Microsoft and developer Playground Games have promised Forza Horizon 5 will be the series’ biggest game yet, and it certainly is when it comes to file size. Forza Horizon 4 was the franchise’s previous file size champion, weighing in at around 63 GB at launch, but Forza Horizon 5 blows it away, requiring more than 100 GB of space on all platforms. Here are the Forza Horizon 5 download sizes, which are actually smaller on the Xbox Series X/S than the Xbox One due to the newer consoles’ more efficient SSDs…
With the high-speed internal SSD storage found on Xbox Series X|S consoles, we’ve reduced the install footprint of Forza Horizon 5 on those systems by optimizing our assets for higher bandwidth streaming. That means a shorter download combined with super-fast loading times so you can seamlessly jump into the action as soon as you say “Let’s ¡Go!”
- Xbox One: 116 GB
- Xbox Series X/S: 103 GB
- PC (Windows and Steam): 103 GB
