#Forza 5 horizon series

ItвЂ™s tough to pick my favourite visual element of Horizon 5, but think it might just be the drastically better smoke and dust effects вЂ“ and especially how light interacts with the particles in the air. IвЂ™ve been playing mostly on quality mode since the frame rate never, ever wavers in either mode вЂ“ remaining rock solid at all times and in all conditions вЂ“ but know that the visual concessions in performance mode are generally so small I need to study freeze frames to spot the difference anyhow.

On Xbox Series X thatвЂ™s true of both the 4K/30FPS quality mode and the 4K/60FPS performance mode. but you still canвЂ™t place decals on glass, which remains a shame.Д«etween the cars and the map, however, Forza Horizon 5 is barnstormingly gorgeous on both fronts.

Changes to the livery editor also see it support higher resolution designs and graphics. Granted, there isnвЂ™t a huge number of cars that are strictly new to the franchise вЂ“ and those of us who stuck around Forza Horizon 4 each week for the last few years collecting every new car will have seen the lionвЂ™s share of them before вЂ“ but Playground has assuaged that slightly with the addition of a lot of new rim options and visual upgrades that may help breathe new life into cars youвЂ™ve seen a lot of previously. The garage is just as grand as the map itself, with well over 500 vehicles, and itвЂ™s a selection that still handily eclipses all Forza HorizonвЂ™s open-world racing rivals.
