Forza Horizon 5was first released back in 2021. Like mostForzagames, it did well, racking up critical nods and sales as players tore across Mexico’s vibrant sandbox. Many tagged it fast as one of the top open-world racers, and Playground Games has kept it fresh through steady content drops ever since. A couple of years back, the idea ofForzahitting PlayStation turf would’ve been laughed off, but whispers kicked off in August 2024, hintingForza Horizon 5might actually make that leap over to PS5.
That speculation became reality in late January when Playground Games announced thatForza Horizon 5will be coming to PS5 in spring 2025. Now it’s confirmed for April 29, and those who purchase the $99.99 Premium Edition will receive four days of early access. The standard version is tagged at $59.99, which may raise some eyebrows since the game has been available on Xbox and PC since 2021. PlayStation 5 players can expect top-tier performance at 60 FPS in Performance Mode or choose Quality Mode at 30 FPS with ray-traced car reflections for an even more immersive ride, especially if they’ve got a PS5 Pro. Plus, the game supports cross-platform multiplayer, so PS5 players can race alongside Xbox and PC folks.
