Forza Horizon 5 vs Forza Horizon 4
The short answer
Horizon 5 is the better game to start now — bigger car list, better handling model and it is still supported. Horizon 4's Britain and its four seasons give it more variety of scenery, and many players prefer its map for that reason alone.
What they have in common
Same open-world arcade racing formula: no wrong way to drive, constant events, and a rewind button that removes all frustration.
Pick Horizon 5 for the cars and the support.
Mexico's map has the most varied terrain in the series and EventLab lets players build their own tracks. It is the one with people in it.
Pick Horizon 4 for the seasons.
The weekly season change transforms the whole map, and the British setting is the series' most characterful.
