The Prestige system recognizes experienced players in the Forza Horizon 5 community.
Prestige is first awarded once you've earned enough Global Influence to reach Rank 200.
Throughout Forza Horizon 5, players with Prestige levels are identified by a numbered star next to their Gamertag. When you Prestige, you will revert to Rank 1 (level 1), and your new Prestige star distinguishes your experience. This is visible to all other players.
In the example above, the number on the right is the rank currently achieved. The number underneath the star is the current Prestige level. (i.e., This player is Rank 1 (level 1) and Prestige 1.)
The table below outlines how many ranks you must progress through to reach the next Prestige level. After Prestige 0, it takes slightly longer to earn Global Influence through each rank.
| Prestige Level | Ranks to Next Prestige |
| 0 | 200 |
| 1 | 300 |
| 2 | 400 |
| 3 | 500 |
| 4 | 600 |
| 5 | 750 |
| 6 | 850 |
| 7 | 900 |
| 8 | 1000 |
| 9 | 1500 |
| 10 | 2999 |
