Playing Forza Horizon 5 with friends across platforms

Forza Horizon 5 is an open-world racing game set in Mexico, with a festival of events, seasonal activities and a shared online world. Friends can drive together in free roam, join convoys and take on co-op events.

Press guides and reports on the PS5 version say crossplay spans Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC (Steam and Microsoft Store) and PlayStation 5. It is on by default and can be disabled. Crossplay applies to free roam, convoys, Horizon Open, co-op events and seasonal activities. Cross-save is not supported, so your progress does not carry over between Xbox, PC and PS5.

To drive with friends, add them through the in-game system, form a convoy and keep crossplay switched on. If you have progress on one platform, decide in advance which platform will be your main one, because garages and unlocks do not move.
