Forza Horizon 5 โ buy Mexico's racing festival as a Steam Gift
Forza Horizon 5 is an open-world arcade-sim car festival from Playground Games (published by Xbox Game Studios), released on November 9, 2021. This time the action moves to a vibrant, enormous Mexico: beaches, jungles, canyons, a volcano, sandstorms and lively towns, all of it there to be crossed in hundreds of licensed cars. Here you get the game as a Steam Gift for PC โ a bot sends a copy to your account via a friend invite link. Below: what's inside the game, how the editions differ and how delivery works.
What Forza Horizon 5 is
Horizon is not about a stern simulator โ it is about the sheer joy of driving. You arrive at a festival of speed and are free to do whatever you like: race on tarmac and off-road, drift, set records in speed zones, pull off spectacular stunts or just cruise through gorgeous scenery. Progression is gentle and friendly: every activity earns points and new cars, and difficulty and driving assists scale just as flexibly for a newcomer as for a hardcore player.
A huge Mexico as your map
The Forza Horizon 5 map is one of the most varied in the series. In a single drive you can go from a tropical coast through dense jungle and canyons to the foot of an active volcano, get caught in a sandstorm and return to a bustling town. Changing seasons transform the whole world: winter opens new routes, rain turns dirt roads to mud, and the dry season reveals tracks unavailable at other times. The world feels alive and is a treat for the eyes even without a race.
Cars and tuning
The garage holds hundreds of cars from every era and class: from classic muscle and rally monsters to hypercars and off-roaders. Each car can be finely tuned to your style โ from gear ratios to weight distribution โ or you can just grab a ready community preset. A separate joy for creative players is the livery editor and sharing: the community paints anything from anime wraps to accurate replica race liveries.
Online, co-op and EventLab
Forza Horizon 5 plays great solo, but truly opens up online. You form convoys with friends and roam the world together, join co-op Horizon Tour events, compete in PvP modes and weekly series. A world of its own is EventLab, a builder for tracks and rules where players create wild challenges and share them. Crossplay is supported, so you can invite friends from different platforms.
Editions: Standard, Deluxe and Premium
Let's be honest, because here the difference is not cosmetic but about content.
- Standard โ the base game: the entire open world of Mexico, core cars and activities. A great entry if you don't need expansions right away.
- Deluxe โ base game plus the Car Pass: dozens of extra cars that unlock on a schedule.
- Premium โ the fullest option: the Car Pass, Welcome Pack (starter cars and bonuses), VIP status (doubled portion of rewards and exclusives) and both story expansions โ Hot Wheels and Rally Adventure.
If you want it all at once with no add-ons later, grab Premium; if only the base matters, Standard; Deluxe is the middle ground for extra cars.
The Hot Wheels and Rally Adventure expansions
Two big expansions noticeably widen the game. Hot Wheels (2022) takes you to floating orange tracks in the sky with loops, boosters and dead drops โ a separate arcade campaign on a flying island. Rally Adventure (2023) is the Sierra Nueva rally region with mud, gravel and dedicated rally cars. Both are part of Premium, and can be bought separately for Standard and Deluxe.
Russian and other languages
Localisation is solid: the interface and subtitles are translated into Russian, and menus, prompts and dialogue read without issues. There is no Russian voice-over โ the festival hosts speak other languages โ but all the text is in Russian.
How the gift delivery works
We deliver Forza Horizon 5 as a Steam Gift. You provide your friend invite link (like s.team/p/...) and account region, and the bot adds itself, sends the gift and leaves your friends list after delivery. You do not need to accept the friend request, and Steam Guard is not required. Note: to play online, Forza on Steam will ask you once to link a free Microsoft (Xbox) account โ this is a standard publisher requirement, not something tied to buying from us.
Region, library and system requirements
A Steam gift is tied to the region of the lot: your account region must match the gift region, and the game must not already be in the recipient's library. If the conditions are not met, the gift will not be accepted โ but the funds return to your site balance. On the hardware side the game is well optimised and runs on a wide range of PCs, though high settings and 4K benefit from a strong graphics card โ check the current requirements on the Steam page.
Payment and support
You can pay with Russian cards, via SBP, with cryptocurrency or from your site balance. Enter a promo code in the field at checkout โ the discount recalculates before payment. Registration is optional, but an account is handy for tracking status. Any questions about receiving the gift or linking a Microsoft account โ write to the site chat and we will help.
Forza Horizon 5 is a gorgeous open world, hundreds of cars, friendly progression and a lively online scene with convoys and EventLab. Pick the edition for the amount of content you want, enter the correct region and your invite link โ and soon after ordering the gift will be in your Steam library. See you at the festival of speed! ๐
