Forza Horizon 5 Races Onto PlayStation
In an official announcement, Playground Games confirmed that Forza Horizon 5 will be making its PlayStation debut next year. For nearly two decades, the franchise has remained a pillar of Microsoft’s gaming lineup, but in a surprising move, the Horizon Festival is expanding beyond Xbox for the first time.
Players on PS5 will be able to experience the full Forza Horizon 5 package, including:
- Nearly 900 vehicles
- Over 40 themed updates
- Two massive expansions
- Stunning open-world environments
However, DLC packs, unique cars, and expansions like Hot Wheels and Rally Adventure will be sold separately.
Full Cross-Play Support Across Platforms
A major highlight of this PS5 port is cross-play support, meaning PlayStation, Xbox, and PC players can race together seamlessly. Whether you’re a longtime Forza fan or a Gran Turismo veteran looking to try something new, multiplayer competition will be open to everyone across platforms.
A Brand-New Update for All Players
To celebrate the launch on PlayStation, Playground Games is also introducing a free content update called Horizon Realms. While details remain limited, this expansion will allow players to explore fan-favorite evolving worlds, with additional surprises to be revealed soon.
