It’s time to get creative with the latest Festival Playlist for Forza Horizon 5, now live. A big game update has improved the custom map and event creation tool Eventlab to now be dubbed Eventlab 2.0.
There’s a few new body kits and rims, but the star of this month is the inclusion of new BMW cars as well as the introduction of Rivian.
This Festival Playlist will see you unlock Beemers with all kinds of kidney grills, from old-school weird (say hello again to the BMW 850CSi) to the new brand of weird (good god they added the BMW iX oh god no my eyes it burns).
Rivian, the new electric-truck brand has now made its first video game appearance in Forza Horizon 5. The Rivian R1T truck and Rivian R1S SUV make their video game debut.
And they look good in Forzavista too. The R1T in this game even has the utility tunnel rendered. That’s the small hatch that goes through the truck on each side.
Plus, there’s a crossover between Forza Horizon 5 and the new Forza Motorsport. The Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray can be earned in Forza Horizon 5 by owning the Forza Motorsport game.
