The only difference between the two types of multiplayer is that Forza Horizon 4 offers both split-screen and local multiplayer. Forza Horizon 4 supports split-screen play, but it isn’t a two player game. If you do play it with a friend, the other person will need an Xbox to play the game. The game has a local multiplayer mode. Forza Horizon 5 will be on the Xbox One X. The Xbox One X is an exciting new console that will give you more power than any console before. In addition to 4K, HDR and Dolby Atmos, the Xbox One X includes support for 4K gaming and HDR video streaming, plus it supports ray tracing and super sampling for more realistic graphics. The Forza Horizon 4 boasts over 450 vehicles with unique capabilities depending on their speed, acceleration, and weight. You can unlock cars in the game or get some on the barn near the road if lucky. These features, among others, are what make the game interesting. The lack of split-screen in Forza Horizon 4 is due to the impact it has on Mortal kombat works well with 2 controllers on xbox. Most of the fighting games you can have 2 controllers or more if game allows. Gran turismo is not an xbox title. Forza horizon series is xbox’s ip but it’s not split screen. Crash nitro racing you can get in 4 player split screen. Gears of was series has split screen. The entire Horizon series doesn’t support split screen. So if you’re looking to sit down and race with your mates, you will need to give Forza Motorsport a try. This applies to both PC and Xbox, so you won’t be able to enjoy couch gaming sessions with someone regardless of the platform. For Forza Horizon 4 on the PC, a GameFAQs Q&A question titled "When Forza Horizon 5 comes out will it have split screen multi player?". No, there is no split-screen or any kind of “couch co-op”, only standard online racing. You can join other players online to create a convoy to race and drive around together, but you both need your own console/pc to play together. Only drawback, but a major one, game does not allow for multi-player (split screen) in home via console. Online is the only multi-player avenue, thus requiring kids to wait their turn. Great buy for only child. This review is from Forza Horizon 2 Standard Edition - Xbox One. No, I would not recommend this to a friend. EWBs.
