Forza Horizon 5 has released and is easily the best racing game of the year, making a huge splash on Xbox Game Pass and beyond. With its blend of arcade-style racing and beautiful visuals, it’s easy to see why so many people love the game. But even players experienced with Forza Horizon games of the past, there are a bunch of new features added here that can seem like a mystery. One of those is gifting cars.
If you have too many cars in your collection (is that possible?) then you can choose to give them away to players online. If you feel like being benevolent today, take a look at our guide below and give a couple of your vehicles away to those who need them more.
How to gift cars in Forza Horizon 5
Gifting cars to other players in Forza Horizon 5 is fairly simple process, just follow the steps below.
- While connected to the internet and playing Forza Horizon 5, open the main menu.
- Scroll over to the My Horizon tab.
- Select Gift Drop.
- Select the car from your garage you’d like to donate.
- Choose the group of people you would like to donate to – it’s always nice to give a boost to new players.
After that, you should be done. Your car will be donated to a deserving player online. Giving is its own reward.
How to gift cars to friends in Forza Horizon 5
While this seems like an obvious feature to add, you can’t actually gift cars to friends or specific players in Forza Horizon 5.
This is to avoid making a black market for cars, where players could exchange real money for them and then exchange the vehicles in the game. This has become increasingly common in a number of games, so any move to avoid this is probably for the best.
While it might be disappointing to not be able to share your vehicles with friends specifically, you can always race with them to help them grind for points and cash. We’ve even got great guides for the best cars in each race type and grinding cash fast to help you on your journey.
