The latest update for Playground Games’ Forza Horizon 5 has today gone live across Xbox and PC platforms. Despite launching all the way back in 2021, Playground has continued to support FH5 in a major way with routine updates and expansions. As of today, that trend has continued as the studio has let loose its Series 22 update for Forza Horizon 5 which brings a number of new cars and features to its vast open-world.ย 

Downloadable at this very moment, the newest Forza Horizon 5 update has accomplished the norm and has solved a variety of bugs and other problems that have been found in the game. Outside of this, though, a new Car Pack has also been released which adds four new vehicles to FH5. And later this week beginning on June 22, a group of nine additional cars will then be earnable as rewards as part of the Festival Playlist and Donut Media storyline.ย
