Forza Horizon 5 Season Change: Every Day I’m Musclin’

[admin]

​

We're into the final stretch of the current Forza Horizon 5 series, with the latest season change that begins today.

"High Performance Dailies" takes a look at those rapid, everyday cars with a month-long set of challenges and rewards all about daily drivers with some get up and go.

There's a bit more of a compact look to things this month, with a slightly smaller playlist and only four new reward cars instead of the usual five — and no DLC pack this time round.

However, along with four new Apex Racing routes (and start points for EventLab), PG has been cooking up something exciting for next month which we'll learn about soon.

Series 37: High Performance Dailies

​

This month's Playlist is a little smaller than some recent ones — in fact all-but one in 2024 — at just 288pt, but 100% completion requires only 232pt due to the 56 available in the DLC packs. They're split evenly to 72pt per season.

You'll need the usual 80 and 160 points for the two overall Series reward cars, and while neither are new to the game, they are both Playlist exclusives. Hit the targets and you'll collect the BMW M2 and Lucid Air Sapphire respectively.

Series 37 Spring/Hot Season Rewards

​

Two range-topping performance badges are up this week, as the Hellcat-engined Dodge Durango SRT — the cover car for the series — is available at 20pt, while there's another chance to collect the 2021 BMW M3 at 40pt.

Spring will run until 1430UTC on Thursday September 12, bringing Series 37 to a close along with it. We'll find out more about their replacements — Summer of Series 38, "Hidden Horizons" — later this week.

Series 37 Spring Playlist: Forzathon Events

​

This week's Forzathon Weekly Challenge requires the Alfa Romeo Giulia QV saloon. Each of the seven Daily Challenges — one new event each day at 1430 UTC — awards its usual point.

Mostly the events are not particularly involved, but note for the Sunny Side Up Daily Challenge you'll need to head into Photo Mode settings to set the correct time of day.

Series 37 Spring Playlist: Season Events

​

Only the Trial remains as a pure multiplayer events in Season Events this week, requiring an Xbox Live Core subscription (unless you play on PC) in order to have access to online multiplayer.

Beware that it's a dirt racing event and, even at the low A Class (701-800PI) and with all-wheel drive required, that will mean chaos from incompetent team-mates as you try to outpoint the "Unbeatable" AI team.

Once again the three PR Stunts all require the same car type — a B Class (601-700PI) Hot Hatch — and it's a cluster of off-road events near San Juan. None pose too much difficulty, but you will need a solid run for the Trailblazer.

The Seasonal Championships offer racing on solid ground, with a Street Racing event for B Class (601-700PI) Hot and Super Hot Hatch cars in Guanajuato at Midnight, and the Euro to Go! Road Racing event for A Class (701-800PI) "High Performance Dailies" from Europe.

Two final EventLab routes are available this week, with these community-created courses selected by Playground Games for the slightly different challenges they pose. Finally there's a Horizon Arcade challenge, which you can complete by finishing round three of any of the event types.

Series 37 Spring Playlist: Challenges

​

The three challenges this week include The Eliminator — with its usual challenge of finishing 30th or better — which is an online multiplayer event requiring XBox Live Core.

You'll need to head back to the Horizon Test Track for the Treasure Hunt, applying any upgrade to any Ford Focus RS model while in the test track mode to reveal the Treasure Chest — this week in the yard of the building overlooking the reservoir on its south shores.
