Forza Horizon 5 Coming to PS5 in April

Exciting news for PlayStation 5 owners: Forza Horizon 5, previously an Xbox exclusive, is set to hit the PS5 this April. Mark your calendars for April 25 if you're opting for the Premium Edition, priced at $99.99, or April 29 for the standard release. This information comes straight from the game's official website, which also announced the upcoming Horizon Realms update, launching across all platforms on April 25. This update promises to enhance your racing experience with four new cars, a fresh racetrack layout at the Horizon Stadium, and a selection of beloved environments from the community's past favorites.

Last month, it was confirmed that the PS5 version of Forza Horizon 5 will be fully packed with all the content available on Xbox and PC, including Car Packs, the Hot Wheels expansion, and the Rally Adventure expansion. This move marks Forza Horizon 5 as part of a growing list of Xbox-exclusive titles making their way to PlayStation, following in the footsteps of Sea of Thieves and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. As the gaming industry debates the relevance of exclusives amidst rising development costs, Xbox is leading the charge in making first-party titles cross-platform, potentially broadening their audience and boosting sales.

Forza Horizon 5 received a stellar 10/10 from IGN upon its Xbox and PC release, a testament to its quality. Our reviewer praised 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." PlayStation users, get ready to experience this critically acclaimed game for yourselves.
