Forza Horizon 5 kommer att lanseras på PS5: Early Access startar 25 april

After much anticipation, Forza Horizon 5, the latest entry in the beloved racing franchise, is finally making its way to PlayStation 5. Playground Games confirmed the release date, which is set for April 25 for Early Access with the "Premium Edition" of the game, and April 29 for the worldwide launch. This marks a huge step for the franchise as it becomes the latest Xbox "exclusive" to leave Microsoft's platform, joining the likes of Sea of Thieves, Hi-Fi Rush, and Grounded that have already made their way to PlayStation and Switch.

For fans of the Forza Horizon series, this release is even more exciting with the inclusion of Trophies. FH5 will feature a slew of Trophies for players to collect as they race across the breathtaking landscapes of Mexico. For the first time ever, players will be able to unlock new reward cars through accolades earned while navigating the game’s diverse environments. It's a racing experience like no other, now enhanced for PlayStation fans.

In addition to the Trophy support, the game will introduce the "Horizon Realms" update, which includes a collection of 12 evolving worlds. Of these, 11 are classic, limited-time realms that players loved in past events, such as Neon Airstrip, Ice Rink, and Winter Wonderland. The 12th world, Stadium Track, will be an entirely new addition, giving players a fresh location to explore and race through. This update promises to keep the game exciting with new challenges and rewards.

For those looking to purchase additional content, Playground has also revealed a Nissan-themed retro pack for sale. And if you preorder FH5, you'll receive a special set of rewards, including backstage passes that unlock exclusive content. The game is shaping up to be the ultimate racing experience with an array of new additions and features.

As for performance, FH5 will run at 60fps in its Performance mode, providing players with smooth, responsive gameplay. For those who want the best graphics, the Quality mode will offer impressive visuals at 30fps. Additionally, FH5 will come with the usual enhancements for Pro players, ensuring that the game delivers an incredible experience for everyone, no matter what mode or device they’re using.

With the official Forza Horizon 5 release on PlayStation, fans of the franchise can now experience all the thrills of racing in Mexico, unlocking new content, and earning Trophies in a visually stunning world. Early Access is just around the corner, so buckle up and get ready for the ride of your life!
