The full map of Forza Horizon 5 offers a number of unique and immersive landscapes to check out for yourself.

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.

Guanajuato is beautifully rendered in Forza Horizon 5 and the narrow spaces will quickly teach you why part of the city is called the Callejón del Beso, or Alley of the Kiss, where opposing balconies are close enough together for couples to kiss each other.

On the other side of the spectrum, the volcanic scenes of La Gran Caldera offer a more barren and earthy view of things.

The splotches of green grass and white snow along with the open-air feeling in this area directly contrast the bright colors and tight confines of the city, creating a completely different experience for players to maneuver through.

La Gran Caldera offers a breathtaking view and invites players to closely examine the mountainous walls around them.

These environments combine to make a sprawling and lively world for players to explore, making the thrill of racing around the map or hunting down those vintage Barn Finds that much sweeter.
