Surprise!
Forza Horizon 5 on PS5 will require a Microsoft account to play, Microsoft has confirmed.
“In addition to a PSN account you’ll need to link to a Microsoft account in order to play Forza Horizon 5 on PS5,” an FAQ reads. “This process begins the first time you start up the game on your console.”
Microsoft has also confirmed the linking process “is on a title-by-title basis and permanent”.
“Players have the ability to unlink the Microsoft account to that PSN account, for Forza Horizon 5, but will be constrained to relinking to only that specific and originally linked, Microsoft account,” the publisher continued.
Those who wish to take advantage of online options will also need a PlayStation account and a subscription to PlayStation Plus, of course.
Forza Horizon 5 is currently available on Windows PC, Xbox One and Xbox Series S & X, also part of Xbox Game Pass. It heads to PS5 from 29 April 2025. We reviewed it here.
