Should I buy the Steam version or is it better to buy from Microsoft Store?
I want to buy the Premium version of Forza Horizon 5.
I don't know if it's better to buy the Steam version or purchase it directly from the Microsoft Store?
Are there any major differences?
I know that the Steam version is currently on offer for £39.99 here in the UK, however CDkeys are selling the Microsoft store version for only £35.99

MS Store is allegedly better, I can say from personal experience. I've had all three Horizons on MS Store and have had much less issues compared to what people report here. Specially with Horizon 5. Also, take note that the Steam version is a port done by a third party dev team. In the MS Store, you're running the actual thing.

-No launcher
-Smoother running (allegedly)
-Significantly less or no crashes
-No problem with the game not launching
-No issues with wheels not being recognized, or force feedback not responding (except for the Logitech G920)

Again, this is all by personal experience and compared with what people report here on Steam. You do you.

Steam version will have your steam screenshots, badges and achievements.
If you're not bothered by those MS Store would eliminate the extra launcher (Steam).
