Forza Horizon 5 gets its latest update, Horizons Cars and Coffee, rolling out to players on 16th July 2024. There is a full lineup of exciting features and vehicles in the update 36. Playground Games once again takes center stage to bump up its open-world racing experience with this heftier-than-usual update, which brings a new car meet location and several new cars into the fray. Here’s a detailed look at what you can expect from the Forza 5 update.
New Coffee Shop Location
Car Meet Spot
The new coffee shop location is the centerpiece of the Horizons Cars and Coffee update. Situated at the West End of the Long Highway, this spot is perfect for car meets. Built on an elevated platform, it features four ramps for entry and a unique swirly pattern of parking spots around the perimeter.
Coffee Shop
The coffee shop itself is constructed from shipping containers. On one side, there’s a drive-thru where you can pretend to order coffee. The other side features a photo booth, ideal for taking ultra-realistic studio shots. The booth illuminates beautifully at night, making it perfect for nighttime photography. Additionally, the coffee shop area includes three smaller platforms, one of which resembles the Horizon 1 throwback festival site.
An Unofficial Hub
Although the coffee shop doesn’t introduce any new in-game functions, it provides a convenient location for you to take studio photos of their cars and gather for car meets. It could become an unofficial hub for all players in a Horizon Life lobby.
