The £36 package upgrades the Game Pass version to the full Premium Edition. (Assuming you're going to stay in Game Pass.)

Ace. Cheers.

There have been a few offers on the Icelandic store for it for £20 or so. Maybe wait a bit longer and see if it pops back?

Surprisingly scalable PC specs there.

I'll definitely give this a go, but FH4 never properly grabbed me so I'll be interested to see if this can change that!

Massive fan of the Forza series. I’ll be in this day 1. Forza horizon 3 and 4 were both great.

This time around, Playground showed off its newly improved character creator, the expanded and more in-depth Horizon Stories, a first look at the FH5 Festival Playlist, and even revealed that a much-requested car is actually being added to the game.

Here's what you need to know about the most recent FH5 stream, which follows the online and multiplayer-focused Let's Go! Episode 8:

The character creator is better than ever. None of this is new info, but Playground did show the character creator for the first time, which revealed that players will have more characters to choose from, and will be able to customize options like the hairstyle, hair color, prosthetics, pronouns, voice, clothing, and accessories, all independently of each other.

Horizon Stories are bigger and grander. Horizon Stories return in FH5 as little "slices" of story content, but this time they go deeper and tell more. There are a ton of Horizon Stories in Forza Horizon 5, each with multiple chapters, potentially branching paths, and more. Players will also be able to replay the Horizon Stories whenever they feel like it.

The Festival Playlist is redesigned. The Festival Playlist was a highlight of this Let's Go! stream, as there's a ton to talk about here. The Playlist has been redesigned to be easier to navigate and use, while lots of additional activities have been added on top of the community's returning favorites. Here's what you need to know about the Festival Playlist in Forza Horizon 5:

Series 1 officially kicks off on Nov. 11, 2021, in the Summer season
From Nov. 5 to Nov. 11, early players will have access to a much smaller "Welcome Week" set in Spring
Every Series will have a theme, which will actually evolve and change the Forza Horizon 5 map. The first Series will be "Welcome to Horizon Mexico," while the second Series will likely be Holiday themed

The DeLorean is back. That's right, the DMC DeLorean, lovingly referred to as the DMC-12, is making a comeback in the Forza Horizon 5 car list! Available as a reward during the Summer season of Series 1, the DeLorean is one of the community's most requested vehicles. Now, with FH5, you'll be able to theoretically travel back in time, assuming you're able to get up to speed.

Over 10 Barn Finds. A small detail, but it was revealed that Forza Horizon 5 features at least over 10 Barn Finds. Playground isn't ready to reveal an exact number, yet, but there should be a few to look forward to for players.

Forza Horizon 5 Achievements. A list of Forza Horizon 5 Achievements was revealed on Xbox Wire, and is now available for players to peruse.

Route Creator now includes Super7 features. The Route Creator is returning in Forza Horizon 5, and has apparently been augmented by Super7 features introduced late in FH4's lifetime. Now, Route Creator sits under the EventLab creative umbrella.

Out a month today for Premium Edition owners.

Looks like the Iceland premium trick is back.

https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/forza- ... 2021-10-05

Comes through as a preorder. Released on the 5th November. £23 or so. I’m on gamepass and I’ll no doubt get the value out of it, the dlc is offer £12-15 each.

Whole premium edition of the game (if you don’t have gamepass) is £53 rather than £80 using the Icelandic store.

Looks great, however FH4 felt like a Hell of a lot of busy work and I'm guessing 5 will be the same?

I enjoyed 4 but the core gameplay was a means to an end of letting me mess around making hill climb cars or turning thing into off-road monsters and trying (badly) to climb the rivals boards, but even that got boring after a while. This looks lovely but without a pc demo to see how it actually runs I'm loathe to spend a lot of money, and it does seem to be even more live service-focused than before.

Can’t you get a month of gamepass to try it?

A tenner to try out FH 5 for a month is a fair shout.

They may still do those free trial codes for 2 weeks.

I've not watched too much of the streams as I wanted to all be sort of fresh, but I did see they're bringing the DeLoreon back as a reward in Season 1 of FH5. It's going to be weird playing those weekly challenges again without cars that make them all effortless. No doubt it will throw money at you, but me go to cars for them in FH4 were the Jesko for on road and the Hoonigan RS2000 for off road, both of which were reward cars that came later. Much later with the Jesko I think.

Maybe I'm just old but I just can't bring myself to drive a car called "Hoonigan".
I'm not 12

Had to be done for the drift challenges. It’s a good point that when you start out it’s going to be hard. I came to 3 and 4 late and therefore had loads of cars available.

I don't even bother with those as even if I have the best car in the game I'm going to suck and just end up chucking the controller at a wall :shifty:

Pfft, it's not about those cars anyway. It's about buying an absolute clunker and turning it into a beast.

Yeah, like the Mini I used to 3-star all of the drift challenges. That was AWD. And uncontrollable for anything but drifting. I definitely want to do that again.
