Forza Horizon 5: open-world racing game wants more than 100GB of SSD storage

The open-world racing game Forza Horizon 5 succeeds the successful and highly acclaimed Forza Horizon 4 (tested) and ideally takes up over 100 gigabytes of storage space on an SSD. The game already runs on a processor with four cores or threads, but it can also be different.

Microsoft’s Related Development Studio playground game November 9 divides the system requirements for Forza Horizon 5 into three categories “minimum”, “recommended” and “ideal” and breaks down the technical specifications for AMD and Intel separately. The absolute minimum is an AMD Ryzen 3 1200 (tested) with four first-generation Zen Cores and an Intel Core i5-4460, which should be paired with an AMD Radeon RX 470 or an Nvidia GeForce GTX 970. The storage space requirement is always 110 gigabytes – ideally, an SSD should be used.

In terms of memory, 8 GB RAM is the minimum requirement, while 16 GB is both recommended and ideal. We also recommend an AMD Radeon RX 590 or an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 with 8 GB of VRAM, which is “fed” by an AMD Ryzen 5 1500X (test) or an Intel Core i5-8400.

Ideally, an AMD Ryzen 7 3800XT (tested) or an Intel Core i7-10700K should be paired with an AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT (tested) or an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 (tested). The graphics memory in this case should be from 10 to 16 GB.

The developers also announced that the Xbox Wireless Controller will support haptic feedback on all platforms, including Steam, for the first time.

The editors would like to thank members of the community “trimipramine” for pointing this out.
