Of course, there are also other details to note with the Forza Horizon 5 Xbox Wireless Controller. Other than the almost-hidden Forza logo, the controller's unique translucent casing allows for an alluring effect not possible with opaque plastic (please, everyone, more translucency in tech). The left-hand rumble motor in the FH5 controller is clearly visible behind the plastic, and is also painted a bright red across one side (a likely homage to how many brake calipers in high-end cars are painted red). Personalisation is the real key in what the Thrustmaster eSwap XR Pro Controller for Xbox Forza Horizon 5 Edition delivers, and it excels on that front. But you can then also consider that Thrustmaster have their free ThrustmapperX software and App ready on PC and Xbox, with this allowing for even further customisation and adjustment of sensitivity settings, controller vibration and the like. Very little has been left off the table with this one. We’re thrilled Ford and Mercedes-AMG fans can drive the year’s biggest vehicles in-game, thanks to their great partnership.

It made things extra exciting for the team to capture the beauty and realism of these vehicles, and we can’t wait for the fans to get their hands on them.

GameSpot's Forza Horizon 5 review scored the racing game a 9/10. "Forza Horizon 5 is another meaningful evolution of the series as opposed to a reinvention, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's a case of more of the same," reviewer Alessandro Barbosa said.
