A new Forza Horizon 5 update is live on Xbox One, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, and PC alongside patch notes that not only reveal everything developer Playground Games has done to the game with the update, but details everything that has been changed and improved. The only thing we don't know about the update is the file size or, in other words, how long the update will take to download.

As for the contents of the update, there's nothing too major. The update is substantial, but it's more because of the number of changes and improvements as opposed to any sole thing. We know the game is getting new cars soon, but they haven't been added with this update.

Below, you can check out the update's complete and official patch notes, courtesy of Playground Games:
