During the showcase, Playground Games showed off Forza Horizon 5’s diverse terrain, beautiful graphics and new modes.

The focus on setting and player interaction is nothing short of what we have come to know from this developer. But with such an ambitions new Forza game, can your PC Forza Horizon 5?

Forza Horizon 5’s PC Requirements

During the press conference, Playground Games emphasized Horizon 5’s scale and graphical fidelity, along with ray-tracing capabilities. These features truly bring the game to the next generation with style. But, with all these upgrades can your PC handle it? For most PC gamers, the answer is, Yes! A Microsoft store listing confirms all players need is an Intel Core i3-41710 or Intel Core i5 750 and 2 GB of VRAM. For a game of this caliber, you are looking at quite a deal here. The listing continues with a memory requirement of just 8 GB which is low. Given there is also an Xbox Series X version of the game, its great that Playground has managed to compress the PC version to decently low requirements. Note, these are the minimum requirements. Recommended have yet to be posted.

Whether you are looking to jump into Forza for the first time or, you’ve been playing since the first Forza Motorsport. This next installment looks very promising. Forza Horizon 5 is coming to Xbox Series X|S and PC November 9.
