Forza Horizon 5 PS5 players will need a Microsoft account in order to play

We were used to seeing PlayStation games requiring a PSN account on PC. Sony has since gone back on its strategy, but Microsoft is trying a rather similar approach.

The PS5 version of Forza Horizon 5 will only work if the user has a Microsoft account. A new FAQ published on the license site says so. This will be made when the game is launched for the first time.

Forza Horizon 5 arrives on PS5 on April 29.
