The new game in the series features a large open world based in Mexico, with various biomes and weather conditions. Forza 5’s map is the largest yet in the franchise, with jungles, beaches, mountains, snowy areas, temples, and even an active volcano. The game uses accurate geographic data to recreate some of the central regions of the North American country. It’s the same technology used by the Microsoft Flight Simulator series, allowing you to portray places like the Sonoran Desert and the Yucatan rainforest.

The story will also allow players to create their characters to drive cars in different events. There are short stories and missions with certain characters whose personalities are more profound during the game and the local culture. There’s a quest, for example, where Alejandra, whom you meet in the campaign, asks for help restoring her grandfather’s Beetle. During the task, the user learns the name given to cars of the type in Mexico: Vocho.

One of the great new features of Forza 5 is the presence of accessibility features, which promise to facilitate fun for players with special needs. The game has visual modifications such as high contrast mode, color blindness filters, in addition to customizing subtitles, menu, font size, and text narration (both text-to-speech and voice-to-text).

There’s even support for significant modifications, such as disabling background movement, reducing overall game speed, and a “Tourist” difficulty mode in which it’s easy to outrun other competitors. The game also features Xbox Adaptive Controller support. Another feature that comes to the title is the presence of a sign language interpreter, but, at first, Xbox did not detail whether there would be an option for Libras for Brazilian users.
