To help celebrate the launch of Forza Horizon 5, a special package was sent over by Xbox. This featured a distinct style that aimed to match the visual aesthetic of the Mexican setting that is present within the latest entry of the open world racing series. You can check out the video below which includes an unboxing of what was included, but I will also be going over the details of the items as well if you’re interested in reading so. You can also check out our review of the game below, a title that in general has received very high acclaim.

Within this package, which came in a rather large box was a large metal container that basically housed all of the items. This was a jerry can that had been specifically customized with unique art designs from the artists included within the game and the colorful theme of the game. This particular housing was based off Danish Fuel’s bar cabinet type of design, so it can also be home to one’s drinks later on which it most certainly will take on the role of.

To open the case, the keys were needed and front slides down to reveal a number of cool thematic items. The first included the limited edition custom Forza Horizon 5 Xbox Series controller. It has a vibrant array of color usage with a semi-translucent styling to it. Beside that was a special scented candle, called “Road Trip”. The following note was printed with the packaging; “Cruise down the highway with open windows inviting in hot air and cool breezes. Leather seats and a car freshener in the rearview mirror”.

There was also a map of the entire game, featuring special marker spots for when you hit landmarks within the game. You also can’t forget a special custom license plate that was included, printed upon it was my gamertag which was super cool to have done. Those letterings also had the style of art from the artists behind the game’s in-game designs as well. Finally, there was a phone holder sort of metallic double up as a bottle opener item.

While it does sound interesting described, it is best to watch it all unboxing. It includes likely a laugh or two, as I didn’t notice the key hole initially due to how I lifted it up which was sort of funny. That’s all on this one, a really awesome package that encourages further exploration within the open world of Mexico. I will also mention the last minute of the video showcases an in-depth look at just the custom limited edition controller. Check out my review of the game below, or the general Forza hub for further coverage.
