March weather here in the northeastern US is on the crummy side, which means it's a terrific time to head back out into the sunny southern climes of Forza Horizon 5. The bucolic driving game's sixth series has arrived, meaning there are all new activities and souped-up supercars to check out, as well as a nice batch of performance improvements and bug fixes.
Series Six introduces some new modes to Forza Horizon 5. There's Custom Racing available in Horizon Open now, which means you can group up with fellow racers who share your preferences - you can pick out your preferred PI class, race type, or what have you, and hop into a race with folks who've picked the same parameters.
On the topic of Horizon Open, it now has its own standalone progression system. Anything you do in Open Racing, Playground Games, Custom Racing, and Drifting will count towards your experience total for Horizon Open. The Eliminator will not - that's been moved to the Online tab in Forza Horizon 5's pause menu.
