Forza Horizon 5’s new update adds story co-op and Hot Wheels cars
The Series 9 update is available to download now
Forza Horizon 5‘s latest update adds co-op support for its story missions and a selection of new cars.
The new Series 9 update is available to download now, and features numerous big fixes and additions.
It also adds news cars to the Wheelspin, Car Pass and Festival Playlist features, including a number of Hot Wheels themed cars ahead of the official Hot Wheels expansion coming in July.
The PC version also gets a new temporal anti-aliasing option, which reduces shimmering.
According to developer Playground Games, the new co-op support for Horizon Stories missions will support up to six players. The highest score earned in the group is applied to all players, so even those who fail the objective will complete the mission if another player manages it.
The full list of new cars is as follows:

- 2018 Hot Wheels 2JetZ (June 23-29)
- 1968 Plymouth Barracuda Formula-S (June 30 – July 6)
