A new Forza Horizon 5 update is out today on Xbox One, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, Xbox Game Pass, and PC alongside patch notes that reveal and detail everything developer Playground Games has done with the update, and it’s a lot. The ninth post-launch update to the game comes with many new features, as well as new content in the form of Hot Wheels cars and cosmetics. Playground Games also advertises the update as having many “major fixes.”
While we know everything the update does, down to the most minor of details, we don’t have any file sizes for the update. The patch notes don’t include this information, which means the maximum insight we can offer about how long this download will take is that it has both lengthy patch notes and new content, which means it’s likely going to be larger than the bulk of previous updates in terms of file size.
