Performance & Graphics (PC & Console)

PC: Ray tracing now applies to AI cars during gameplay (previously only player cars in Forzavista). Expect a 10-15% FPS drop if Ultra RT is enabled.

Xbox Series S: The 60 FPS mode now runs at a dynamic 1080p (up from 900p). The 30 FPS quality mode adds screen-space global illumination.

Steam Deck: Version 1.607.493 includes a specific Steam Deck preset that locks the game to 40 FPS with low shadows but high texture detail.

If you see 1.600.803 -E in your game’s file manifest but 1.607.493 on the title screen, it means you have all the content but not the latest hotfix for the Retrowave event rewards. Conversely, players who see 1.607.493 -E fully have both the Retrowave content and all subsequent stability patches.

Part 1: Understanding the Version Gap – What Does 1.600.803 to 1.607.493 Represent?

Before diving into car lists and event changes, it is essential to understand the nomenclature. Forza Horizon 5 uses a semantic versioning system:

Car Pass additions: The update added the 2025 Porsche Taycan Turbo GT (the most powerful production Porsche ever) and a nostalgic 1998 Nissan 240SX (S14) with a new rocket bunny kit.

Snow & Tyre physics: Snow tyres were nerfed slightly on asphalt but improved on ice; rear-wheel-drive cars became more controllable on the mountain top using controller vibration feedback.

The update adds a collection of "sleeper" cars and modern daily drivers that pack a punch. 2023 BMW M2 : The star of the series (80 points). 2023 Toyota Camry TRD : Includes a unique Battle Arrow widebody kit. 2021 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat : For those who need a family SUV with 700+ horsepower. 2023 Ford Fiesta ST & 2022 Ford Focus ST : Modern hot hatches with Maxton Design customization options.
