Before You Start: Five Settings To Change in Forza Horizon 5

Some of you get to start playing Forza Horizon 5, a big, beautiful Xbox racing game, today. Like most big, beautiful games, there’s an impressive suite of options spread across a ton of submenus. Tweaking a handful of them makes the game more enjoyable from the jump. Just try to stifle your incredulity that there’s motion blur on the menus.

Driving line fully off IMO, and I also favour Performance mode, doesn’t seem like much of a drop in fidelity.

Cornering on or you'll constantly be hitting rewind. So hard to see corners with such dense foilage, especially in the dark.

This article is an immediate fail when it says "this is possibly the prettiest game on Xbox right now. Is that framerate boost really worth the hit to fidelity?" Are they really advocating for 30 fps and marginally prettier graphics over rock solid stable 60 fps in a racing title?

Yikes.

Nearly every place ive seen (including Digital Foundry) says the graphics mode is worth it over Performance mode.

You must be drunk. Post proof, or poof.

Forza Horizon 5 Has Now Topped 34 Million Players Since Launch

3 years of phenomenal success!

Definitely the most popular racer in gaming!

Playground Games are masters of their craft and I have no doubt that Fable has the right studio to continue its legacy!

Phil absolutely nailed acquiring such a talent studio!

True next gen Forza Horizon 6 will raise the bar even higher!

I can´t wait!

With Phil Spencer missing his Gamepass target three years in a row and the consensus that Starfield and Redfall are massive disapointment among players , it's good to see some win on Microsoft part. I second Obscure_Observer with the fact that Mario Kart 8 deluxe sales on Switch means nothing since Nintendo and Microsoft are not even in the same industry at all.

Lightning77202d ago

Redfall is a disappointment but Starfield is far from a disappointment. I dunno where you got that from.

Neonridr203d ago

well deserved, probably one of the best Forza games overall.

XiNatsuDragnel203d ago

Good forza unlike the recent one.

DivineHand125203d ago

I have spent many hours playing forza Horizon 5 myself and I love the crazy races where you are racing alongside planes and jet skis.

The only negative I can think of is that the in-game sound track could be better. I would also like to see nitro in the future games.

EvertonFC203d ago

Turn the games soundtrack off and play you're own music is what I do .

Number of Players, not Sales or units sold.

It doesn't matter. All Xbox division has to do is keep players subscribed and keep the graph on the plus side. Even for 0.1%. If they can do that... they, as a whole, are successful.
