[h2]Join a Thrilling Game of Chase with Hide & Seek[/h2]

Forza Horizon 5 welcomes Hide & Seek, its newest multiplayer experience.
In this brand-new game mode, a group of six players will take part in a game of chases taking on one of two roles.

Hiders are tasked with remaining hidden from their opponents until the End Zone (the location the Hider needs to reach) is revealed. After the End Zone has been disclosed, the Hider will have to reach it before time runs out and before Seekers build enough points to take the win.

On the other hand, Seekers will be tasked with finding and staying close to the Hider. Doing so will earn them points to complete the Seeker’s Detection Meter. Seekers must complete their bar before time runs out and before the Hider reaches the End Zone to put the win under their belt.



Hide & Seek will have its own in-game progression system through which players will be able to earn badges and complete accolades unique to Hide & Seek.



Achievements for this game mode will be available in our next update!

Additionally, we have updated the list of cars which will be available to Seekers:

Built for both comfort and power, the Durango Hellcat can perform like other power rides on the track with its 710-brake horsepower brought to you by its 6.2-liter V8 engine. This means this speedy SUV can reach 100 kmh in just 3.5 seconds.

A new set of Bembo brakes, shocks, and wider tires translate all that raw power into excellent handling for any track or road.

The premier “boy racing car” comes with a 1.5 turbocharged engine that puts out 236 lb-ft of torque, turning any regular, old drive into a race to beat the clock; and this latest version added some neat changes like an ST bodykit, a new grill, and brakes.
