motorsport last month, Forza Horizon 5 is still receiving regular updates thanks to developers PlayGround Games. Horizon 5 has been out for over two years now, but is showing no sign of slowing down.
With the gap between Horizon 4 and Horizon 5 being three years, we can expect Horizon 5 to still be the latest and greatest Horizon game until at least this time in 2024!
To summarise, American Automotive includes one new Track, four Routes, 30 rims, three body kits, over a dozen new accolades, 12 new cars, as well as new Golden Tank rewards.
