Forza Horizon 5’s Hot Wheels expansion has been officially confirmed
The DLC will be released in July
The Hot Wheels DLC expansion for Forza Horizon 5 has officially been revealed.
The game’s first expansion pack, simply titled Forza Horizon 5: Hot Wheels, will be released on July 19.
Players will be able to design, build, and share their own Hot Wheels tracks with 80 track piece types to choose from.
The expansion will also include 10 new cars, including the 2021 Hennessey Venom F5 and 2000 Hot Wheels Deora II.
The expansion leaked earlier in the week when a promotional image was briefly shown on the game’s Steam page.
This isn’t the first time Forza and Hot Wheels have teamed up. The second expansion pack for Forza Horizon 3 was also Hot Wheels themed, and took players to a separate open world area made out of stunt track pieces.
It also added 10 DLC cars, including classic Hot Wheels cars scaled up to the size of regular cars.
Forza Horizon 5 has an Expansion Bundle available on the Xbox Store, which “includes two game expansions when they become available. Each expansion will introduce a new location, vehicles and gameplay.”
Forza Horizon 4‘s Expansion Bundle included the Fortune Island and Lego Speed Champions game expansions.
Fortune Island saw players travel to a mountainous island filled with tough terrain. The expansion features the single largest mountain road in the history of the Horizon series. It also added 10 cars, which could be used in the main game.
Lego Speed Champions added the Lego Valley, a new location in the game in which most of the environment was made of Lego. This expansion added five Lego versions of popular cars, several of them based on real Lego sets.
Earlier this week, Forza Horizon 5 passed 20 million players, a milestone it has reached in seven months.
