Forza Horizon 5 Community Choice Series Brings Back Fan-Favourite Favourite Cars

It’s a new month, and that means a new Forza Horizon 5 series update has arrived, bringing an array of new cars and challenges. 2024’s first Forza Horizon 5 series has a unique twist, however.

As the name suggests, the Community Choice update’s reward cars, decorations and events are all chosen by the community.

Chosen by the community

Back in September, Playground Games invited the community to vote for their favourite cars, challenges, and stunts from past Forza Horizon 5 series to feature in a future series. Four months later, Forza Horizon 5’s first series curated by the community is here to start the year.

The new series sees the return of neon decorations from the Midnights at Horizon update back in March last year, with the glowing snake pattern illuminating the Aeródromo en la Selva’s landing strip and drone shows lighting up Mexico.
