Forza Horizon 4 News

Welcome to Series 69! This week Forza Horizon 4 on Steam received an update to fix an incompatibility between the game and NVIDIA drivers newer than 522.25 versions that resulted in a potential client crash. Check it out and let us know how it's running for you!

This series is also your chance to earn 100% completion on the Festival Playlist and unlock the “Encore?” achievement.


Race for victory alongside your team in The Trial and emerge in first place to secure the track-tuned 2018 Lamborghini Huracán Performante. Before its debut in Forza Horizon 4, this was the number one most required car on the official Forza Forums, which is also where you’ll find like-minded drivers for this week’s Festival Playlist.

The Performante features reworked suspension, recalibrated steering, and a reported 750% more downforce than its road counterpart! At the time, it also broke the production car record at the prestigious Nürburgring Nordschleife with a lap-time of 6 minutes and 52 seconds, which Lamborghini attributes to the car’s more advanced aerodynamics system, which adjusts micro flaps on the Huracan to decrease drag and increase downforce as necessary.


This week’s Festival Playlist events and rewards are available until Thursday, December 21 while the overall series rewards are available for the next four weeks.

SERIES REWARDS:

• 50% Completion – Horizon Backstage Pass
  
• 80% Completion – 1991 Nissan Pulsar GTI-R

SUMMER REWARDS:

Autumn leaves scatter along the British roads as this week brings another opportunity to unlock exclusive cars and cosmetics on the Festival Playlist, most notably headlined by the 1999 Ford Racing Puma, a front-wheel drive retro rally car by the American automotive giant sold exclusively in the UK.

What makes the Puma an incredibly rare and peculiar car is that out of the 1,000 Racing Pumas that were planned, only 500 of those ever rolled off the production line. This was also the final limited-edition Puma produced and it features an advanced 4-piston motorsport braking system, a beefed-up body with lightweight aluminum components, and a racing-inspired interior.
