Forza Horizon 5 will be a visual feast, and thus, it would have been no surprise if the game’s lower slab of entry was pretty high.

That is a 7-year-old CPU and a 5-year-old GPU. Let’s take a closer look at what it will take to get into some Mexican action. In a blog post, Forza’s Alan Walsh stated,
