Developed from the ground up for PC

(MST / Speedmaniacs.de) – With all-new high-performance graphics functions, Forza Horizon 5 is supposed to transform the virtual gaming world in Mexico into a great experience on all PCs. Players must be pampered by the keen vision and far-reaching panoramas from the top of the Gran Caldera volcano.

According to the official information, the game was “developed from the ground up for PC”. In other words, it shouldn’t just be a ported version of the console version.

For a better assessment of FH5 requirements, the developers have created a file Overview publishes a breakdown into Minimum, Recommended, and Ideal System Requirements that list PC hardware requirements. A distinction is also made between AMD and NVIDIA systems. Minimum Ryzen 3 1200 processor, Radeon RX 470 graphics card with 4 GB of video graphics memory, 8 GB of RAM, and 110 GB of free hard disk space required.

“Variety of graphics settings”

So that as many PC users as possible can play FH5, a “large number of graphics settings” have been integrated into the game settings so that everyone can improve and adapt the experience to their liking. The frame rate can be freely selected, 4K resolution is supported for graphics and with optional activated HDR, for brighter lighting or a wider field of view, the visual representation is more detailed.
