Forza Horizon 5 Hits PS5: Spring 2025 Release Confirmed!

It’s not unexpected that Microsoft is making some of its exclusive Xbox games accessible on PlayStation. Titles such as “Hi-Fi Rush” and “Sea of Thieves” are currently playable on the PS5, with more games like “Indiana Jones and the Great Circle” set to be released this year. Today, the studio based in England, Playground Games, announced that their highly-praised racing game, “Forza Horizon 5,” will hit the road on the PS5 in Spring 2025.

In collaboration with Turn 10 Studios and Playground Games, Panic Button, a renowned Austin-based studio famous for porting AAA games such as DOOM Eternal, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, and Apex Legends, is developing the Forza Horizon 5 PS5 version. At present, it can be added to your wishlist on the PlayStation Store, although its price remains undisclosed. Given that it aligns with the Xbox Standard Edition’s cost of $59.99, it’s reasonable to anticipate a similar pricing structure. Additional Car Packs and expansions, including Rally Adventure and the Hot Wheels collaboration, will be available for separate purchase once released.

Playground Games has announced that this coming spring, PlayStation 5 gamers can finally journey through Mexico’s stunning highways and attend the Horizon Festival for the first time. With almost 900 cars, over 40 game updates, two expansions, and a plethora of additional content, Forza Horizon 5 will officially be launched on PS5.

We’re thrilled to watch the Forza Horizon 5 community expand as more players join on PS5! We can hardly wait to witness the innovative ideas and exceptional skills these fresh talents, designers, and racers will contribute to our dynamic community.

With the release of PS5, Playground Games is planning to introduce some new features to Forza Horizon 5. Initially, there will be a free content update called “Horizon Realms” available across all platforms. This will essentially be a collection of popular community-created Evolving Worlds, with some being re-released and others hinted at. The specific details about these teased surprises are not yet disclosed, but the developers encourage fans to keep an eye out for more information.

As a fan of Forza Horizon 5, I’m thrilled about the upcoming cross-play feature! This means when the PS5 version launches, PlayStation gamers like me can race alongside Xbox and PC players, creating an even larger community for this amazing open-world racing game.

Forza Horizon 5 debuted in 2021 across Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC platforms. This exhilarating racing title received widespread acclaim, earning a Metascore of 92 on Metacritic, a popular review aggregator site. In our assessment, we awarded the game a near-perfect score of 4.5 out of 5.

If you’re the owner of the console, don’t miss out on trying Forza Horizon 5, either by buying a copy or playing it through Xbox Game Pass. Our review suggests that it could be one of the finest demonstrations of what the next-generation gaming has to offer so far.
