The highlight of Horizon 5 is the Mercedes-AMG Project ONE, a vehicle that can reach a maximum speed of over 350 km/h. Along with that, the game will feature dynamic seasons, ever-changing weather, and lots of different areas to explore.

Players will be able to roam deserts, jungles, cities, ruins, beaches, and even a volcano, which Microsoft boasts as the tallest point ever in a Forza game.

Horizon 5 isn’t the only Forza game in development. Microsoft’s Turn 10 Studios is hard at work on Forza Motorsport, which was revealed in 2020. It’s unclear when it’ll be ready for launch, but Forza Horizon 5 will certainly hold players over in the meantime.

Better yet, it’ll launch on Xbox Game Pass on release day since the game comes from a first-party Microsoft studio. It will come to Xbox Game Pass for PC, console, and cloud.

In addition, players can choose from multiple editions, including Standard, Deluxe, and Premium. Note that the Premium Edition will be available early on November 5, 2021.

The free updates arrives March 1 and includes American Sign Language (ASL) and British Sign Language (BSL) support for over 300 in-game cinematics. While accessibility options and resources have become more common in AAA games in recent years, sign language support is still very rare.
