Before announcing the first Forza Horizon 5 expansion, Playground Games is releasing the next Festival Playlist so that players can plan accordingly in case they want a particular car or item. Starting June 9 and through June 16, a new set of challenges and events will be available in Forza Horizon 5, all grouped up under the Winter / Dry Season.
If you’re still working toward unlocking Series 8’s exclusive cars, the 2018 Mercedes-AMG E63 S and the 1939 Auto Union Type D, the events announced for the next week will definitely help you earn some of the points needed to add those cars to your garage.
Before we deep dive into what’s new to Forza Horizon 5 in terms of challenges and events, it’s important to mention that there are two specific cars that you can unlock this season: 2015 Mercedes-AMG GT S (20 points) and 1985 Porsche #185 959 Prodrive Rally Raid (40 points).
Without further ado, here are this week’s Forzathon events and challenges, which will reward players with both season points and Forzathon Points that can be used in the dedicated shop:
