At a glance
Forza Horizon 5 on a Mac is not great so far: the only player report (8 October 2026, M4) rates it 2 out of 5.
Forza Horizon 5 came out on Steam on 8 November 2021, made by Playground Games.
Will Forza Horizon 5 run on a Mac?
Players ran Forza Horizon 5 on Apple Silicon Macs through the same kind of compatibility layer Uncork uses:
| Date | Mac | macOS | Rating |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8 Oct 2026 | M4 | 27.2 | 2 / 5 |
Graphics in the reports: D3DMetal.
What your Mac needs
You need a Mac with Apple Silicon (M1 or newer): Uncork does not run on Intel Macs.
Steam requirements list at least 8 GB of memory for Forza Horizon 5; 16 GB recommended.
An 8 GB Mac is tight; 16 GB is more comfortable.
Allow about 110 GB for the game and another 5 GB for Uncork and Steam (their size in our fresh-install check in October 2026).
Forza Horizon 5 uses DirectX 12: Uncork renders it with D3DMetal.

What we have not tested
We haven’t run Forza Horizon 5 ourselves, so we don’t know the frame rate on your Mac, how online play will work and how controllers will work.
