Forza Horizon 5 Drifts Onto PS5 in April

Forza Horizon 5 speeds onto PlayStation 5 this spring! Mark your calendars for April 25th – that's the release date for those grabbing the Premium Edition ($99.99). Everyone else can join the fun starting April 29th.

This confirmation comes straight from the official website, alongside exciting news of a major update hitting all platforms on April 25th. Dubbed "Horizon Realms," this update delivers four new cars, a revamped Horizon Stadium racetrack layout, and a nostalgic trip back to beloved community-favorite environments from previous games.

PlayStation 5 players can expect the full Forza Horizon 5 experience, mirroring the Xbox and PC versions. This includes all previously released content, such as the Car Packs, the exhilarating Hot Wheels expansion, and the adventurous Rally Adventure expansion.

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 reflects a growing industry conversation about the viability of exclusivity in the face of soaring development costs and the potential for increased sales through wider platform availability. Xbox is leading the charge in this cross-platform approach for first-party titles.

Our initial review awarded Forza Horizon 5 a perfect 10/10 on its Xbox/PC launch. We wholeheartedly recommend this game to PlayStation owners. As our reviewer eloquently stated, it's "the result of a racing studio at the peak of its craft and the best open-world racing game I’ve ever played."
