What you need to know
The Day of the Dead is approaching, being celebrated in Mexico and other parts of the world on Nov. 1 and Nov. 2, and Xbox is looking to get in on the celebrations. In collaboration with actor Xolo Maridueña,Xbox has created a custom livery for Día de Muertos in Forza Horizon 4, built on the powerful and sleek 2020 Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray. The colorful and geometric designs of the livery are an appropriate homage to everything that makes Día de Muertos special, even if it’s just a small gesture in a video game.
Of course, this isn’t a one-off design. Any player who logs intoForza Horizon 4before Dec. 31, 2021 can add the Día de Muertos liveried car to their collection for free, just by redeeming it through the in-game Message Center. Even better, this car will also be given to players for free inForza Horizon 5, which launches in early access on Nov. 5, 2021 (with a wider release on Nov. 9). Combined withForza Horizon 5’s Loyalty Rewards, many players are going to start off with a pretty impressive garage in FH5.
Forza Horizon 5 is the next chapter of Forza Horizon, and brings the long-running series to Mexico with itslargest and most diverse map yet. In ourForza Horizon 5 preview, we were given plenty of reasons to believe that Forza Horizon 5 is destined to be one of thebest Xbox racing gamesof all time.
Forza Horizon 5 is now available to preorder, and officially releases in one week for some players (Nov. 5). If you want to get into the game as soon as possible, here’s when Forza Horizon 5 launches, and how you can preload.
