Forza Horizon 5 Announcement Trailer: Featured Cars

Star Cars From Forza Horizon 5: Trailer Announcement

The Forza Horizon 5 Announcement trailer showcased by Microsoft Studios at the E3 2021 event features some marvellous cars like Mercedes AMG Project One, Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray, Rimac Concept Two (Nevera), Koenigsegg Jesko and many more.

Forza is one of the most popular racing franchises. It has been a great showcase of the graphical capabilities of the Xbox Consoles. While its Motorsport division focuses more on-track racing, the Horizon series focuses on racing in fictional representations of real-world areas with free roam. From the third game, the Horizon series finally came to Windows PCs and that’s when it began to really shine. The series is so popular that when the Forza Horizon 4 launched on Steam, it had 14,609 concurrent players on the launch day. After one week of launch, it was already a bestseller on the platform.
