Forza Horizon 4 is an open-world racing game developed by Playground Games and Turn 10 Studios. Set in a heavily stylized version of Britain featuring Scotland, the Lake District, Edinburgh, and Cotswolds villages, the game lets players explore beautiful countryside, seaside towns, and city streets.
The game's standout feature is dynamic seasons that change every week in real-time. Each season—spring, summer, autumn, and winter—affects weather conditions, gameplay, and map exploration. Winter freezes lakes for new exploration paths, while autumn brings falling leaves, and summer lets you drive convertibles along the coast.
Forza Horizon 4 features over 450 cars from more than 100 manufacturers, the most varied roster in any Forza Horizon game. Players can customize cars with skins, upgrades, tuning, and drift suspension. The Auction House lets you sell undesirable vehicles to other players.
The game offers multiple gameplay modes:
Horizon Life: Online shared world supporting up to 72 players with the same season and weather
Horizon Solo: Single-player mode with free-roaming Drivatars
The Eliminator: 72-player battle royale mode with head-to-head sprint races
Forzathon Live: Hourly multiplayer events for up to 12 players
Players can participate in regular races, dirt/rally events, street races, showcase events (car vs. hovercraft, car vs. steam train), and barn finds. The custom Route Creator tool lets you design and share your own races.
