How to change the radio in Forza Horizon 5

If you’ve been stuck listening to the constant bass drops of Horizon Bass Arena when you’re feeling something a little more classical, changing the radio station is a pretty easy task – when you know how.

Change Forza Horizon 5 radio: Console

Changing the radio on console just requires a little click of the D-Pad, the directional buttons found on the left-hand side of your controller.

To flick forwards, click the right button on the D-Pad. Skipped your favorite? There’s no specific bind to go back on console, so if you want to assign one you’ll need to do so via the ‘Controls‘ menu in ‘Settings.’

The D-Pad will be your best friend during your Forza adventures.

Change Forza Horizon 5 radio: PC

In order to switch radio stations on PC, the default keybind is “=,” the equals sign.

You can also add your own keybind to flick backward instead of forward, as there’s none assigned from the onset. Just like with controller, you can do that by going to ‘Settings,’ then ‘Controls.’

Changing the radio is just the click of a key away.

How to turn the radio off

If “safety first” is very much your motto, you may want to turn off the music entirely so that you can concentrate on the twisting turns of Mexico’s open plains.

As you flick through the stations, you’ll have a “radio off” option after you’ve exhausted the game’s list of radios. Leave it on this, and you’ll be listening to the sounds of smashing cacti and tooting horns in no time.
