Forza Horizon 5 will soon receive a Series 10 update, dropping alongside the much anticipated Hot Wheels update set to go live later today, i.e., July 19, 2022.
The Series 10 update, dropping in two days, will be a joint effort between Forza and Extreme E, the latter being the sport-for-purpose electric off-road racing series.
The first Festival Playlist will drop on July 21, 2022, and end on August 17, 2022. Moreover, the Series 10 update will allow players access to the Hot Wheels expansions, with additional events and rewards.
While Playground Games is yet to reveal the official patch notes for the Forza Horizon 5 Series 10 update, they have talked about some changes and features users can look forward to once the Extreme E events are live.

Upcoming Hot Wheels content to look forward to in Forza Horizon 5
Forza Horizon 5 fans can try their hands out on new Hot Wheels content irrespective of the expansion purchase.
They will have access to new car customization options, including the Hot Wheels signature redline tire compound, 12 new Hot Wheels Spectralflame colors, and a new Metal Flake paint choice with lowlight and highlight settings.
Along with this, there will be an entirely new take on the Buggy and the Beast Showcase event called “Shaken, Not Stirred,” where players will get to pilot the 2013 Hot Wheels Baja Bone Shaker. Forza Horizon 5 fans who can complete the playlist will get the Hot Wheels Rip Rod.
Additionally, there will be many bug fixes and performance updates, which are as follows:
- Players could lose credits if their Auction House bid failed.
- Horizon Tour autocompleting itself in the Festival Playlist.
- TAA on PC causing wheels to appear blurry or transparent.
- Certain cars feeling more unstable to drive when using simulated steering after a physics change in Series 9.
- Inability to challenge players to head-to-head races in The Eliminator if they were using the Telemetry overlay.
- Players could timeout when joining an EventLab event in co-op.
- Players could be returned to Freeroam during Horizon Open.
One highlight of the gameplay changes will be the new save recovery system, where Forza Horizon 5 users can restore previous backups if their game files lose their most recent save data.
The Hot Wheels expansion will also come with ten new cars and a map with four different areas linked with more than 200 km of the Hot Wheels tracks.
