Synchronous Day and Night Cycle

Taking a page from the books of Metropolis Street Racer and Burnout Paradise, it would be nice if we had the option to synchronize the time of day in-game with the actual time in the real world. For instance, if I am playing the game at 8 PM PST, then the time in-game is also 8 PM PST. This would naturally be different for everybody since every player lives in different time zones, and since there are probably plenty of people who don’t want this feature, or the feature can’t be replicated when connected to multiplayer servers, players should have the option to turn this feature on or off, and it should only be functional when in Horizon Solo (or, better yet, a private lobby, if we ever get any).

Metropolis Street Racer’s time select for the synchronous day and night cycle mechanic as an example.

Throw in dynamic weather based on user location and I’m sold!
