Most of the time, I’m only worrying about one trigger for gas, one trigger for brake, and navigating with the left control stick. The controls are straightforward as well. Even on the iPhone 12 Mini’s screen, the line is easy to see, and I can usually follow it without issue. The most basic activity in Forza Horizon 5 is pretty simple: pick a point on the map or jump into a race and follow the big blue driving line to get to where you need to go. Forza Horizon 5 looks amazing on a phone or a TV. I’ve been playing the game via console streaming with my iPhone 12 Mini plugged into a Backbone One controller, and I’ve been surprised at just how great a fit it is. But Forza Horizon 5’s accessible gameplay and bevy of customizability options means it translates really well to something the size of a smartphone. Yes, the graphics are amazing and are a joy to take in on a big screen. Turns out it’s also a fantastic portable game. On a console that’s largely lacking in big-name exclusives, it’s one of the rare games that really shows what the latest Xbox is capable of. Cars look incredible, and I’ve loved taking in the game’s lush and colorful landscapes as I’ve raced through the streets of Mexico blasting classical music. Forza Horizon 5 is an absolutely stunning showcase of the Xbox Series X.
