Last month, it was announced that Forza Horizon 5 will be available on PS5 this fall, and now we have a specific release date. If you buy the Premium Edition for $99.99, you will get the game early on April 25. For everyone else, the game will be released on April 29.
This information was shared today through an announcement on the official Forza website. Along with the release dates, they also mentioned an upcoming update for the game called Horizon Realms, which will be available on all platforms starting on April 25. This update will introduce four new cars, a new racetrack layout at the Horizon Stadium, and some familiar settings from previous games that fans have enjoyed.
It’s important to note that the PS5 version of Forza Horizon 5 will feature all the content found in the Xbox and PC versions. This includes exciting additions such as Car Packs and expansions like the Hot Wheels and Rally Adventure packs.
Forza Horizon 5 is not the only game that has made the jump from Xbox to PlayStation; it follows other titles like Sea of Thieves and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. Xbox has been leading the way among the major gaming platforms in promoting cross-platform releases. As the gaming industry evolves, there are increasing discussions about the value of exclusive games, especially considering the high costs of game development and how exclusivity can limit sales opportunities.
Forza Horizon 5 has received top praise, earning a perfect score of 10/10 from IGN when it launched on Xbox and PC. Our reviewer described it as an outstanding achievement from a leading racing studio and called it “the best open-world racing game I’ve ever played.” This kind of feedback suggests that PS5 owners should definitely check it out when it releases.
