1. Open Xbox App → My Library → Forza Horizon 5 → "Update" button.
2. If missing, run wsreset.exe (Windows Store cache reset) as admin.
3. Update size: 8.2 GB. Install via Gaming Services.

Recommendation:

Update, spend 15 minutes recalibrating your wheel or controller sensitivity (due to physics changes), and enjoy the new Horizon Realms before the next seasonal rotation.

Sequence Matters:

Do not skip versions. If you intend to reach the newest build (e.g., v1.687.302.0), you must apply this update first, followed by subsequent versions like v1.671.65.0.
