Overview

  • Forza Horizon 5 officially launched on PlayStation 5 on April 29, 2025, marking the franchise's debut on Sony's platform after years as an Xbox and PC exclusive.
  • The PS5 version includes full crossplay with Xbox and PC players, but lacks cross-progression, requiring players to start fresh on the new platform.
  • A day-one patch fixed a crash issue in Photo Mode for PS5 Pro users, though a Logitech steering wheel mapping bug remains unresolved.
  • The game offers extensive content, with a 20-hour main campaign and up to 100 hours for full completion, alongside two major expansions: Rally Adventure and Hot Wheels.
  • Community feedback highlights strong visuals and gameplay but raises concerns about AI difficulty balance, progression depth, and online stability.
