With nearly 900 cars available in the game, over 40 thematic game updates, two expansions, and so much more content, our team is excited to announce that this spring, PlayStation 5 players will be able to explore Mexico’s beautiful roads and experience the Horizon Festival for the first time as we are officially launching Forza Horizon 5 on PS5.

The PlayStation 5 version of Forza Horizon 5, developed by Panic Button in partnership with Turn 10 Studios and Playground Games, will have the same content as the Xbox and PC releases of the game. Previously released Car Packs, as well as the Hot Wheels and Rally Adventure expansions, will also be available for purchase.

We are excited to see the Forza Horizon 5 community grow with new players on PS5, and we can’t wait to see the creativity and skill these new creators, builders, and racers will bring to our vibrant community.

In addition to bringing Forza Horizon 5 to PS5, we’re working on a special new free content update for all platforms, Horizon Realms. Realms will give players the chance to explore a curated collection of some of the community’s favorite previously released Evolving Worlds, alongside some other surprises. Stay tuned to our channels[linktr.ee] for more details soon.

Wishlist Forza Horizon 5 on the PlayStation Store today to stay informed about updates and release times. If you already own the game on another platform, share the news with your friends in the PS5 community and tell them to get ready to join your convoys as cross-play will be available for all Forza Horizon 5 players across Xbox consoles, PC and PS5.

We look forward to welcoming new players to the Horizon Festival, and we are sure Forza Horizon 5 veterans will share their experience, tips, and tricks to make beginners feel right at home as they start their adventures.

Whether you are adventuring through Forza Horizon 5’s Mexico on Xbox, PC or PS5, we look forward to racing alongside you all at the Horizon Festival this spring.

Starting January 30, 2025, our community will choose the Festival Playlist theme for the following month. A new “Playlist Vote” section will replace the “Coming Soon” screen and will let players vote for one of two previously released Festival Playlist options they want to play next month (similar to how Horizon Backstage voting works). Voting will start in Summer (First week) of each Series and closes at the end of Winter (Third week). Once voting ends, the "Playlist Vote" tab will display the winner of the vote for the duration of Spring (Fourth Week).   

It’s worth noting that some changes have been made to the Festival Playlists, so they might not be exactly as you played them the first time. New EventLab maps different than the ones on the original version of each Playlist will be featured on each Playlist. Backstage Pass rewards will also be added so you can unlock and experience previous exclusive and hard-to-find cars at the Backstage Shop. Playlists that didn't feature our Hot Wheels and Rally Adventure expansions will now include events that take place in those environments. 

The first showdown will be between High Performance[forza.net] and Italian Automotive[forza.net]. Make sure to cast your vote and pick the challenges you want to play the most, Evolving World environments you haven’t experienced, or the rewards you haven’t unlocked yet. 

There’s still more coming to Forza Horizon 5 in the near future! While we are getting that ready, we hope veteran players will enjoy this trip down memory lane, and that new players will enjoy the unique looks and features the Horizon Festival has worn for the past three years!
