After an exciting announcement last month that Forza Horizon 5 would be making its way to the PS5 this fall, we now have the exact release dates to mark on our calendars. Those who opt for the Premium Edition, priced at $99.99, can start their engines on April 25, while the standard edition will be available to everyone else on April 29.
This news comes directly from today's announcement on the official Forza Horizon website, which also unveiled details about an upcoming update, Horizon Realms, set to roll out across all platforms on April 25. This update promises to enrich the gaming experience with the addition of four new cars, a fresh racetrack layout at the Horizon Stadium, and a nostalgic return of beloved environments from past community favorites.
Last month, it was confirmed that the PS5 version of Forza Horizon 5 will mirror the content available on Xbox and PC, ensuring that PlayStation players have access to the full suite of features, including Car Packs, the Hot Wheels expansion, and the Rally Adventure expansion.
Forza Horizon 5 is part of a growing trend of previously Xbox-exclusive titles making their way to PlayStation, following in the footsteps of Sea of Thieves and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. Xbox's move towards cross-platform first-party releases is sparking industry-wide discussions about the viability of exclusives, especially as game development costs soar and exclusives potentially restrict sales potential.
IGN awarded Forza Horizon 5 a perfect 10/10 score upon its Xbox and PC launch, a testament to its excellence. Our reviewer praised 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," making it a must-play for PlayStation owners eager to experience this pinnacle of racing games.
