About

Forza Horizon 5 is a racing and action game released in 2021 that puts you behind the wheel in Mexico's vibrant open-world landscape. This simulation-style racer combines fast-paced driving action with exploration across diverse terrain, featuring hundreds of authentic vehicles from the world's greatest automakers. It's earned an 85/100 rating for blending accessible arcade-style fun with deeper simulation elements that appeal to both casual and hardcore racing fans.

On PC, Forza Horizon 5 is reasonably accessible, though it scales well across different hardware tiers. You'll need at least an entry-level GPU with a score around 6284 and a CPU around 3652 to meet minimum requirements with 8GB RAM, but these specs deliver only baseline performance. For solid 60 FPS at high settings, most players should target a mid-range GPU, while those chasing high refresh rates or maximum graphics settings will benefit from stepping up to a more powerful card. Our benchmark data helps you determine what FPS you'll achieve across different GPU configurations and graphics presets.

If you enjoy racing games with exploration and variety, Forza Horizon 5 is worth playing. The high rating and diverse genre blend make it an excellent choice for both competitive driving and casual open-world fun.

Performance profile

Released in November 2021, Forza Horizon 5 targets RTX 20/30-series and RX 6000-era hardware. A current mid-range GPU (RTX 4060 Ti / RX 7700 XT) is the sweet spot for 1440p Ultra; 4K needs a high-end card.

Simulation titles like Forza Horizon 5 are heavily CPU-dependent — physics, AI and world state dominate the frame budget. Prioritise a CPU with strong single-thread performance and fast RAM over raw GPU power.

Mid-range territory. An RTX 3060 or RX 6700 XT delivers 60 FPS at 1080p High in Forza Horizon 5. For 1440p Ultra you'll want an RTX 4060 Ti / RX 7700 XT; 4K Ultra needs an RTX 4070 Ti or faster.
