Forza Horizon 5 will require PS5 players to link a Microsoft account to their PlayStation Network account in order to play. This linking process occurs at the first game load and restricts players to relink only to the originally linked Microsoft account if they choose to unlink later. Compounding the limitations, there is no cross-platform saving, meaning progress on the PS5 won't carry over to Xbox or Steam. Players also need a PlayStation Plus subscription for multiplayer access, and a physical disc release isn't planned. This is part of a trend seen in console-exclusive games requiring Microsoft account linkage.
