Exciting news for PlayStation 5 owners: Forza Horizon 5 is making its way to your console this spring! The wait is almost over, with the Premium Edition set to launch on April 25 for $99.99, while the standard edition will be available for everyone else on April 29. This announcement comes directly from the game's official website, which also unveiled a major update, Horizon Realms, arriving on all platforms on the same day as the Premium Edition release.
The Horizon Realms update is packed with thrilling additions, including four new cars, a fresh racetrack layout at the iconic Horizon Stadium, and a nostalgic selection of environments from past fan favorites. This update promises to enhance the already rich Forza Horizon 5 experience across all platforms.
For PS5 players, rest assured that you'll have access to the full suite of content that Xbox and PC users enjoy. This includes all Car Packs, the exhilarating Hot Wheels expansion, and the adventurous Rally Adventure expansion, ensuring that you won't miss out on any of the action.
Forza Horizon 5's arrival on PS5 marks a significant shift, as it follows in the footsteps of other formerly Xbox-exclusive titles like Sea of Thieves and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. This move by Xbox to embrace cross-platform releases is sparking industry-wide discussions on the viability of exclusives, especially considering the rising costs of game development and the potential for exclusives to restrict sales.
IGN's glowing review of Forza Horizon 5 at its Xbox/PC launch, awarding it a perfect 10/10, underscores its status as a must-play title. 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." PlayStation owners, get ready to experience this masterpiece for yourselves!
