Forza Horizon 5 takes the popular racing game series from Playground Games into its next round. This time your journey takes you to Mexico, where not only a varied game world awaits exploration. At the same time, the developers of Playground Games want to use the hardware of the Xbox Series X/S to make the next big step in terms of acoustic implementation.
The keyword in this case is: Next-Gen Raytracing-Audio. A technology that is supposed to offer you a particularly realistic soundscape. But what is hidden behind the Next-Gen Raytracing-Audio in detail? You can compare the technology with the 3D audio feature of the PlayStation 5, which ensures that the environment reflects and reflects sound effects such as engine sounds in a realistic way.
A realistic soundscape for more atmosphere
As an example, Playground Games mentioned moments when you drive through a tunnel. Thanks to the raytracing audio, the sounds of your vehicle are released into the game world, where they hit walls, oncoming vehicles or other objects and are reflected by them in a realistic way. In order to create even more realism, each object will have its own individual absorption coefficient. Assuming an appropriate playback device, it will sound completely different if you are, for example, in a rainforest or in a city.
However, that's not all. Furthermore, the developers of Playground Games promise that the audio files on the Xbox Series X/S will be set to a new compression format. This enables the British studio to make all the sounds contained on the Xbox Series X/S sound in a higher quality than will be the case in the Xbox One version of Forza Horizon 5.
For example, if you are driving in a convertible, you will immediately notice on the Xbox of the new generation whether you are currently driving through the country with an open or closed top. In addition, the engine noises have been completely revised in direct comparison to the predecessor Forza Horizon 4 in order to provide the most authentic gaming experience and let the sound effects sound great.
