Forza Horizon 5 Speeds Onto PS5: Release Date Confirmed!
Following last month's announcement, the highly anticipated arrival of Forza Horizon 5 on PlayStation 5 now has a firm release date: April 25th for Premium Edition owners ($99.99), and April 29th for everyone else.
This confirmation comes via an official website announcement, which also revealed a significant game update launching across all platforms on April 25th. Dubbed "Horizon Realms," this update boasts four new vehicles, a redesigned Horizon Stadium racetrack, and a selection of fan-favorite environments from previous iterations.
As previously reported, the PS5 version will be feature-complete, mirroring the Xbox and PC versions. This includes all Car Packs and expansions, such as Hot Wheels and Rally Adventure.
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 pioneer in cross-platform first-party releases, fuels ongoing industry conversations about the viability of exclusivity in the face of escalating development costs and potential sales limitations.
Having awarded Forza Horizon 5 a perfect 10/10 score upon its initial Xbox/PC release, IGN wholeheartedly recommends this title to PlayStation gamers. Our review 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."
