Need to know when the Forza Horizon 5 Hot Wheels release time is? The racing expansion is available now, so you can buy the pack and start bolting across orange bits of track right away. This Hot Wheels collaboration gives the Horizon Festival in Mexico get an upgrade in the form of the Horizon Hot Wheels Park - a massive toy track in the clouds. You’ll be able to race in this new Forza Horizon 5 area, get 10 powerful, new cars, and create your own Hot Wheels tracks. Here’s when the Forza Horizon 5 Hot Wheels DLC launches.

What time does the Forza Horizon 5 Hot Wheels DLC come out?

In the Hot Wheels DLC, you’ll unlock the new Horizon Hot Wheels Park area, which features some of the fastest and most ridiculous circuits ever seen in a Forza game. Racing around the iconic orange track strips, you’ll be flying around banked corners and massive loops in all the usual cars and some new ones.

The Forza Horizon 5 best cars should help you make a good start in the Hot Wheels DLC

There are 10 more cars for you to collect too, including the Chevrolet Hot Wheels COPO Camaro, 2021 Hennessey Venom F5, and Hot Wheels Bad to the Blade. If you’re also into building your own tracks, you’ll want to take a look at the 80+ Hot Wheels track pieces that will be added to the Eventlab mode. Finally, there’s also a Horizon Story themed around the DLC for you to complete and the usual array of Accolades for bonus rewards if you’re up for a unique challenge.

You can buy the Forza Horizon 5 DLC right now for £14.99/$19.99. If you're a Game Pass subscriber, you will still have to pay for the Hot Wheels DLC but you save 10% and won’t have to buy Forza Horizon 5 as that’s still on Game Pass for PC and Xbox.

However, if you own the Forza Horizon 5 Expansion Bundle, Premium Add-Ons Bundle, or Forza Horizon 5 Premium Edition, you will already have the Hot Wheels expansion and won’t need to buy it! Owning any of those premium game items will also give you access to the second Forza Horizon 5 expansion when that launches, although that hasn’t even been announced yet.

We've already sunk a few hours into the new DLC from Playground Games. Our initial impression? The Forza Horizon 5 Hot Wheels DLC made us feel like kids again.
