The latest Forza Horizon 5 stream shows off the full map and new gameplay

The long wait for Forza Horizon 5 is winding down at a frustratingly slow pace, but Playground Games and Xbox Game Studios are helping to pass the time with their Let’s Go! streams. The latest episode of Let’s Go! just concluded, and showcased a ton of new Forza Horizon 5 gameplay and lots of new details for players to sink their teeth into. Probably the most exciting facet of the new stream, however, was the reveal of FH5’s full map, which you can view in all its glory right below.

The stream included lots of other information as well, building on top of what we’ve seen from earlier streams. The last episode of Let’s Go! for Forza Horizon 5 featured lots of new gameplay through several of the biomes in FH5, and Let’s Go! Episode 5 continued the trend by bringing players through the rocky coast, sandy desert, and living desert biome. What’s more, we saw this gameplay behind the wheel of the 2020 Toyota Supra GR, which has been confirmed to be included in the Forza Horizon 5 car list from day one.

Forza Horizon 5 looks committed to topping our list of best Xbox racing games when it releases on Nov. 9, 2021 for Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, PC, and Xbox Cloud Gaming, and every Let’s Go! stream only cements this possibility. FH5 will also be available through Xbox Game Pass day one on consoles and PC.
