Forza Horizon 5 Expansion Pack
Release Date: March 29, 2023
Rally Adventure is the second major expansion to Forza Horizon 5. It adds a new map set in Mexico (Sierra Nueva), offering a new career focusing on road and off-road rallying.
Rally Adventure is the second expansion to Forza Horizon 5 - it's a paid DLC adding a new map and a new career, requiring the base game to function. It was developed by Playground Games and published by Microsoft.
Rally Adventure takes place in the Mexican region of Sierra Nueva, set north from the lands available in the base game. It's a large, separate map consisting of six different biomes. Its most common features are desert and rocky landscapes, as well as twisted narrow roads.
This region is where the Horizon Festival holds a new racing competition. During our new career we can build up reputation with three different teams, participating in different kinds of races (road, gravel, night). Raising our reputation lets us unlock new events and new rewards. Curiously, we're not forced to participate in off-road competitions - the entire expansion can be beaten while sticking only to road races.
A new addition to Rally Adventure are time trials, during which we're accompanied by a pilot reading notes regarding upcoming turns and other obstacles on the track - like in a typical rally game (though the notes here are simplified, and the pilot is sitting in a helicopter rather than our car).
The expansion also includes new cars. There are ten of them, most being high-performance off road vehicles - we've listed them here:
All of the content offered by Forza Horizon 5: Rally Adventure is playable in singleplayer and in online co-op.
The visuals of Rally Adventure are at the same impressive level as the base Forza Horizon 5, although the developers have slightly improved the terrain deformation system for the purposes of off-road racing.

The open-world racing game series, which was born in 2012 as a spin-off of the series Forza Motorsport. Initially, it remained somewhat in the shadow of its older sister, but after a few years it came to the forefront and became one of the most important exclusive titles in Microsoft's catalog. Suffice it to say that Forza Horizon 5 broke the record for the number of players playing simultaneously on the day of release in the publisher's games (more than 4.5 million people). Hand in hand with the excellent sales go the very high ratings received in reviews by subsequent parts of the series. Overseeing the brand since its inception is the British studio Playground Games, in cooperation with the Turn 10 Studios team (authors of Forza Motorsport).

No spectacular releases this month, it seems. However, this doesn't mean that there's nothing to play! There will be plenty to choose from, but don't count on high-profile debuts – rather on humble celebrations and getting ready for spring.

Game Ratings for Forza Horizon 5: Rally Adventure Video Game.
Pure Xbox: 8 / 10 by Liam Doolan
Forza Horizon 5: Rally Adventure is not only a love letter to the actual motorsport but also the video games that have paved the way and inspired series like Horizon. It might not be what everyone was necessarily wanting from the second and likely final expansion for FH5, but the driving experience here is fun from start to finish and remains the core focus - with dirt roads and tracks that will keep you on the edge of your seat, and all sorts of bumps and surprises along the way. It's well worth your time if you're looking for more adventures in the land of Horizon.
XboxEra: 8.8 / 10 by Jesse Norris
Rally Adventure is grounded expansion. Those aren’t typically my favorite in the Horizon series, but this one is the exception. I’m still not a huge fan of the chatter from the NPCs but every other part of this expansion is top-notch. If you love the base game, this is more of it in a better-than-ever package.
Lords Of Gaming : 8.5 / 10 by Mahmood Ghaffar
Forza Horizon 5 Rally Adventure is a wonderfully realized expansion. From the breathtaking vistas to the immersive rally vibes, the latest DLC adds to the Forza Horizon experience. And that’s precisely what expansions should do. Some might be disappointed that there is no franchise tie-in. However, Sierra Nueva is guaranteed to leave a positive impression.
