Forza Horizon 5: PS5 Launch Confirmed for April

by Jonathan Mar 13,2025

Forza Horizon 5 roars onto PlayStation 5 this spring! Mark your calendars for April 25th – that's the launch date for those grabbing the Premium Edition ($99.99). Everyone else can join the fun starting April 29th.

This confirmation comes straight from the official website, alongside exciting news of a major update hitting all platforms on April 25th. Get ready for Horizon Realms, featuring four brand-new cars, a revamped racetrack layout at the Horizon Stadium, and a nostalgic trip back to beloved community-favorite environments from past games.

PlayStation 5 players can expect the full Forza Horizon 5 experience, identical to the Xbox and PC versions. This includes all Car Packs and expansions, such as Hot Wheels and Rally Adventure – no content will be missing.

Forza Horizon 5 joins Sea of Thieves and Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny as Xbox exclusives making the jump to PlayStation. This move reflects a growing industry conversation about the viability of platform exclusivity, especially considering the soaring costs of game development and the potential for limiting sales.

Our initial review awarded Forza Horizon 5 a perfect 10/10 on its Xbox/PC launch. We wholeheartedly recommend this game to PlayStation owners. As our reviewer stated, it’s "the result of a racing studio at the peak of its craft and the best open-world racing game I’ve ever played."
