Forza Horizon 5 is now available on consoles and PCs, and it’s included in Game Pass. Racing enthusiasts will appreciate the stunning graphics and the ability to customize.
One standout feature is the user-friendly Tours and races, allowing you to try various modes, join teams, and participate in world tours.
The game also features Kudos and Gift Drops for community sharing, emphasizing teamwork in many game modes.
Players who want to team up might be curious about crossplay and how to find other racers. Here are some common questions about Horizon 5 crossplay and what you need to know.
Does Forza Horizon 5 support cross-platform play?
Yes, it allows crossplay between Xbox consoles and PCs, but not with PlayStation, as Forza is a Microsoft-exclusive series.
“Crossplay” means you can race with players on PCs or other Xbox systems, making it easier to find opponents and play with friends on different devices. Cross-saving is partially supported, allowing some players to switch between PC and console without losing progress.

Which platforms support crossplay in Horizon 5?
Forza Horizon 5 supports crossplay on these platforms:
- Xbox Series X/S
- Xbox One
- Windows 10/11 PCs
- Xbox Cloud Gaming:
This feature allows for cross-saving between platforms and lets you play on supported mobile devices like iPads, Surface devices, laptops, and new iPhones, though performance may vary compared to other devices.
- Steam:
While crossplay is supported, cross-saving is not, meaning your progress on the Steam version is separate and cannot be transferred to an Xbox or other device. You can still play with friends on consoles.
What languages does Horizon 5 support?
The game offers full voiceover in English, French, German, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese. Additionally, there is limited translation available in Japanese, Italian, Korean, Russian, Polish, Chinese, and other languages, making it accessible to players from various regions.
Can you transfer data from previous Forza games?
Forza Horizon 5 allows you to import “liveries” (vehicle designs) from previous games like Horizon 4, enabling you to continue using many of your favorite designs with improved graphics.
However, Steam files are separate, so you cannot transfer saved Steam liveries to Xbox or native Windows versions.

How does Forza Horizon 5 perform on older consoles?
On the Xbox Series X, the game runs at 4K resolution and 30 frames per second. The Series S version adjusts to 1080p resolution at 30 fps.
On the Xbox One, there are some compromises to maintain performance, especially in close-up graphics, but the game still looks good with 1080p resolution and anti-aliasing.
If you are concerned about performance, you can switch to Performance Mode, which lowers the resolution to increase fps. A stable internet connection is more crucial for gameplay stability than fps or resolution adjustments.
