Get ready, PlayStation 5 enthusiasts! The highly acclaimed Forza Horizon 5, previously exclusive to Xbox and PC, is set to race onto the PS5 this spring. Mark your calendars for April 25 if you're opting for the Premium Edition, priced at $99.99, or April 29 for the standard release. This exciting news comes directly from the game's official website, accompanied by the announcement of a significant update, Horizon Realms, launching across all platforms on April 25.
The Horizon Realms update promises to enrich the Forza Horizon 5 experience with four new cars, a fresh racetrack layout at the Horizon Stadium, and a nostalgic return to beloved environments from previous community favorites. PlayStation 5 players will have access to the full spectrum of content available on other platforms, including Car Packs, the thrilling Hot Wheels expansion, and the adventurous Rally Adventure expansion.
Forza Horizon 5 is part of a growing trend where Xbox exclusives are making their way to other consoles, following in the footsteps of titles like Sea of Thieves and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. This move by Xbox is sparking industry-wide discussions on the viability of exclusive titles, especially as game development costs soar and exclusives potentially cap sales potential.
Forza Horizon 5 received a stellar 10/10 from IGN upon its initial release on Xbox and PC, with our reviewer proclaiming it "the result of a racing studio at the peak of its craft and the best open-world racing game I’ve ever played." PlayStation owners, prepare for an unparalleled racing adventure that promises to live up to its high praise and bring the joy of Forza Horizon 5 to your console.
