KeenGamer: "Upon the release of Forza Horizon 5, Playground Games decided to retire Forza Hub completely. This is a huge disadvantage for the loyal fan base, as the app provided so-called 'loyalty rewards'. Not only do they retire Forza Hub, the entire system of being gifted cars at launch, for playing previous games, may now also be removed."
The new paid-for downloadable content will include four cars, three from Chinese brands and one synonymous with the nation.
The best racing games on the market.
Forza Horizon 5 has achieved a new milestone of 34 million players. The game has been drawing a million players each month since May.
WOW!!!
Forza Horizon 5 topped 30 million players five months ago! O.o

3 years of phenomenal success!
Definitely the most popular racer in gaming!
Playground Games are masters of their craft and I have no doubt that Fable has the right studio to continue its legacy!
Phil absolutely nailed acquiring such a talent studio!
True next gen Forza Horizon 6 will raise the bar even higher!
I can´t wait!
With Phil Spencer missing his Gamepass target three years in a row and the consensus that Starfield and Redfall are massive disapointment among players , it's good to see some win on Microsoft part. I second Obscure_Observer with the fact that Mario Kart 8 deluxe sales on Switch means nothing since Nintendo and Microsoft are not even in the same industry at all.
Redfall is a disappointment but Starfield is far from a disappointment. I dunno where you got that from.

I have spent many hours playing forza Horizon 5 myself and I love the crazy races where you are racing alongside planes and jet skis.
The only negative I can think of is that the in-game sound track could be better. I would also like to see nitro in the future games.
It doesn't matter. All Xbox division has to do is keep players subscribed and keep the graph on the plus side. Even for 0.1%. If they can do that... they, as a whole, are successful.
Meh. They're right about it being unbalanced. I'm not sure unbalanced is the right way to describe it, but at this point it's pretty difficult for newer players to reach the top tier on the rewards. They say their working on a new rewards system, so no need to panic.
The first few GT games are my favorite because you started with a beater and actully got to improve it, now days in racing games I have a dream car before I even buy tires for my first vehicle. I'd happily ditch the lottery wheel giving me super cars and infinite money before my first race.
I've never liked Forza Hub because it trivialized a lot of the actual progression in the game. Where Horizon 1 started you off with a VW Corrado and let you build from there, with Hub rewards you ended up starting the newer games with 20+ cars, including hypercars that normally should've been a later-game unlock.
I'm sure you'll still be able to buy cars with real money though, right?
