Gameplay: Set in Southern France and Northern Italy, the game revolves around a musical festival. It introduces a dynamic weather system and Drivatar AI. While barrier-less, invisible walls exist. It emphasizes combining single-player and multiplayer, with Drivatars in single-player replaced by other players online. Players can create 'Car Meets' for races and car customization exchanges. A Perk system replaces the skills system from the predecessor, and the Xbox One version includes the 'Horizon Wheelspin'.

Events: Features over 700 events, including barrier-less cross-country races for up to 12 players. 'Bucket Lists' are driving challenges triggered by specific vehicles placed throughout the game world. New Bucket Lists are released or updated post-launch.

Versions: The Xbox 360 release has significant differences due to weaker hardware, using the original Forza Horizon engine. This includes missing dynamic weather, scaled-down graphics, missing water/dirt effects, invisible walls, and inaccessible areas. It has fewer cars (but 3 exclusives), a different achievement list, and lacks Horizon Wheelspins, DLCs, updates, and Car Clubs. It also has more bugs.

Vehicles: Features over 200 cars. A Porsche Expansion was released in 2015 with over 10 Porsche vehicles and related content.

Downloadable Content: Includes various passes, car packs, expansions (like 'Forza Horizon 2 Presents Fast & Furious'), bundles, and promotional packs.
