At launch Forza Horizon 5 weighed in at roughly 103 GB to download on PC (both the Microsoft Store and Steam builds) and on Xbox Series X|S, while the older Xbox One version was actually larger at about 116 GB because its assets are not optimized for next-gen SSD streaming. Playground Games lists 110 GB of free storage as the install requirement on PC, and strongly recommends installing on an SSD for far faster loading. Real-world footprint grows over time: the game has received years of content updates, seasonal drops and two paid expansions (Hot Wheels and Rally Adventure), so an install with everything applied runs meaningfully higher than the base figure. The PS5 edition, released in April 2025, carries the same content and is comparable in size at around 110 GB. Because storefront totals shift with every patch and depend on which expansions and car packs you own, always check the current figure on Steam, the Microsoft Store, the Xbox dashboard or the PlayStation Store before downloading, and budget extra headroom for updates.
