It’s easy to see why. The game is simply stunning, especially on the Xbox Series X. It allows you to tear around the highways and byways of Mexico in one of more than 500 cars (534 to be exact) including Lamborghinis, Ferraris and for the more discerning driver with a love of Rowan Atkinson's most popular role of the early 90s (no, not Blackadder) the 1965 Mini Cooper.
With hundreds of miles of highway to screech around, dozens of races and missions to take part in, not to mention online challenges, and a great online multiplayer scene, you’ll always have something to do.
Forza Horizon 5’s sweeping vistas, sprawling expanses, and ancient temples look absolutely stunning on the Xbox Series X as well, helped along by the fact it runs in full 4k at 60Hz. If you have a TV that can handle it you can even play the game at a buttery smooth 120fps. If you’re a racing fan in the market for a new console, or someone that just likes mucking around in big open worlds, this is one bundle you won’t want to miss.
Like all first-party Microsoft games, Forza Horizon 5 is available on the Xbox Game Pass service. Though last year was a fairly quiet year for first-party titles on Xbox, 2023 is already looking like a packed year for the console with more than 40 titles, including Forza Motorsport, Redfall, and Starfield, already confirmed to be coming to Gamepass. And January isn’t even over yet.
