It's been almost a full year since we've had any new Forza Horizon 5 achievements, but that's about to change. The Series 39 update, which rolls out to all players on October 8, brings ten new Forza Horizon 5 Hide and Seek achievements to unlock.

Last month, Playground Games added a new mode to Forza Horizon 5 called Hide and Seek. In this new 5v1 multiplayer mode, players will be given one of two roles: Hider or Seekers. The hider has to blend into traffic and use the landscape to their advantage to sneak to a destination on the map, whereas the team of seekers has to find the hider and stop them from reaching the goal. A game of Hide and Seek is split into two phases, each lasting four minutes, and both teams have special abilities they can use to try and gain the upper hand.

When Hide and Seek was added, Playground Games confirmed that a new list of Xbox achievements tied to the mode would be coming to Forza Horizon 5 in October. We can now confirm there will be ten Forza Horizon 5 Hide and Seek achievements to unlock. Looking at the list, you'll need to complete and win matches as both a hider and seeker, drive for 50 miles as a seeker, hit 20 seekers with the Chase Breaker ability, and complete a match in every area of Hide & Seek. Thankfully, it looks like the 'streak' achievements are for just playing matches and not winning matches in a row — at least, that's what you need to do to unlock the in-game accolade.

Out of the ten new achievements, four achievements are not tied to accolades: Blending In (Win as a Hider in Hide & Seek), The Big Reveal (Win as a Seeker in Hide and Seek), Never Back Down (Reach a Streak of 50 in Hide and Seek), and Catching a Break (Successfully hit a total of 20 Seekers with Chase Breaker In a game of Hide and Seek).
