Is the Forza Horizon 5 VIP Membership DLC worth it?
Bonuses now and later
Forza Horizon 5includes a ton of optional DLC that players can purchase to enhance their experience or add additional content. One such DLC returns from previous games, with the Forza Horizon 5 VIP Membership featuring a wide number of benefits to players both when first starting out and when continuing to play. The VIP Membership is well worth it for players planning to invest lots of time into FH5, but it’s also included in the value-driven Premium Add-Ons Bundle alongside plenty of other DLCs.
With the Forza Horizon 5 VIP Membership, instant bonuses include exclusiveForza Edition cars, aPlayer House, and cosmetic goodies. However, the VIP Membership actually shows its value in long-term play, with increased rewards from races and events, extra Wheelspins to earn even more over time, and more. This makes the VIP Membership significantly more valuable for players who fully intend to sink dozens of hours into Playground’s open-world racer.
If anything should make you hesitate before purchasing the VIP Membership DLC, it’s the existence of theForza Horizon 5 Premium Add-Ons Bundle, which includes all the DLC and add-ons featured in Forza Horizon 5 Premium Edition (yes, that means the VIP Membership is here as well). The Premium Add-Ons Bundle is far more expensive than the VIP Membership by itself, but includes a ton of additional perks and content on top of it. If you’re planning to play Forza Horizon 5 enough to make the VIP Membership a no-brainer, the Premium Add-Ons Bundle will give you additional cars, in-game content, and eventual expansions.

Lasting effects
The Forza Horizon 5 VIP Membership DLC provides plenty of immediate and lasting bonuses to players to make it worth the asking price, and only increases in value the more you play FH5.
