As the highly anticipated Forza Horizon 5 prepares to hit the PlayStation 5 on April 29, the game’s support team has confirmed a crucial step for players to get started: linking their Microsoft account to their PlayStation Network (PSN) account. This might come as a surprise to some, but it’s a necessary move to access certain features in the game. When players fire up Forza Horizon 5 for the first time on their PS5, they’ll be prompted to log in to their Microsoft account (also known as Xbox Live) before being asked to link it to their PSN account currently logged in on the console.
The team behind Forza Horizon 5 emphasizes that this account linking is a requirement for some Xbox games, and players have the freedom to unlink their accounts at any time. However, in the case of Forza Horizon 5, linking the Microsoft account to PSN is sometimes necessary to access specific content. It’s worth noting that this linking process doesn’t compromise player data, and it’s a straightforward step to get the most out of the game.
One more thing to keep in mind: to dive into the game’s multiplayer mode, a PS Plus membership is required. On the other hand, solo or offline play won’t necessitate a PS Plus subscription, allowing players to enjoy the game’s single-player experience without any additional costs.
Forza Horizon 5 is set to bring its high-octane racing action to the PS5, offering an immersive experience that’s sure to thrill both new and veteran players. With the game’s release just around the corner, it’s essential for players to be aware of these requirements to ensure a seamless gaming experience.
