Pour one out for the Willys. On November 17, the developers at Playground Games rolled out a new hotfix for Forza Horizon 5 that introduced a wealth of stability fixes, squashed a ton of bugs, and (sadly for some) addressed the exploits players has been using to gain easy Super Wheelspins.

In a recent hotfix, this exploit has been removed along with a few others, too (including a cheese that let you turn assists on and drive around whilst AFK in order to grind out points and earn skill points).
