Forza Horizon 5 Arrives To PlayStation 5 On April 29th

While uncertainty followed Xbox in 2024 surrounding its future business model for first-party releases – Xbox is embracing it at the start of the year. In January, Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer told Destin Legarie there is no defining line where games don’t come to other platforms. “there’s no reason for me to put a ring fence around any game […] What we find is we’re able to drive a better business that allows us to invest in great game lineup like you saw and that’s our strategy.”

Since then, Microsoft has announced three titles coming to PlayStation 5: Forza Horizon 5, Age Of Mythology: Retold, and Age Of Empire II: Definitive Edition. Forza Horizon 5 in particular stood out as its one of Xbox’s most praised releases. “Forza Horizon 5 is the best game in the franchise, and it also might be the perfect arcade racing game,” our review for the game said.

On Thursday, Playground Games announces Forza Horizon 5 is officially launching on PlayStation 5 come April 29th. The announcement is paired with the new update ‘Horizon Realms’ coming that same week. You can watch the reveal trailer in the video below:

“We hope you are looking forward to exploring Forza Horizon 5’s vast open world and features with Horizon Realms across all platforms the game is available on. Remember that you can pre-order any version of Forza Horizon 5 starting today on the PlayStation Store to receive a special bundle; pre-purchasing Premium Edition will grant you Early Access on April 25,” the team writes in the blog post.

“Forza Horizon 5 on PS5 features two rendering modes to choose from: Performance (60fps) and Quality (30fps). On PS5 Pro, the Performance mode receives increased visual fidelity, while Quality mode adds ray traced car reflections to Races and Free Roam.” Pre-ordering on the PlayStation Store will grant users the ‘2021 Mercedes-AMG Mercedes-AMG ONE’, 5,000 #Forzathon Points, and 5 Backstage Passes.
