in the Notes for a patch too ForzaHorizon 5 For Tuesday, March 29, developer Playground Games revealed an overhaul of Horizon Open, the game’s competitive multiplayer mode.
“Horizon Open has been updated with a new progression system, including badges that can be unlocked through gameplay,” the patch notes read. This is remarkable because ForzaHorizon 4 had a ranked multiplayer mode and associated progression system, but Playground chose to omit those features ForzaHorizon 5
Playground also announced a new Horizon Open mode that gives players more control over the type of races they undertake. Custom Racing “allows players to find races for their chosen racing discipline and PI [performance index] class,” the notes said. For example, you can search for S1 class road races or A class cross-country races.
ForzaHorizon 5 received praise for its beautiful visuals, packed open world, and social elements, and reached the largest audience in the series to date through Game Pass. It also offers unique multiplayer attractions in the form of Playground games and Battle Royale-style Eliminator modes, as well as a range of cooperative play options. But the Horizon series has always struggled to find the right focus and balance for its main competitive mode, which tends to be rowdy and chaotic.
Tuesday’s patch will also address stability and performance improvements, allowing players to manipulate gravity in their EventLab creations, and making numerous fixes to the game and its cars, including fixing a dent in the Jaguar XJ220 and changing the Shift animation of the 1968 Renault 4L. The search for automotive authenticity never ends.
