NEW GAME MODE: HIDE & SEEK
Forza Horizon 5 welcomes Hide & Seek, its newest multiplayer experience. In this brand-new game mode, a group of six players will take part in a game of chases taking on one of two roles.
- Hiders are tasked with remaining hidden from their opponents until the End Zone (the location the Hider needs to reach) is revealed. After the End Zone has been disclosed, the Hider will have to reach it before time runs out and before Seekers build enough points to take the win.
- Seekers will be tasked with finding and staying close to the Hiders. Doing so will earn them points to complete the Seeker’s Detection Meter. Seekers must complete their bar before time runs out and before the Hider reaches the End Zone to put the win under their belt.
