Playground Games has acknowledged a bug where audio on Xbox Series X|S consoles may disappear once starting from Quick Resume. Quick Resume issues on Xbox Series X|S consoles Crashes can also occur when first loading into the game, as Forza Horizon 5 plays the cinematic intro for your assigned Player House or Festival Site. Players report crashes occurring especially during any kind of loading screen, such as loading into a Race Event or online game mode.

Post-launch hotfixes and patches have claimed to fix a number of crashing issues, but crashes can still occur even after these more recent releases. We recommend ensuring Forza Horizon 5 is installed on your internal hard drive for the best possible results and otherwise keeping an eye on official support channels for future updates.

The closed nature of the Xbox console family makes it harder to find potential causes, with no official workarounds detailed at this time.

Updates and patches following FH5's launch may have fixed a lot of the underlying causes for these crashes, but players may still experience them periodically throughout play.
