Forza Horizon 5 map and locations

The full map is made up of 11 different biomes that each offer a distinct depiction of the world. Each of these biomes is affected by the changing of seasons and will feel different depending on what season you’re currently in.

For example, the city of Guanajuato brings a touch of the hustle-and-bustle of everyday life to the table, showing off a stylistic recreation of the city known for its narrow streets and alleyways.
