Why my crossplay tab won’t appear when playing Forza horizon ?

*Also Forza Horizon 3 doesn't appear in the "updates" tab in my games and apps.

Thanks for responding appreciate it so it basically means when I get the new console and start up my Forza Horizon 5 I still won’t be able to play online right?

I have Game Pass code but my Forza horizon 5 won’t let me play it only through regular game pass for some reason

It is not the exact same file, it is the pc version which is designed for pc.

because the game is part of the play anywhere program, therefore owning it on console gives you access to the pc version too. so cross progression like your saves will work, the game just does not have crossplay from pc to console.

there are limited amount of games that are part of the play anywhere program. some allow crossplay most don't.

other games that are play anywhere like forza horizon 4 and 5, halo etc are crossplay.

crossplay is down to the developer if they want to include it or not.

Some version of Forza do appear to support split screen mode in free-play. Forza horizon 4 does not appear to be one of them though. Racing games are getting very resource intensive on the consoles and that may be the reason why.

Forza motorsport 7 does support split screen and is considered a top notch racing sim.
