I suppose it was too much to ask forPlayground Gamesto reveal the spooky-themedForza Horizon 5update one dayafterHalloween already ended, but I’ll take this. Forza Horizon 5: Track Day is official and starting next week, and this update may be the most spartan yet. No, I don’t mean basic and simple — I mean actualSpartans.
The next Forza Horizon 5 update boasts the largest single EventLab prop drop in the game’s history, and it’s allHalo. Of course, a new Festival Playlist is also arriving with four new reward cards (spoiler, they’re all modern Porsches), and the Oval Track is returning to the Stadium once again. Let’s dive into it all, shall we?

Did you ever want to race a Porsche down a Forerunner highway? Now you can.
I won’t waste any more of your time. Here’s everything coming in the Forza Horizon 5: Track Day update next week.
We’re not getting a massive pile of new vehicles to add to our garage, but that’s not a bad list for an update.
It’ll be really interesting to see what the many talented FH5 community designers are able to accomplish with all the new Halo props. The EventLab is about to be filled with unique new racetracks and maps that we’ve never seen in Forza before, and it should be a lot of fun.

While the arriving cars only number four in total, they’re all brand-new Porsches. That should make a lot of FH5 players happy, who are often asking for more modern cars, and Porsche has been a long-time staple of the Forza franchise. All-in-all, the Forza Horizon 5: Track Day update does seem pretty solid, and players will still be able to take advantage of theHorizon Backstage feature added in the last FH5 update.
Forza Horizon 5: Track Day is likely dropping on Tuesday, Nov. 5 for Xbox and Windows PC, but the actual Festival Playlist won’t kick off until that Thursday.
