Everything that Forza Horizon 5 players can expect when the next series rolls around has been shown off on Forza's Let's Go! stream, including plenty of cars from the 1990's.

Nostalgic for the 90's? Playground Games hears your yearnings for a time of boy bands, flannel shirts, CDs and VHS tapes. In the upcoming Back to the 90's series for Forza Horizon 5, players can earn to unlock new reward cars from this decade.

Along with that though, the return of a feature present in the previous title Forza Horizon 4, the Horizon Backstage. Working with the rest of the playerbase, two new cars will become available to acquire depending on which ones win the community vote.


All of this was revealed in the latest Forza Let's Go! stream, so here is a round-up of everything you can expect in Forza Horizon 5 starting 7 October.

Back to the 90's​

Starting on 10 October, the first of the four new cars will become available to unlock as part of the Summer Festival Playlist, the Toyota Soarer 2.5 GT-T '97. Then every week after that will be another new car with each corresponding season, with the Mitsubishi FTO GP Version R '98 being the car for the Autumn Festival Playlist from 17 October.

For the Winter Festival Playlist starting 24 October, the polarising looking Aston Martin Lagonda '90 will be the car players can pick up. Then finally from 31 October, the car for the Spring Festival Playlist is the Subaru SVX '96.

Players can earn each car by acquiring 20 points, but earning 40 can score players a Horizon Backstage Pass which is the next big feature coming out of this season. This feature can help players get hold of previous limited time availability cars, with players getting to decide which selection of two cars become available the following week.

There will be some cars already in the Backstage Shop including the Fiat 131 Abarth '80, BMW M4 Competition Coupe '21, Cadillac XTS Limousine '13, Mercedes-Benz 280 SL '67, Pagani Huayra BC '16 and Rivian R1S '22. Tune in to the Backstage Vote every week to see which two of the four cars to choose from will join those aforementioned cars.

In addition to all of this plus some 90's nostalgia stickers and era clothing for your drivatar, there are some new achievements for players to pick up in the new Hide & Seek gamemode. If you want to learn more, head over to Forza's own blog post.

I'm not FH player but I would say Mitsubishi FTO is a winner in my personal ranking here:) The looser are outfits with vibe for 'modern audience' but not the great 90's:cautious:
BTW Image from the main page reminds me Dirt 5 cover;)
