Forza Horizon 5 Speeds Onto PS5 This Spring!

Following last month's announcement, we now have the official release date for Forza Horizon 5 on PlayStation 5: April 25th for Premium Edition owners ($99.99), and April 29th for everyone else.

This confirmation comes directly from the official website, 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 beloved environments handpicked from community favorites.

As previously announced, 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 discussions about the viability of platform exclusivity in the face of escalating development costs and potential sales limitations.

Having awarded Forza Horizon 5 a perfect 10/10 upon its initial Xbox/PC release, IGN wholeheartedly recommends this title to PlayStation gamers. Our review hailed it as "the pinnacle of racing game development, the best open-world racing game ever created."
