Score Breakdown
The Review
Forza Horizon 5 is the best open-world racing game ever made. Playground Games recreated Mexico with staggering visual fidelity, and the seasonal weather system keeps the map feeling fresh months after launch. Over 700 cars, accessible handling, and the EventLab creator give players near-infinite content. It proves that racing games do not need to choose between simulation and fun.
Fun Fact
The game reached 10 million players in its first week, making it the biggest Xbox Game Studios launch in history.
