Forza Horizon 5 Drifts Onto PS5 in April

Forza Horizon 5 Speeds Onto PlayStation 5: Release Date Confirmed!

Following last month's announcement, Forza Horizon 5's PlayStation 5 release date is officially set: April 25th for Premium Edition owners ($99.99), and April 29th for everyone else. This confirmation comes directly from the official website, alongside news of a significant game update.

Launching on all platforms alongside the PS5 release (April 25th), the "Horizon Realms" update delivers four new vehicles, a revamped Horizon Stadium racetrack, and a curated selection of beloved community environments from previous iterations.

As previously revealed, the PS5 version boasts complete parity with Xbox and PC editions. This means all content, including car packs and expansions like Hot Wheels and Rally Adventure, will be readily available.

Forza Horizon 5 joins Sea of Thieves and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle as Xbox exclusives making the leap to PlayStation. This move reflects a growing industry conversation about the viability of platform exclusivity, especially considering the escalating costs of game development and the potential sales limitations imposed by restricting access.

Having awarded Forza Horizon 5 a perfect 10/10 upon its initial Xbox/PC launch, IGN wholeheartedly recommends this title to PlayStation players. Our review hailed 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."
