Playground Games has just unveiled its upcoming Forza Horizon 5 DLC pack, 'Rally Adventure', but the team has also been hard at work delivering the game's latest Series update in the meantime.
The 'Horizon Wilds Takeover' links in nicely to next month's Rally Adventure expansion, with the game's dirt racing discipline taking over the Festival Playlist for the next month or so. As usual, this latest Series update is free for all players with its content going live tomorrow, March 2nd, ahead of this month's paid expansion.
