The Winter / Dry Season is the third season of Series 42 in Forza Horizon 5, held from January 16, 2025 at 14:30 (UTC) to January 23, 2025 at 14:30 (UTC).
Players can earn up to 70 points (PTS) from season completion rewards by winning Forzathon challenges, seasonal events, challenges, and monthly events listed in the Festival Playlist. Points earned during a season contribute towards total points for the player's overall series progression.
Events listed during the season in the Festival Playlist can only be completed during their period of availability. Players can not earn points for a season either before or after it is available, although monthly events completed during any season count as a completion in all seasons of a series.
Completed goals in a Festival Playlist for a season are highlighted in gold.
As players earn points by completing seasonal goals, they can earn two rewards by accumulating points over the season, alongside rewards from completing events or challenges.
Completion Rewards
Players can earn up to 70 points from Winter / Dry Season completion rewards by winning challenges, events, PR Stunts, and monthly challenges listed in the Festival Playlist. Earning 56 points is required to complete the season.
