Playground Games has been steadily improving its optimization of the Forza engine with every new iteration of Horizon since the arrival of Horizon 3 back in 2016. This combined with Game Pass will allow most players to jump in and experience the new adventure.Īs you can tell, even fairly entry-level systems will be able to enjoy the new Forza Horizon 5 minimum system requirements. Considering that Forza Horizon 5 will also release on Xbox One, it’s not too surprising that Playground managed to achieve such modest minimum requirements for the PC edition. Required storage space is a bit of a pain point though, as players will need 80 GB. System memory requirements are also low, coming in at just 8 GB. The Nvidia GeForce GTX 650 Ti and AMD 27 250X with just 2 GB of VRAM are listed. The GPU requirements are just as forgiving.

There will also be over a dozen biomes to explore.Īs confirmed by the game’s Microsoft Store listing, all you’ll need to get started on the CPU side is an Intel Core i3-41710/Intel Core i5 750. Even so, Horizon 5 really cranks up the heat with its intense weather systems like dust storms and tropical thunderstorms. It will also make use of ray-tracing technology (though that will only take place in Forzavista). Playground Games describes Forza Horizon 5 as being the “largest, most beautiful open-world that we have developed.” It’s a racer that’s “built for next-gen” and will feature vast landscapes created from 12K resolution photogrammetry data. And, as it turns out, the requirements may not be as lofty as one might have assumed. Following the recent high-octane reveal of Forza Horizon 5, Playground Games also peeled back the curtain on the new open-world arcade racer’s system requirements.
