Playground Games has released a hotfix for the “infinite save” issues that have blighted Forza Horizon 5 on Xbox Series X|S since last week’s update.
The bug was a particularly frustrating one, as players on Xbox Series X|S could find themselves stuck in a save screen when acquiring cars, saving car tunes, or saving car liveries on the new generation consoles. The disappointing factor is that, with the update’s release last Friday, it meant that it took Playground Games the whole weekend to investigate and respond. After investigating and testing a fix on Monday, the hotfix was pushed live yesterday night specifically to Xbox Series X|S consoles.
Today we pushed a hot fix in #ForzaHorizon5 to address the issue where players were stuck when attempting to save on Xbox Series X|S consoles. Release Notes Here: https://t.co/74CILwDGcu
