Technical details and storage requirements 🎮

On Xbox Series X and S, the game is already available for download, taking up 135 GB on the Series X and 130 GB on the Series S. On PC, the required space is 160 GB and an SSD is mandatory. Regarding graphics modes, the Series X offers two options: Quality with native 4K at 30 FPS and better visual effects, and Performance with dynamic 4K at 60 FPS and lower quality.

The mandatory SSD: goodbye to grandma's hard drives 💾

If you still have a 500 GB mechanical hard drive from 2010, bad news: Forza Horizon 6 forces you to use an SSD. Playground Games seems determined to make loading times so fast that you won't have time to make yourself a coffee. That said, with 160 GB taken up, you might have to delete that collection of kitten photos to make room.
