Hello,
I’m encountering persistent technical issues in Forza Horizon 5 on PlayStation 5 Pro, which significantly impact gameplay and online functionality.
The main issues are:
• Very long loading times (up to 30 seconds) when attempting to:
• Change cars via the in-game map
• Access the Car Collection while in free roam
• In these cases, the screen hangs/freeze-like behavior occurs, and after a long delay, the car list appears.
• Custom tunes from other players also load extremely slowly.
• These issues do not occur when accessing cars from a house or festival site — loading times are normal in those cases.
• General menu navigation is smooth and unaffected.
Additionally:
• Online sessions are unstable — frequent disconnections from Horizon Life sessions without warning.
• I experienced a localized frame drop in a specific part of the map while using Performance Mode, though this happened only once.
I’ve performed the following troubleshooting steps:
• Restarted the game and console multiple times
• Switched between Wi-Fi and Ethernet
• Reset my router
• Logged out and back in to my account
• Rebuilt PS5 database
• Reinstalled the game
None of the above resolved the issue.
For comparison: I own an Xbox Series X and tested FH5 under the same conditions (same network, same account). On Series X, none of these problems occur — car changes and tune loading are instant, and online sessions are stable.
This makes me suspect a platform-specific issue or possible performance degradation on PS5 Pro.
Could this be investigated?
I’d appreciate confirmation if this is a known issue, and whether a fix is being considered. If other PS5 users are affected, I’d be interested in hearing about it too.
Thank you.
