''Forza Motorsport 5'' is a launch title for the UsefulNotes/XboxOne, and is widely regarded as the console's very first KillerApp with ''VideoGame/DeadRising3''. Improvements over ''Motorsport 4'' include the ultra-high detail Autovista mode on ''every single car in the game'', cloud-based racing profiles - the game logs how you drive, and create an AI profile on the Xbox Cloud which emulates exactly how you drive, on any track, dramatically improved graphics (especially in texture resolution and car/world lighting), and more realistic tire physics. The game can also simulate the advanced assists available on high-performance cars, such as the Nissan GT-R's high-tech launch control. Also, open wheel cars make their debut, including vintage UsefulNotes/FormulaOne cars and [[IndyCar Dallara DW-12s.]]
