Forza Horizon 5 will be available on PlayStation 5 on 29 April, marking the first release of the franchise on the console, leading a new era for Forza fans. This is a new exciting milestone, specifically for those PlayStation users who have never played OS before.
When launching, the PS5 players will get three different variants of Forza Horizon 5. Even though the standard edition is a decent entry point, you should inquire about what’s included in the car pass and whether you want more cars before choosing the Ultimate. The Ultimate edition does not include every car pack. One pack – a Nissan special – does not appear in the Ultimate edition. This could hint at a future Japan theme. But for now, it is limited to an add-on. The Ultimate Car Pack includes these extras. Therefore, for those who want the most content from day one, it’s an option.
Crossplay and Progression
In multiplayer racing, we are all joining the community on PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. However, progression does not carry across platforms. If you’re hoping to import your progress from Xbox or Steam, tough luck—there’s no way to do that for PlayStation players. Cross-save only works between the Microsoft Store versions on PC and Xbox consoles. To play the game, you need a Microsoft account and the game will only be sold digitally, no disc announced.

Always Connected Experience
Forza Horizon 5 on PS5 is a digital-only game. This means you will need an internet connection to download the game, and probably also to play it regularly. You don’t need PlayStation Plus to play by yourself, but you might need to be online all the time. Or at least when you boot up the game.
Content Updates and Replayability
Weekly new content used to be a thing that Horizon 5 had, but that slowed down for the established platforms. Yet for PlayStation players, the content cycle starts all over again, with regular updates and chances to influence content via votes.
The Backstage Pass system allows players to vote on different cars that will come to the car shop in the game. Also, it comes with the Horizon Realms update, adding a slew of new cars, among which is a Lamborghini.
Graphics and Performance on PS5
The graphics on the PlayStation 5 version are unmatched in consoles. Players can choose between 2 modes: Performance (60 frames per second) which gives up smooth and wide racing experience and Quality (30 frames per second) gives enhanced resolution and visual experience. The 30 fps mode of the PS5 Pro supports ray tracing in races, a feature previously offered only on high-end PCs. Since developers haven’t stated the exact resolutions, we can expect at least 1440p on the PS5 Pro for Gran Turismo 7.
Future Content and Support
Forza Horizon 5 will not receive major content updates, but essential fixes will continue to be rolled out as required. View PS5 version as final edition game instead of an ever-expanding platform. With Forza Horizon 6 underway, this will be the case. The Forza sandbox is something a PlayStation newcomer ought to get into through this.
Essential Gameplay Tips for New Players
Car Selection and Driving Experience
The settings for Forza Horizon 5 lean slightly toward simulation, and the choice of drivetrain offers a rich variety of driving experiences. All wheel drive vehicles from the series offer the best balance. Therefore, they are stable for the new to the series. Features like ABS can help make any modern racing game a little less daunting to newcomers and scaling difficulty enables the right challenge.
Upgrading and Tuning
It is best to maximize the performance of a car within its class rather than beyond class limits so that AI can compete fairly and multiplayer races run smoothly. Advanced tuning may be found, but casual players don’t need to worry about it. It’s not hard to find tunes created by the community. These help to increase performance with little effort. Just look for the ones with the best ratings and you can easily boost performance.
Earning Credits and Rewards
Earning in-game currency is very easy with plenty of race rewards and regular wheel spins to get cars and cash. Even those towards the bottom will still benefit as their garages and pockets fill quickly. You can get extra credits for uploading custom liveries and tunes. Some of these have sold for millions in the auction house.
Festival Playlist and Horizon Shop
The tokens for the exclusive cars in the festival playlist will be available via purchase in the Horizon shop with points collected from gameplay activities too.
Progression and Story
Sticking with the main quest is a quick way to level up and unlock new things. Ultimately, the game turns into a genuine playground for car enthusiasts, packed with events, customisation and community interaction.
