Two Ways to Dive into Horizon Realms

There will be two different ways to experience Horizon Realms: 

Skill Mode

Try to bank as much Skill Score as you can by entering one of the Horizon Realms. In addition to the individual Skill Score leaderboards for each Evolving World, there will be a combined Skill Score leaderboard that counts all of the points earned in each Realm. Aim to win all of them!

Additionally, additional player badges exclusive to Horizon Realms can be unlocked by accumulating sufficient Skill Score!

Free Mode

This mode prioritizes people enjoying themselves in their preferred Realms over leaderboards.

Explore your favorite Realms, get Badges linked to past content updates, unlock honors to earn #Forzathon Points, and more by entering alone or in a convoy with friends.

At the New Horizon Stadium Circuit, start your engines.

Gather at the starting line of the Horizon Stadium Circuit, a brand-new racetrack! This new circuit, which has turns, corners, and racing decorations, will be a permanent race route in the game. It will also have its own Rivals leaderboard and event symbol on the map!

Explore the Stadium Track Realm in both Free Mode and Skill Mode in Horizon Realms, and set your best time on this new race course in Rivals and Horizon Open.
