DuringGamescom 2024, one of the smaller announcements stashed alongside the deluge of major reveals and updates was a short teaser for Forza Horizon 5’s newest game mode: Hide & Seek. Exactly as the name suggests, this pits five Seekers against one player who has to hide and elude their hunters for the duration of the match. It’s an interesting addition to theForza Horizon 5formula, and it’s coming alongside the next major content update.
I’m not alone in that I already tend to do my fair share of hiding from the world in real life, and now I can do it as a car.
You can check out the latest Let’s Go! stream above for all the information, but I’ll summarize for those who don’t have time to sit through an hour-long stream. The next content update is known as Forza Horizon 5: Hidden Horizons, and brings four new reward cars to the refreshed and thematic Festival Playlist, the Hide & Seek game mode, and more.

The ‘Hidden Horizons’ update is definitely on the modest size, largely riding on the back of the new Hide & Seek mode. It’s still an exciting addition, though, giving players a completely new way to enjoy FH5’s multiplayer. There are also a couple of other changes and new features, too, so let’s dive in.

These new features are accompanied by a fresh batch of car model fixes and bug squashing, but there’s nothing particularly exciting in the changelog.
