The Reddit-favorite question, answered without fence-sitting.

Short answer
No — unless FH5 is on a 70%+ discount or you have Game Pass already (where it's free).
Why not
- FH6 launches in just a few days; the FH5 player base will shrink overnight.
- FH5 official content support ends with the FH6 launch event.
- Your progress doesn't carry over — only some Forza Rewards perks.
When FH5 is worth it
- You have Game Pass — it's free, play 10 hours to see if you like Horizon.
- You can find it under $20 in a sale and want the singleplayer / Mexico content.
- You want to learn tuning / drifting before FH6 lands.
What carries forward to FH6
- Forza Rewards / Forza Hub tier perks (small credits + free DLC car at launch).
- Driving skill — handling model is iterative.
- Friends list and clubs.
