It would also look brilliant in any collection, I imagine, although my personal collection is limited to Cyberpunk 2077's controller. I had my doubts about how well the texture favored by many real-world racing steering wheels would translate to a gaming controller, but those concerns were instantly dashed. We’ve pumped hundreds of hours into Forza Horizon 5, we’ve done nearly the same with the DiRT and GRID series of games, and we are partial to a bit of F1 racing at the weekends. As you play through Forza Horizon 5 and explore our expansive version of Mexico, you can expect cargo planes, an active volcano, a race to the festival under beautiful Mexican skies, and more.

We’re thrilled to unveil the cover of Forza Horizon 5 featuring the Mercedes-AMG ONE, which marks the first time a car features Formula 1 hybrid technology almost one-to-one from the track to the street – putting this power in players’ hands allows them to explore Mexico’s streets and roads in an unprecedented way. And we’re not done there, we’re also beyond excited to showcase Forza Horizon 5’s just-announced cover cars: the Mercedes-AMG ONE and the 2021 Ford Bronco Badlands.

Top-down, the eSwap XR looks great with its Limited Edition Forza trim, with grey on black face buttons in house. Look under the hood of the transparent, yellow finish with a custom-coloured, visible rumble motor and lighting effects that play off the Xbox button. Digital Direct doesn't actually use codes, it links straight to the console (on Xbox ) or on the Windows Xbox App. During the gamescom 2021 Xbox Stream, we showcased what players can expect when hopping into Forza Horizon 5 for the first time, including footage of both of our cover cars, the Mercedes-AMG ONE and the 2021 Ford Bronco Badlands, in action.Thrustmaster class these thumbsticks as their S5 NXG mini-sticks, and we’ve not a single issue with how these feel, concaved nicely to ensure thumb fittage. Button mapping available via the Xbox Accessories app for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and Windows 10; the app for Windows 10 requires compatible USB-C cable (sold separately). Fret ye not, however, as this can be simply remedied by removing the back sections of the pad with a flathead screwdriver or similar to allow access to the rear of the triggers, and simply peel off the rubber strip and taking care to remove any remaining adhesive. And finally, you’ll get to experience the stunning Mercedes-AMG ONE at full speed along Mexico’s sunbaked rocky coast. It must be said though that the Thrustmaster eSwap X Pro Controller for Xbox which powered our gaming sessions at the back end of 2022 was one of the more unique options on the table.
