Forza Horizon 5 - Mexico

Looking forward to giving this a go through game pass.
Won't be doing any tricks to play early mind, though I'm unsure whether MS will really do much about it but there is talk of it and I ain't that fussed.

I'm tempted but I'll be good. I did use a VPN for AC Odyssey and Valhalla but I'm unsure of Microsoft's views on their games.

What's the wheel support like? Fh4 wouldn't recognize my osw last time I tried.

it's been a thing for ages

there should be an app for it on the MS store too

Thanks just logged in there, says I have a bunch of rewards expiring today! Although not sure how useful some of them will be, credits for FH2 heh. Never looked at this before.

edit: How do you actually claim the rewards, I clicked the "Redeem 6 rewards now!" button but it just spins for ages and doesn't proceed.

Yeah keeps saying it's failed to claim.

It's a bit heavier to run than 4, just left it on ultra settings - 5700XT - 1440p

Still seems reasonably balanced for system requirements, and it does look gorgeous!

I'm in, just set my region to New Zealand on PC... why didn't I think of that before.

Not picking up my PS4 controller.

The DF tech review really shows what they’ve done with this game. It’s really impressive.

doodah · 4 Nov 2021 at 15:56

Hhhmm not sure if I should try and finish my incomplete version of FH3 yet, and then on to this. Or just sack it off and get the new shiny one

Well when Forza 4 came out i run an OCUK club .. Well we now have Forza 5 club .. just search Ocuk !! Or you can search for me in the MS app or ingame "Persil"

Plugged in my T300RS and Clubsport V3 pedals now, all is working fine

I'm finding the launch information a little misleading on this. Release date is the 5th, but then also the 9th depending on what version is owned. It states day one release on Gamepass so is that the 5th or 9th, premium or standard lol.

Snaggle · 4 Nov 2021 at 16:53

5th for vip 9th for everyone else .. or today if VIP and live in new zealand

9th for gamepass. It does tell you but you have to scroll down the page in the xbox app to see it

I bought the full fat version for FH4, didn't play for long. Think I'll just get gamespass to play this one. Hopefully won't get so bored so quickly.

I've seen plenty say that they've done it before and been fine but then I've seen a few that got aggro for gaming the settings to unlock cars cars early then tried to sell the cars on the in game auction house.

Steam unlock at 6AM I think, accidentally booked tomorrow off.

CaptainRAVE · 4 Nov 2021 at 17:30

Really like what I’ve seen so far. They’ve nailed the visuals and the audio.

Kelt · 4 Nov 2021 at 17:32

I take it you need an MS Store account for either version?
