Forza Horizon 5 players can expect some big improvements to the game’s PC version starting on November 8th. That day, the Donut Media series update will give players the option of enabling NVIDIA DLSS Super Resolution or AMD FSR 2. The former is only available to players with NVIDIA RTX graphics cards, though the latter option is available to players with all PC graphics cards. The game will also offer new improvements to ray tracing thanks to two new settings. The game’s current Medium and High ray tracing settings will operate as before, exclusively in Forzavista. However, the new Ultra and Extreme options will see ray tracing working in Races, Photo Mode, and Free Roam.

“Boost your Forza Horizon 5 framerates on PC whilst maximising image quality by enabling NVIDIA DLSS Super Resolution or AMD FSR 2.These resolution upscaling features are coming in the Donut Mediaseries update available to download from the Microsoft Store and Steamon Tuesday, November 8,” the game’s website reads. “In addition, we’re enhancing our DirectX Raytracing implementation on PC with two new presets: Ultra and Extreme,which render true-to-life reflections for the player car in Free Roamand Races, as well as realistic Drivatar reflections in Photo Mode. Raytracing is also available in Forzavista as before.”

Developer Playground Games recommends the Extreme ray tracing option for those using the “ideal” specs on PC, as opposed to the minimum or recommended. The game’s website also states that the team has “nothing to share today” in regards to DLSS 3.0. That would seem to hint at a potential future announcement, but fans will just have to wait patiently until then. Of course, Forza Horizon 5 was already graphically impressive to begin with, but these new updates should be quite exciting for those playing on PC!
