PlayStation Players, Start Your Engines This April (2025)
It’s finally happening—Forza Horizon 5 is coming to PS5 on April 29, 2025. After years of being an Xbox and PC exclusive, the open-world racing hit is making the jump to PlayStation, bringing high-speed thrills to a whole new crowd.
A Long Road to PlayStation
Originally released in 2021, Forza Horizon 5 quickly became one of the top open-world racing games, thanks to its massive Mexico-based map and non-stop updates. A few years ago, the idea of a Forza game on PlayStation sounded ridiculous, but rumors started swirling in August 2024. Now, it’s official.
What’s the Price?
Standard Edition: $59.99
Premium Edition: $99.99 (Includes 4-day early access starting April 25, 2025)
Some PlayStation fans might side-eye that price, considering the game has been out on Xbox and PC for years, but at least it’s bringing some strong performance options:
Performance Mode: 60 FPS
Quality Mode: 30 FPS with ray-traced car reflections (for that extra shine, especially on PS5 Pro)
Cross-platform multiplayer so PlayStation, Xbox, and PC players can race together.
Big Update: Horizon Realms
Dropping April 25, 2025, Horizon Realms is a major update bringing:
11 classic Evolving World locations (Stunt Park, Ice Rink, Neon Airstrip, and more)
A brand-new Stadium Track for high-speed racing
Two modes: Skill Mode (leaderboards) and Free Mode (just vibes)
60+ new challenges with rewards like #Forzathon Points, exclusive badges, and four new cars:
2024 Lamborghini Revuelto
2023 Lamborghini Huracán Sterrato
2018 Lotus Exige Cup 430
2022 Hennessey Mammoth 6x6
With Forza Horizon 5 finally landing on PlayStation, the series is stepping onto new ground. Now the real question—will Gran Turismo fans be willing to share the road?
