Scheduled for November 9, 2021 (on the 5th if you pre-ordered the Premium Edition), Forza Horizon 5 quickly approximating. If you’re looking forward to it, like many members of the editorial team, pre-download it now. Since the game is quite large (103 GB on the Xbox Series X | S and 113 GB on the Xbox One), it can be quite helpful if you are not lucky enough to have a very fast connection. .
First solution: the Xbox Game Pass application (console and phone)
There are several solutions available to you for this. The first solution is to go through the Xbox Game Pass application on your console. There you will find a tab with the next releases, which you can use to start the download. If you triggered the preinstallation before October 21st, a file of approximately 280MB has already been downloaded to your console or PC. To complete the download you will need to go through the update menu on your device.
Second solution: the Xbox application (mobile and PC)
On the other hand, you can use the Xbox Mobile app and find the title using the search bar. In this case, you don’t need to be the owner of the title (via pre-order or Xbox Game Pass) to start the pre-download. In fact, your console (or PC) will check that you have the title at startup. So this can be interesting if you have pre-ordered the title in physical form or are planning to buy it in store when it is released. This trick (which works on all titles in the Microsoft Store) will save you a lot of time to get started asap Forza Horizon 5.
On the other hand, you may not be able to download the full game (in our case, a file of only 930MB). So we can only advise you to check the size of the downloaded file (and delete it and try again if you have the same error). Unfortunately we couldn’t find a trick to get the title out early! If like us you are impatient, we invite you to watch our gameplay videos on our channel Youtube.
