For those who are set to play Forza Horizon 5 when it releases on Sony's console, here's what you can expect from the included DLC.

New Locations & Unlockable Cars

The Forza Horizon 5 Premium Edition on PS5 takes racing to a new level, adding the sky-high excitement of Hot Wheels Park and the rugged terrain of Sierra Nueva. With the Premium Edition, you will get early access to these adrenaline-fueled game modes, making it a must-have for any racing fan.

The Hot Wheels Park

Strap yourself to the seat for the roller coaster ride of a lifetime because Hot Wheels Park comes to Forza Horizon 5, but even better, it is an enormous racing playground that enjoys its very own 212 kilometers or 131 miles of orange track. With high loops, steep banked turns, gravity-defying roads, and exhilarating jumps, every race is an adrenaline ride.

This macro-sized expansion houses many disparate environments within it, each promising to present its unique challenges that will surely revive the excitement on Forza Horizon 5 Hot Wheels. Feel the fervor of Ice Cauldron, where blistering lava flows smash icy roads, then glide through Forest Falls, a poky biome lined with towering trees and cascading waterfalls.

Then, summon speed to its zenith in Giant's Canyon, an open area throbbing with revving engines and high-flying stunts. At the heart of it all is Horizon Nexus, a floating hub that brings the festival to life while suspended in the sweeping network of twisted Hot Wheels tracks.

Going purely by their scenery, these tracks are fun entertainment, not at all less than any other thing. Water Flumes are for you to hurdle through, navigate a set of icy hurdles to Ice Tracks, and finally get ready for a bone-rattling ride that will be on Rumble Tracks.

Challenge gravity with Magnet Tracks, where upside-down running is possible. Then, hit your Speed Boosts to jump into warp-speed action. The most incredible stunt of all time would be flying Air Tracks that send your vehicle off at speeds that cause only sight-induced awe.

Indeed, the expansion not only brings challenges to test you, but it also brings game-inspired cars to reward you.

Sierra Nueva

Do you have what it takes to drive on Sierra Nueva in Rally Adventures? The exotic setting spread over 16.2 square kilometers of assorted terrain with 61 km of tortuous roads is a test of a contender's skills, speed, and adaptability.

Each course presents a new challenge, from the winding trails of the mountains and roads with blind crests, to jumps soaring off asphalt and rugged, sandy tracks scarred with pre-formed tire ruts.

A lush forest with towering coconut trees and a cascading waterfall, creating a tropical paradise.

The town of Pueblo Artza presents a scenic yet perilous set of urban streets, crisscrossed with undulating hills and containing the Desert Gorge, with its nerve-testing asphalt hairpins and splendidly painted murals on steep rock walls.

Green Hills opens up as a grassy stretch with a running stream ideally suited for the ultimate speed run. In the Palm Forest, towering trees, cascading waterfalls, and probably the best sights of the festival set the stage for rally action.

The Abandoned Quarry, for those who want pure madness, is the industrial wasteland with loose sand and large machines, a place where reckless driving is condoned. Next, there are Rugged Dunes, an endless ocean of golden sand, the ultimate paddock for off-road machines to vent their anger. While traversing technical trails or flooring it, every conceivable inch in Sierra Nueva is built for hard-core rally thrills.
