To catch up on the announcement and everything else new to the world of Forza, be sure to rewatch the most recent Forza Monthly episode on Mixer. The Service Check update doesn't yet have a release date but it would be safe to assume it will land at the end of the current four weekly cycle sometime in late November. Is the Forza Horizon 4 Expansions Bundle worth it? No announced release date It's not part of the Service Check update directly, but it's a first look at what's to come beyond that. Playground Games says its the largest expansion they've ever built packed with extreme terrain and some form of hidden treasure hunt. If you don't have the Ultimate Edition you can buy these ahead of time individually (there's currently two planned) or in a bundle. There are hundreds of cars left for me to unlock, and while I'm prepared for that to be an ongoing reason to play the game, some inevitably just want it all, now.The first DLC was officially revealed at X018 in Mexico, and it'll be taking us to Fortune Island from mid-December. But if you're the right mix of compulsive and impatient, I can see the draw. This does raise a question: is there any reason to actually do this? To my mind, no-Forza Horizon 5 has already handed me more cars than I will realistically drive, even despite the restrictions present in the seasonal playlist. The AFK potential here means you can walk away for a few hours and come back to a decent chunk of skill points that can be turned into Super Wheelspins. Really, then, it's the combination of these entirely normal features-along with a little controller DIY-that makes it arguably illicit. So is the skill system-in fact, it's less efficient to earn skills via a long, easy race than it is to just mess about in the open world for a couple of hours bashing into cacti. The Event Lab is a way for players to create their own track, easy or hard long or short.

As mentioned, auto-steering is an accessibility option. Is this an exploit? Kind of, but it's the sneaky sort of exploit that combines a bunch of systems performing as intended to generate the desired result. Sure, the 1987 Pontiac Firebird requires a whole 14 skill points to get there, but it only costs 25,000 credits. By banking a huge number of skill points, players are again turning to cheap cars to unlock Super Wheelspins.
