Burn up the tracks with friends or enjoy cruising around the sites of Mexico in Forza Horizon 5. The new title from developers Playground Games continues the franchise into next-gen platforms in a big way. The photorealistic graphics include customizable exterior and accurate interior vehicle designs that players can show off in a photo mode. The Load Screen covers their favorite features from the latest installment of Forza, available on Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.

Forza is known to have a photo mode, and the new game continues this rich tradition. It functions like previous Horizon titles, but the level of detail in each vehicle and racetrack has far more for the player to show off. If the gamer has complete vehicle unlocks from some of those previous titles, the entire garage is transferrable, but not across Xbox and Steam profiles, according to the Forza Motorsport Forza Horizon 5 coming to Mexico article.

Playground Games focused on accessibility incorporation from the start in their new title, as listed in this Xbox News Accessibility Features of Forza Horizon 5 article. While many developers have increased ease of use through adjustable UI elements, Forza Horizon 5 offers options that go beyond. Cinematics will have American Sign Language and British Sign Language support as well as various contrast modes. The blog post also lists that the overall speed is adjustable with the Game Speed Modification setting in offline mode. Check out the article for the complete list of available adjustments.

With so many options for everything from customizable vehicles to transferring progress, Forza Horizon 5 has a ton to offer racing game enthusiasts. Playground Games baked in accessibility everywhere and expanded the game’s availability to players who were left out before. The Load Screen team is excited to spend hours tearing up the tracks around the beautiful Mexican landscape in pursuit of an epic photo shoot location.
