Forza Horizon 5: PS5 Launch Confirmed for April

Forza Horizon 5 speeds onto PlayStation 5 this spring! The highly anticipated racing game arrives April 25th for Premium Edition owners ($99.99), and April 29th for everyone else. This confirmation comes directly from an official announcement, which also revealed a major update dropping on April 25th across all platforms.

This update, dubbed "Horizon Realms," delivers four new cars, a redesigned Horizon Stadium racetrack, and a nostalgic trip down memory lane with community-favorite environments returning from previous installments.

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 Car Packs, the Hot Wheels expansion, and the Rally Adventure expansion.

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 exclusivity in the face of soaring development costs and potentially limited sales.

Having awarded Forza Horizon 5 a perfect 10/10 upon its Xbox/PC release, IGN wholeheartedly recommends this title to PlayStation owners. Our reviewer 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."
