The age-old debate between console loyalists about which racing game reigns supreme—Xbox's Forza or PlayStation's Gran Turismo—has been reignited with exciting news for PlayStation enthusiasts. Previously, the choice between these iconic franchises often came down to which console you owned, but that's about to change. PlayStation owners now have the opportunity to dive into the world of Forza and settle the debate themselves.
Forza Horizon 5 is set to make its grand entrance on the PS5. This highly anticipated announcement was shared across social media platforms and has already secured its spot on the PlayStation Store. While fans are eager to get behind the wheel, they'll need to wait until Spring 2025 for the launch, though an exact release date hasn't been specified yet.
The task of porting Forza Horizon 5 to the PS5 has been entrusted to Panic Button, with additional support from Turn 10 Studios and Playground Games. Gamers can expect the PS5 version to be on par with its counterparts on other platforms, including the exciting feature of cross-platform play. This means PlayStation users will be able to race against friends on different consoles, adding a new layer of competition and community to the Forza experience.
To sweeten the deal, a free content update titled Horizon Realms is in the works for all platforms. This update will allow members of the Horizon festival to explore beloved locations from Evolving Worlds, complete with some delightful surprises. It's an exciting time for Forza fans, as this update promises to expand the already vast and vibrant world of Forza Horizon 5.
