Screen Glitching on Forza Horizon 5 for Xbox Series X

MikeD411 · Dec 29, 2022

Just bought my Xbox Series X two days ago. Downloaded FH5 from gamepass and it worked fine for about an hour. I then started noticing these random black glitches on the screen. They are most prevalent when viewing a car in the garage but also happen less frequently when driving around, mostly in the sky and less detailed areas of the game. Sometimes the whole screen flashes back but there seems to be no lag in the game. I only have one other game installed so far (F1 2021) and it has no issues. I have searched tirelessly for a solution with no luck. I have reset, cleared cache, moved HDMI ports and messed with all display options on xbox and tv based on recommendations found on other site. Nothing worked. Current TV is samsung q65. Also tried on older 1080p samsung and had the same glitches. Any help would be appreciated. Link to video:

Thanks! The weird thing is, this issue only happens with series x games. Forza horizon 4 looks perfect. It’s just the new multiplayer halo and Forza Horizon 5.

So just tried it on horizon 4 and it glitches the same but its a little more subtle. Maybe an issue with the xbox itself?

It's difficult to say for certain as FH5 is a glitchy mess with frequent issues with rendering etc. I would try playing some other Game Pass games that are intensive and aimed at the Series S/X...so something like Battlefield 2042. Might even be worth trying FH4 as the graphics on that are pretty similar.

If it's only on FH5, then it may simply be a game issue...however, just because it is only on on egame does not exclude the possibility of it being a console fault
