That is a very long list, and as always, we can tell which achievements will likely be the most difficult by their score. Expect to put a lot of time into the achievements worth 50 points because those will probably take some combination of grinding and skill. For instance, the 50 point achievement "Living Legend" tasks players with earning a whopping 300 stars from PR stunts scattered throughout Mexico – and Forza Horizon veterans will know that's no small feat.
Another 50 point achievement, "Racing and Pacing and Plotting the Course," will require 80 victories in race events to unlock, so that one will take some time. Of course, most of the achievements aren't worth 50 points, so those should be easier to earn. Some of them have downright wacky unlock conditions, such as "Cactus Makes Perfect," which requires that players smash 500 cacti during Mexico's wet season. We imagine many people will earn that achievement without even realizing it existed.
So, if you're planning to jump into Forza Horizon 5 when the time comes, then browse through this list of achievements to see the challenges which await. Forza Horizon 5 is out on Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC on November 5th, 2021.
