Playground Games held its monthly Forza Horizon 5 Let"s Go stream, during which it announced a new free content update for the game. Dubbed "Apex AllStars," the latest update focuses on GT racing cars with five new seasonal reward vehicles, some highly-requested improvements for road building in EventLab, a new car pack, and more.
During the next four weeks (the series begins this Thursday), Forza Horizon 5 players will get a chance to earn five exclusive reward cars:

The update will also allow you to purchase the 2024 Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray, which was previously available only as a loyalty reward for those who played Forza Motorsport.
