Exciting news for PlayStation 5 enthusiasts! Following last month's announcement, we now have the official release dates for *Forza Horizon 5* on PS5. Mark your calendars: those opting for the Premium Edition, priced at $99.99, will get to hit the road on April 25, while the standard edition will be available to everyone else on April 29. This information comes straight from the game's official website, which also revealed a significant update, Horizon Realms, set to roll out across all platforms on April 25. This update promises to enhance your gaming experience with four new cars, a fresh racetrack layout at the Horizon Stadium, and a nostalgic return of beloved environments from past community favorites.
As previously announced, *Forza Horizon 5* on PS5 will not skimp on content. Players can expect the full suite of features available on Xbox and PC, including Car Packs, the thrilling Hot Wheels expansion, and the adventurous Rally Adventure expansion. This comprehensive package ensures that PS5 gamers will enjoy the same exhilarating experience as their counterparts on other platforms.
*Forza Horizon 5* is part of a growing trend of Xbox-exclusive titles making their way to PlayStation, following in the footsteps of *Sea of Thieves* and *Indiana Jones and the Great Circle*. Xbox's move towards cross-platform releases for its first-party titles is sparking industry-wide discussions about the viability of exclusives, especially as game development costs soar and exclusives potentially restrict sales potential.
When *Forza Horizon 5* initially launched on Xbox and PC, it received a perfect 10/10 from IGN, 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." With such high acclaim, we highly recommend that PlayStation owners dive into this exceptional gaming experience.
