All of Forza Horizon 5’s remaining time-limited bonus cars have today been added to its store, where they can be purchased with in-game vouchers.
Forza Horizon 5’s Festival Playlist system previously added new, free cars to the game every week since the game’s Xbox and PC launch in November 2021. However, while the cars were free, they were admittedly only ever available for a limited time – and required players to complete a series of events or challenges over the course of a week (or month) to earn. The themed, monthly Festival Playlists began to be repeated in early 2025, giving us a chance to collect cars we may have missed previously. We’ve also been able to unlock some of them from a curated selection of rare cars voted for by players by exchanging vouchers that can be redeemed or earned each week.
‘Backstage Passes’ can be redeemed with the Forzathon points you earn completing challenges.
However, today all of the remaining cars that had not already made it into the ‘Horizon Backstage’ store have been made available. Players will now be able to complete their car collections, and pick up cars they may have potentially been waiting years to become available again.
The good news comes ahead of the arrival of Forza Horizon 6 in May.
