The game seamlessly blends in fast-paced racing featuring a roster of over 500 cars and a beautiful, picturesque, vast, and diverse world that is the country of Mexico.

Forza Horizon 5 hotfix addresses stability and connectivity issues plaguing game

Unfortunately, the title has been plagued by a slew of bugs and glitches. Even though not as severe as other titles like Assasin’s Creed Unity or Cyberpun 2077, they are still interrupting smooth gameplay and driving players away.

The game has lost more than 75% of its original player base in a month.

While this patch addresses several issues, quite a few still plague the title. Hopefully, Playground Games will fix these problems and incentivize players to return to the title.

With that being said, let’s look at the patch changes.
