Although the open-world environment ofForza Horizon 5is beautiful to look at, its jagged rocks and deep beaches can lead to vehicles getting stuck. When even rewinding won’t fix the mess a car has got into, players can reset its position and respawn instead.
However, like many of the helpful features in Playground Games' newest entry into the franchise, respawning inForza Horizon 5isn’t something the game tells players they can do, let alone how to do it.

How to Respawn in Forza Horizon 5
To respawn inForza Horizon 5, players need to first pause the game, and then click L3 on consoles, and the X button if playing on PC. This is the default key binding for PC. If it has been changed, players should check their personal settings to see what key they have mapped resetting car position to instead.
This will respawn the trapped car to a flat surface nearby. Rewinding can also help players escape from a bad position, but it only goes back so far. If players left the vehicle there for a long time while trying to fix their position, the timer could have reached its limit. Respawning is also quicker than rewinding most of the time. Except when trying to attempt certain events, likeDrift Zones inForza Horizon 5.
There have also been some minor single-player bugs andglitches inForza Horizon 5, which have affected the rewind feature occasionally. Players have been getting stuck while in the rewind animation for a prolonged period of time.
This is particularly frustrating when playing in Openmultiplayer races inForza Horizon 5, as rewinding does not stop the progress of other players. Meaning they gain a huge lead while players wait for the animation to load. Respawning to reset the car position has not been hit with inconveniences like these.
Getting stuck often means that players have taken cosmetic damage as well. Anycar can be repaired inForza Horizon 5with just a few button presses. Cosmetic damage can also be turned off from the settings if players prefer to race and explore while their vehicle remains in perfect condition.
There are lots of other hidden features for players to discover in the arcade-style racing sim. Although, none are as helpful at getting players out of a difficult position as respawning inForza Horizon 5. It’s been a helpful mechanic in previous entries in the series, and will most likely appear in future titles as well.
Forza Horizon 5is out now for PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
