Forza Horizon 5 has announced a new Italian Automotive update. Forza Horizon 5 is one of the biggest exclusives Xbox has released for the Xbox Series X thus far. The Forza series is an Xbox staple and really found its footing in the Xbox 360 generation and even more so during the Xbox One era after Turn 10 realized it would be smart to alternate between Motorsport and Horizon. The former is far more into being a simulation racer like Gran Turismo and offers an extreme level of detail, something racing enthusiasts fawn over. The Horizon series, on the other hand, aims to take some of that high-level of detail and apply it to a more forgiving, arcade-y racing experience that takes you to beautiful locations to do more unrealistic things.

With Forza Motorsport on the way in just a couple of months, Forza Horizon 5 is still getting updates. The new Italian Automotive update introduces a bunch of new cars, including 16 cars for all players to celebrate the return of Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Abarth and Lancia. 8 of these cars will be immediately attainable from the autoshow on August 15th while the other 8 can be obtained in festival playlists from Thursday, August 17 running through September 14, 2023. In order to make room for these cars, the total garage space has also expanded from 1,000 cars to 2,000 cars. You can view the full list of cars, including a list for the Italian Exotics Pack, below.
