The long-rumoured news that Forza Horizon 5 is making its way to the PlayStation 5 has finally materialised with the open world racing game hitting the Sony platform this Spring.

For years now, the idea that the Forza Horizon series could make its way to PlayStation 5 has gone from a thought to a dream and then rumours. But now, we can say that the series' latest entrant, Forza Horizon 5 is coming to the Sony console, now covering all three major platforms.

Forza Horizon 5 On PS5: Cross Play For All Platforms​

In a statement, it has been announced that the open world racing game set in Mexico will be making its way to the console this Spring.

The PS5 version is said to be in development by Panic Button, a team best known for AAA ports to the Nintendo Switch as well as the console version of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. Though the team was also involved in the Xbox variant of the previous Forza Horizon title.


Much like the current versions of the game, the PS5 edition will support cross-play with all existing platforms meaning every Forza Horizon 5 player has the chance to meet up somewhere in the streets of Mexico. In addition, existing DLC such as the multitude of car packs and larger Hot Wheels and Rally Adventure expansions will be available for purchase.

Whilst there is currently no date, nor price attached to the game's PS5 release, it is available to wishlist on the PlayStation Store.

Horizon Realms​

Additionally, to celebrate the incoming release, Playground games is working on a new content update dubbed Horizon Realms allowing the community to access previous versions of the map's different variations. Typically, these Evolving Worlds focus on the Stadium's differing uses depending on a Festival Playlist's theme much like last year's Drift Arena.

Motorsport gets my blood pumping more than anything else. Be it physical or virtual, I'm down to bang doors.

This is a great addition for the PS platform, this kind of racing game is missing from it. I am certainly not getting it on PS5 as I have it on PC (and stopped playing because of the FOMO style of new content anyway - one week is just too strict). I am more optimistic about the next one coming to PS sooner, though some gameplay loop redesign is needed in my opinion for it to be exciting.
 
The comments on socials are hilarious. Someone claiming that because it's ps5 pro enhanced it will look better than it does on pc or Xbox series x. Shows the sort of clowns that think playstation is the best thing since sliced bread.

And before anyone starts I've got an Xbox and a playstation and the playstation never gets touched because the games are crap compared. Not to mention the fact the controller is hideous compared to the xbox controller.

PS5 Pro is going to be *THE* sim racers solution to ensure no cheating. although it also means gate kept modding, but totally worth it for any possibility of actual racing, which requires accountability/PSN acct and non tampered with/cheat using PCs.

PS5 Pro already has Gran Turismo 7, Asetto Corsa, Wreckfest, The Crew, F1 24, Asetto Corsa Competizione.
PS5 Pro will have Tokyo Xtreme Racer '25, Forza Horizon 5
Hopefully PS5 Pro will get LiveForSpeed and BeamNG

And with the Fanatec DD+ in 250hz mode, it's sublime.

I suspect moza and others might get busy on a native full featured set of wheels, pedals and DDUs soon.

All companies make money where they can and if cross platforming is where it's at then so be it, that however doesn't make a single platform the best for everyone, I have a PS4 and GT7... they get no use whatso ever, after bagging a couple of hundred cars and 25mcr spare I simply stopped playing and went back to games and sims on the PC that can be modded and play'd the way I want to play.
I'm glad you're happy with your PS5 (couldn't get one at day one of GT7) however Sony have had all the money they're gonna get from me... except perhaps for a Gran Turismo port to the PC, GT4 would be best but if modders can do stuff with GT7,OK

However, this is about Horizons 5 and I'm not as keen on it (I felt 4 was better) but good for folks that want it!
 
Is this Microsoft trying to sabotage Playstation?

Microsoft = "For the Players" they earned that Sony slogan imo. Way better than gatekeeping and forcing to buy a console. Never ever will i support such "business model". It's the oposite they get me to do with that = not buying a console for "Exclusive" games. That deal is just bad.


but if modders can do stuff with GT7,OK

Yea as exmple get rid of the fun ruining grind and credits for cash to lower players frustration and having finally real and great gameplay and players to enjoy the full game and every car and track when and as much as they want.


My general GT7 rant, "opinion" on some things for adult eyes⚠^^
Mods pls delete this part if it's too harsch for the forum or let me know so i do it.

If for the average player with just a couple hours per week time for their hobby the gameplay includes boring grinding the "best track for credits" and on top having credits for cash then imo you just failed as developer or you are an big A... that do not want players to enjoy your game and isntead showing them the middlefinger right in the face. You could just make a game to enjoy and let players having fun. You can get still cashflow in post release without having grind to force microtransactions and so forcing frustration and let players have all the fun. It is possible with happy players they tend strongly to buy good post release content and they have good content. And of course Sony knows that but they don't give a ****. Such an unsympathic brand to me, i could never ever spend a cent for such mindset/business model to support it regardless if its the exclusives gatekeeping with hardware or grind forced microtransactions. How can you feel good doing it, supporting that so making sure it will stay for GT7 and for sure what ever comes next ? I do not get it.

Just imagine Turn10 would do it like Sony/PD does ? The Shitstorm would be INSANE. But from GT players nothing ? Just acceptance ? Swalloing it like prof. XXX actors ? Until the next update with "free cars"

You do realize that MS and Xbox has been far behind PS for the last two console generations, so they are changing their business model. If they were leading, they wouldn't be going multiplatform. Sony, MS as well as any big "AAA" gaming corp is "for the money" and not the player.
 
Such angry comments! Meanwhile I'm just like "Hey, I've heard folks like FH, now more people can play". Pretty happy with my PS, good to know that FH is coming over too. Even better if it's all properly cross-playable etc!

Regardless what I think about this whole idea that the PS5 is going to be any solution... why are you mentioning the Pro? People already forgot about the base PS5? Most games aren't getting Pro patches. PC also has accounts by the way, and developers have the option to utilize anti-cheat solutions. In AC you are literally kicked off the server immediately if there is any mismatch in car/track data. And Live for Speed for PS5, what?!
 
Horizon Realms is the single thing I was worried will get lost to time! But setting up your preference on festive map means you can even finish some accolades even after the game will be long gone

I dont get these comments... "Angry comments, but IM civil!" Nobody seemed angry before your comment?

Platform wars aside, the Playstation simply did have anything that compares to this before now so it's great news for any single format games who chose PS.

The one thing that makes me not use my PS5 that much is that I love the Xbox elite controller. So seeing as Xbox is allowing their AAA games on PS5 the least Sony could do in return would be to allow me to use my Xbox controller natively on the PS5 :)
 
Would kind of be painful for xbox players if microsoft adds dualsense adaptive triggers to forza horizon whilst the xbox doesn't have it.
 
Ahhhh F, now we are never going to get FH6....... another 3 years of FOMO FH5...... I am about to throw up every time I see VW Beatle and see anything reminding me on Mehikooooo.....
