![]() ![]() One curve later, and we're in full sunlight, where environmental density ramps up still further, working in combination with more expansive vistas - a coherent view from the car right out to the horizon, with no sign of object LODs - meaning no 'pop', whether on geometry or textures. Sunlight bisects the view, cutting through the smoke rising from the lava. The signature Horizon intro drive begins with the 2021 Ford Bronco arriving by plane (!) at the top of an active volcano, where we get our first look at the kind of intense detail Playground is aiming for, along with some sublime lighting. Frame-rate is pegged at 30fps (more on this shortly), allowing for the most dense, rich and expansive Forza Horizon experience we've seen yet. With the code we have available, Xbox Series X running in quality mode is clearly the top tier experience we were able to sample. The DF team convene for a full 4K Forza Horizon 5 special, based on the recent one hour press preview code. Intriguingly, whether you're running on Series X or its junior counterpart, both of them run at the same resolution: 3840x2160 or 1920x1080 respectively, albeit with potential hints of dynamic resolution scaling in play on the performance mode (truth is, it's quite hard to tell). The preview code we had only worked on the new machines, so quite how Playground intends to run the game on Xbox One remains to be seen, but perhaps there are some clues when looking at Series code, principally because both quality and performance modes are included. In addition to PC (with scalability challenges of its own) and two quite different Xbox Series consoles, there's Xbox One as well, not to mention Xbox One X. First of all, it's a Horizon game supports more platforms than it ever has before. Scalability is key to Forza Horizon 5 for several reasons. Oli Welsh has already shared his first impressions but for Digital Foundry, the preview was a chance to get up close and personal with the technology, to get some idea of how the new Xbox consoles are put through their paces and crucially, to see how the game may scale across systems. ![]() We already know an extensive list of Forza Horizon 5 cars so far too, with more to be announced over the months ahead.įorza Horizon 5 launches November 9, 2021, on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC, with preorders now live starting at $60 for the standard edition.Forza Horizon 5 has gone gold, the game arrives less than two weeks from now and recently, press had the chance to go hands-on with what is effectively the first hour of the game, featuring the introductory drive, a showcase event, a number of races and open world challenges and the player's arrival at their very first home. The primary advancement with Forza Horizon 5 appears to hinge on new systems, including improved visual fidelity, extended draw distances, extreme weather effects, and an overall bolstered open world. However, Microsoft is yet to confirm how Forza Horizon 5 will run on Xbox One, Xbox One S, and Xbox One X, compared to its predecessor, Forza Horizon 4. ![]() Its Xbox One release will make the game immeasurably more accessible, with the short supply of Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S consoles expected to continue throughout 2021. The latest entry in the Forza Horizon series is also headed to Xbox One, unlike the upcoming soft reboot of the Forza Motorsport series, built from the ground up for next-generation systems. It remains unclear how Forza Horizon 5 will differ between these available modes, whether scaling back world detail or implementing dynamic resolution scaling to maintain a consistent framerate. The game will also support ray tracing on Xbox Series consoles at launch, although limited to the "Forzavista" mode for viewing vehicles. Microsoft also plans to offer an optional 60 FPS mode, downscaling visuals to pursue a higher framerate across these devices. Xbox Series S will offer comparable performance at a lesser resolution, targeting 1080p at 60 FPS out of the box. Microsoft has also set performance expectations on its latest consoles, the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S.įorza Horizon 5 will target 4K resolution at 30 frames-per-second (FPS) on Microsoft's best Xbox console, Xbox Series X, according to a post on the official Forza Motorsport website. The open-world automotive sandbox returns on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC this November, with significant improvements throughout its world, as the largest map in the series to date. Microsoft unveiled Forza Horizon 5 at its latest E3 2021 showcase, bringing its virtual car festival to Mexico for a cross-country adventure spanning all types of terrain. ![]()
