It was initially believed that the Forza Horizon 5: Hot Wheels announcement would appear during Summer Game Fest 2022, in order to give the Forza Motorsport reboot more room to breathe, but earlier speculation was proven false. The award-winning open-world racing game made plenty of noise during Xbox’s biggest 2022 event, with a flashy trailer showcasing all the action in store for players jumping into the Hot Wheels expansion.

Forza Horizon 5: Hot Wheels features four brand-new open-world areas to explore, 10 new Hot Wheels vehicles to collect, a standalone campaign through which players can progress, miles of Hot Wheels tracks, stunts, and races, and plenty of content additions to FH5’s EventLab creator, so that players can create their own Hot Wheels experiences.

When it arrives on July 19, 2022, the Forza Horizon 5: Hot Wheels expansion will be available as a standalone purchase for $20, as well as through the Expansions Bundle DLC, the Premium Add-Ons Bundle DLC, and Forza Horizon 5 Premium Edition.

It’s practically irrefutable that Forza Horizon 5 counts among the best racing games you can play today, but many players have lamented that the existing content is beginning to grow a little stale so far after launch. With the Forza Horizon 5 Hot Wheels DLC expansion, players are about to get a new world location, more Hot Wheels cars, additional races and content, and more.
