Join a Thrilling Game of Chase with Hide & Seek.
Forza Horizon 5 welcomes Hide & Seek, its newest multiplayer experience.
In this brand-new game mode, a group of six players will take part in a game of chases taking on one of two roles.
Hiders are tasked with remaining hidden from their opponents until the End Zone (the location the Hider needs to reach) is revealed. After the End Zone has been disclosed, the Hider will have to reach it before time runs out and before Seekers build enough points to take the win.
On the other hand, Seekers will be tasked with finding and staying close to the Hiders. Doing so will earn them points to complete the Seeker’s Detection Meter. Seekers must complete their bar before time runs out and before the Hider reaches the End Zone to put the win under their belt.
Hide & Seek will have its own in-game progression system through which players will be able to earn badges and complete accolades unique to Hide & Seek.

Try two track superstars or two rally legends, all unlockable in each of the next four weeks and solve the mystery of which one is the fastest around our roads.
1995 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution III GSR

Equipped with an all-wheel drive system and built to be lightweight, this car handles like a dream on road and off it as well. Furthermore, the reduced weight helped the car make the most out of its 2.0 turbocharged engine, allowing it to reach 100 kph in 5.1 seconds.
The Evo III is a car that’s used to podiums having earned two second place finished in the Constructors Championship in 1995 and 1996 as well as a first-place finish in the WRC Driver’s Championship at the hands of Tommi Mäkinen.
Do not break its tradition, and keep earning wins in the Evo III at the Horizon Festival!
2022 Subaru WRX
Sporting the new Subaru 2.4-liter engine is the 2022 Subaru WRX, the latest entry in the Japanese brand’s rally- inspired sports sedan car series.
This redesigned version of the WRX produces 271 bhp and can go from 0 – 100 kph in about 5.7 seconds. As is tradition with this line of cars, the 2022 version of the WRX comes with all-wheel drive to accelerate as fast as possible and use every one of the 258 lb-ft of torque it makes.
Equip this car with the finest off-roading customizations and create your own rally champion.
1991 Toyota Chaser GT Twin Turbo
The reward for the Winter Season of Hidden Horizons is one of the smoothest JDMs ever made. Make room in your garage for the 1991 Toyota Chaser GT Twin Turbo.
This version of the Chaser sports a 2.5-liter 6-cylinder engine that is, of course, turbocharged. The 1JZ-GTE engine can produce 276 bhp and 268 lb-ft of torque.
This car’s other highlights include its amazing drive, courtesy of a phenomenal suspension that includes a limited-slip differential on the rear, and its front-engine/rear drive build that provides a ton of balance.
Have a go at creating your perfect street racer with the GT Twin Turbo!
2013 Volvo C30 Polestar
One of Volvo’s most exclusive builds arrives at the Horizon Festival this series. An front-wheel drive, 250 horsepowered, ready-to-race version of the C30: the 2013 Volvo C30 Polestar.
The source of all its power? Elementary, my dear reader! It's a 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine tuned by Volvo’s long-time partner in making things fast, Polestar.
To make the look match the inside, this car was fitted with a new, more aerodynamic bodykit, and a striking blue color. Polestar also added new brakes and stiffer springs to upgrade the driving experience.
Only 250 units of this car saw the light of day in America; get a hold of yours and discover the mystery of its performance!
