10 Best Xbox Series X Games (So Far)
1. Forza Horizon 5
Racing games have been the
benchmark for demonstrating what a new console is capable of. Whenever a new Xbox
has been released, it’s almost a certainty that a new Forza game is never far
behind.
Up until recently, it was Forza Horizon 4’s picturesque depiction of Britain which held the title for most unbelievable visual fidelity on Xbox consoles. But that changed with the launch of Forza Horizon 5.
The team at Playground Games have once again outdone themselves in creating the richly detailed Mexican landscape in which players will be hurling through at over 100mph, and all without impacting the game’s performance.
From the way light passes through foliage to billowing particles in a sandstorm, the detail that’s been achieved in crafting this game cannot be understated.
The sheer level of work that’s been poured into development becomes clearer when examining the car models up close. The amount of detail, right down to the brake callipers, is remarkable. The implementation of raytracing technology in photo mode likewise sets a whole new bar of verisimilitude to the mix too.
Whether you chose to prefer visuals or performance, Forza Horizon 5 looks and plays incredibly. And it plays the best on Series X.
