Playground Games has now detailed Forza Horizon 5's new Hide and Seek mode, which will be coming to the Xbox racing game on September 10.Forza Horizon 5 gets new 5v1 Hide and Seek mode on September 10Forza Horizon 5's Hide and Seek is a new multiplayer mode for up to six players. At the start of a round, players are randomly assigned one of two roles: Hider or Seeker. As the Hider, your task is to speed across the map to a specific location within a set amount of time without being caught by the team of Seekers. You will need to blend into traffic and use the environment to your advantage to reach your destination before the timer runs out or the Seekers grab enough points for the win. The Hider will be able to use the following cars: 2012 Jeep Wrangler2017 Ford F-150 Raptor2017 Chevrolet Colorado ZR22018 Mercedes X ClassThe remaining five players in a round will take on the role of Seekers, who fill up their Detection Meter by finding the Hider and staying close. If your team maxes out the meter, you win. Seekers will have these cars at their disposal: 2016 BMW M4 GTS2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL12011 Mercedes SLS AMG2015 Audi RS62008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X GSR2021 Ford BroncoPlayground notes that all cars used in this mode, for both the Hider and Seekers, will only be available in their stock formats. The game is split into two phases, each lasting four minutes. In the first phase, the Hider must remain hidden while Seekers "make their best effort to locate them before this phase ends and lock on their position to fill the Seeker’s Detection Meter and ensure the win." In the second phase, a random End Zone will become active. The Seekers then have four minutes to find the Hider before they reach the End Zone.Interestingly, both the Hider and Seekers have special abilities they can use to achieve their objectives. The Seekers can utilize a radar pointing to the Hider's rough location. Once the Hider has been found, Seekers can use a Ping ability to lock onto their location and reveal the Hider on the map for 20 seconds for other players to follow. Hiders have a special ability called Chase Breaker, which, when activated, will "force-brake the Seekers and turn off their Radar and Ping for 20 seconds." It will also turn the Hider's car into a ghost, which means they can "pass through any smashable object in the game." Of course, all of these abilities have a cooldown, so use them sparingly. Playground has also confirmed that Hide and Seek will have its own progression track where you can earn XP exclusively for this game mode, level up, and earn badges. There will be new accolades tied to Hide and Seek to unlock, as well as some new achievements. Sadly, this batch of achievements won't be available at the launch of Hide and Seek and instead "will be released in a future update in October."In other Forza Horizon news, Playground Games is delisting Forza Horizon 4 later this year, so if you don't yet own a copy, you might want to think about picking one up ASAP.More Forza Horizon 5 stories: The best Xbox Game Pass games to play in September 2024 Xbox to have 50+ titles at Gamescom 2024, presentations of major exclusives, and more Best Xbox exclusives — Must play games for your Xbox Series X|S Most popular Xbox games — Fallout continues to dominate Best Xbox Battle Royales: Fantastic competitive games for solos and squads Game UpdateXbox Game PassPC Game PassXbox Series X|SWindowsXbox One Written by Sean CareyA big fan of Xbox achievements, Sean has committed to playing as many of the best RPGs, racing games, and first-person shooters on and off Xbox Game Pass as possible.
