Forza 4 or 5 ,which first Xbox Series S?

[wattsndrive90]

Been an xbox player since 360 but oddly enough only played the 2nd or 3rd on 360 which by that point the One was heavily being used so never finished. That all said 4 and 5 are both optimized for X/S but no idea which is better to start with - only thing I can tell right off is 5 has the bigger install size. Input please. which is more fun, best graphics, performance,etc?

I assume you're asking about Forza Horizon 4 and 5. 5 was built as a cross-gen game and thus takes better advantage of the Series S hardware with greater detail and complexity in the environments. It has a ~1440p/30fps mode and a ~1080p/60fps mode, both using dynamic resolution. 4 just runs at 1080p/60 with no other options. Beyond that, I think they're both pretty similar, so go with whichever one you think looks more interesting.

Thanks yeah I'm definitely looking for which game will take the best advantage over my Series S - so I think I"ll try out 5. Thanks you two.

Also thanks for the tech resolutions - I was wondering how 5 especially would perform, and now I know - =).

I'm glad my years of watching Digital Foundry videos has been of use
