What a stormer. Forza Horizon 5 is boasting a player base of over 800,000 people from across the globe and the kicker is, it’s not even launched yet.

Set in Mexico, players cruise through the rainforests, put the pedal to the metal in arid deserts and tear through the sleepy streets of its towns.
“Each environment is absolutely stunning and unique, and you can feel how certain cars perform much better depending on the area that you’re driving in, making you truly appreciate the power behind those wheels,” said Dean in his review (which you can read right here).
