Forza Horizon 5 speeds onto PlayStation 5 this spring, with a confirmed release date of April 25th for Premium Edition owners ($99.99) and April 29th for everyone else. This announcement, made today on the official website, also revealed a significant update launching across all platforms on April 25th. Dubbed "Horizon Realms," this update introduces four new cars, a revamped Horizon Stadium racetrack layout, and a nostalgic selection of community-favorite environments from past Forza Horizon titles.
PlayStation 5 players can expect the complete Forza Horizon 5 experience, mirroring the content available on Xbox and PC. This includes all Car Packs, the exhilarating Hot Wheels expansion, and the action-packed Rally Adventure expansion.
Forza Horizon 5 joins Sea of Thieves and Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny as Xbox exclusives making the leap to PlayStation. This move by Xbox, a leader in embracing cross-platform releases, fuels the ongoing industry conversation about the viability of exclusivity in the face of soaring development costs and potentially limited sales.
Having awarded Forza Horizon 5 a perfect 10/10 upon its initial Xbox/PC release, IGN wholeheartedly recommends this title to PlayStation owners. Our reviewer lauded it as "the result of a racing studio at the peak of its craft and the best open-world racing game I’ve ever played."
