This is the discussion thread for an article on GTPlanet:

Forza Horizon 5 PlayStation 5 Launch Confirmed for April 29, New Horizon Realms Mode for All​

Barely a month after revealing that Forza Horizon 5 would be the first racing game to make the jump from being Xbox exclusive onto the PlayStation, Microsoft has announced the official launch date: Tuesday April 29...

Welcome to Forza Horizon and Mexico, ye neighbors from other parts of the forums!

Enjoy our weather, beaches, and smooth digital roads, but please do not stray late at night...

The Llorona (Wailing Lady) stalks the highway!!!

Are we getting this before even a SECOND TRAILER for GTA 6? Or a single extra image or information?

Also, the new car pack.. they seem to really be trying to go head-to-head with Gran Turismo huh..

1989 Nissan Pao, 1991 Nissan Figaro, 1989 Nissan Scargo, 1987 Nissan Be-1...

...car roster in Forza feels more Gran Turismo-ish than Gran Turismo itself these days 😁

So if this sells well do we think that Forza Motorsport will come to PS5?

Which edition to buy? I am interested in the dlcs not car pass and cosmetic stuff

I don't see THAT happening. This is only possible because this is more something that can co-exist alongside GT. If anything, I suspect this is huge test to see what Horizon can do post life as an Xbox only franchise so if its a success, this will more likely mean Horizon's Future is definately on Playstation as well as other platforms (which by extension, means Horizon 6 will likely be PS5 bound). Can't see the same being said about Forza Motorsport for obvious reasons (Assuming Microsoft hasn't already decided to drop Motorsport, which to me isn't out of the realm of possibility given how Gravity Rush's Developer was readily dropped despite major sales success)

Looks like hell has well and truly frozen over.

I'm still in disbelief of this happening, either Forza title coming to PS5 just seemed...unthinkable. There has been a mental rule in my head that Playstation would be only GT and Xbox would only be Forza.

I might give it a try, I have FH5 on PC right now since I never got a Xbox Series X and I went for PS5. But I would love to finally play this on console for once.

----
On that note, I don't know about FH5 killing GT due to the different genres. But I can see casual players that currently play GT7 wanting to give FH5 a try. Like players that open those cruise lobbies for instance. Also, players that might be fed up with GT7's car list.

Well you say that but as a kid growing up in the late 80s early 90s I would never have believed Mario and sonic would appear on the same console never mind the same game!

Until you SEE them.

Until you SEE them.

Why? They're not legacy models.

I'm sorry for my poor Google–no–jutsu, but has there been any official word on which wheels are supported by Horizon 5 on the PS5?

My DualSense is drifting more than Takumi if he starred in Tokyo Drift, and I only have my T300RS to drive with. Don't feel like giving in to evil Sony and getting another DS5 just for it to start drifting in another 6 months

This may sound like a silly question but is this going to be a car pack which you purchase rather than time-gated FOMO content?

The four Nissans are a paid car pack (and retroactively included in the recent bundle of all paid car packs), whereas the other four cars appear to be unlocked by progression in Horizon Realms, probably from completing accolades. The Realms content will be permanently available - the last FOMO car was the 1995 Mustang Cobra R last month.
