Forza Horizon Video Game Series

Subsequent games expand the palette of available activities. While the first Forza Horizon offered mainly races on asphalt and gravel (including special demonstration competitions, in which the player behind the wheel of a car faced, for example, an airplane or a train), they were quickly joined by such activities as cross-country rallies in the wilderness, story-driven missions (e.g. wilderness expeditions, cab courses) or obstacle courses constructed by the players themselves. Similarly, the range of available multiplayer features is expanding, making it increasingly similar to Forza Horizon to an MMO game. Open worlds are "populated" by dozens of users, who can join clubs or so-called convoys and take part in all kinds of cooperative competitions. Forza Horizon 4 has even introduced a local equivalent of battle royale mode (Eliminator).

The number - going into the hundreds - and variety of available vehicles is also growing.. In addition to all sorts of sports cars (older and newer), we get a growing variety of rally cars, off-roaders or trucks. There is also no shortage of classic racing cars (including pre-war) or cult models that do not evoke associations with high-performance driving (such as Citroen 2CV). Each machine can be modified - both mechanically and visually (in terms of both painting the body in fancy patterns and replacing bumpers or spoilers). Players can exchange paint jobs or tuning configurations, as well as sell cars to each other through the auction house.

First Forza Horizon, released in 2012, came to the Xbox 360 console and was set in the American state of Colorado. The sequel, relocated to the borderlands of France and Italy on the Mediterranean coast, went on sale two years later, already on the X360 and Xbox One (with the former version, developed by Sumo Digital studio, being drastically truncated). "Three" from 2016 took players to Australia and put them in the role of organizers of the Horizon Festival; it was the first installment to be released on PC as well. Released two years later Forza Horizon 4 was set in the United Kingdom, which changed weekly according to the rhythm of the cycle of the seasons. Fans had to wait a year longer for "five" than for previous installments - until 2021. - but this made the map of Mexico contained in it noticeably larger than previous (a FH4 was developed with updates with free content for more than an average length of time). This installment hit the Xbox Series X and S in addition to PC and XOne.
