Forza Horizon (FH) 5 Known Issues & Bugs list

Wondering whether the bug that spoiled your experience in Forza Horizon 5 has been acknowledged? Well, we understand your “only fly in the ointment” situation. Forza Horizon 5 is a massively popular racing video game released in November 2021. Since then, the video game has had its shares of highs and lows. Although it went on to receive three prestigious Game Awards, many fans are not happy with its “bug condition”. We have come across several bug/glitch reports on forums. Most of those reports are, unfortunately, awaiting acknowledgment for several days. Now that you are here, let’s find out what all issues/bugs have the developers managed to notice in Forza Horizon 5.

Is it normal to have “so many” issues in FH5?

We will be including the entire list of known bugs and issues as specified by Playground Games in their official forum. However, we would also like to shed light on a few major issues reported by players. We will start by addressing the FPS and visual issues, which have been bothering fans since Forza Horizon 4 (5’s prequel in the main Forza series). Many reports suggest that the game is (still) not visually optimized enough! Some reports also suggested constant frame drops even on systems featuring hardware beyond recommended specifications.

In other bug updates, players are majorly bothered by random lags, unresponsive and weakly designed AI, unsatisfactory draw distance (how far objects render), and an almost non-existent progression. Fans were expecting a lot from this title – it has been three years since the last Horizon title was released. They don’t think the game is worth the price and many don’t even want to play it anymore. Some fans, however, believe that they have got their money’s worth with all the beautiful cars, excellent audio design, and interesting content. Well, it all boils down to how much a fan expects! You can check out a debate/discussion regarding FH5’s issues here. Anyway, we will quickly quote all the known issues and bugs of the game next:
