Forza Horizon 5 is an open-world festival racer rather than a linear story game, so 'how long to beat' really means how much of the map you clear. Progressing through the main Horizon Festival campaign to its credits takes most players around 20 hours. A fuller playthrough that mixes in the strongest side content-Accolades, PR stunts like Speed Traps, Drift Zones and Danger Signs, story chapters and a broad slice of races-typically lands in the ~46-50 hour range. Chasing full completion is a much bigger commitment: unlocking every car, three-starring every PR stunt, smashing all bonus boards, topping Rivals and finishing every event pushes well past 100 hours, and dedicated completionists report substantially more. The two paid expansions, Hot Wheels and Rally Adventure, add roughly another 20-30 hours combined. Because the game is live-service style with recurring seasonal events and Festival Playlist rewards, there is effectively no hard end point-many players return week after week. Treat these figures as broad guidance from community trackers; your pace, difficulty and how much online play you do will move them significantly.
