A new Forza Horizon 5 series is here, with Summer Party bringing a slew of new cars plus the Icons of Speed Horizon Story with a bonus reward. The Summer Festival Playlist has dropped, and with it comes a shiny new set of cars to win and weekly challenges to complete.
Let’s find out what awaits players in the Forza Horizon 5 Summer Party Summer Festival Playlist.
Forza Horizon 5 Summer Party Summer
Summer in Forza Horizon 5 Summer Party kicks off on Thursday 20 July at 3:30pm BST / 10:30am ET.
As always, the Summer season ends on Thursday 27 July 3:30pm BST / 10:30am ET. That gives you seven days to complete the challenges and win as many Forza Points as possible to go towards the Ford Mustang DD (80 points) and Dodge Super Bee (160 points).
Across four weeks, Summer Party adds six new cars. These are the 2022 Toyota GR86, 2018 DeBerti Ford Mustang GT, 1973 Ford XB Falcon GT, 1970 Hot Wheels Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Custom, and 1973 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am SD-455.
