Forza Horizon 5 Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
Update [23 April 2025]: Hell has frozen over (for some), as Xbox mainstay Forza Horizon 5 is now playable on PS5 through early access ahead of a larger 29 April release. The PS5 version of Horizon 5 includes all DLC and the new Forza Realms update, and is perfect for PS5 players who’ve not experienced the title yet.
Forza Horizon 5 was well worth the wait for PS5 owners, who are getting the incredible racing game in its most content-rich state yet.
Forza Horizon 5 has finally landed on PS5 and it opens the roads for new players to experience this fantastic racing game. While it has a few visual hiccups, they are so minor and never distract players from the gorgeous and high-speed experience.
Though it’s iterative in a lot of ways, Forza Horizon 5 is a near-faultless open-world racing experience that’s so sure of itself and its offerings that it goes the extra mile to sprinkle in the kinds of fan service that people go wild for. As a game it’s tremendous, but it’s also a brilliant, interactive postcard for a culture that is passionate about few things more than their country and their cars.
Forza Horizon 5 is an absolute treat on PlayStation 5, instantly catapulting itself into the lead for the best racing game available on the platform. This is a game you should be prepared to spend hundreds of hours in, collecting each and every car there is to find while racing to the finish line across countless races and events.
Forza Horizon 5 may not reinvent the wheel, but it sure does make balding tires as compelling and satisfying as ever.
Forza Horizon 5 is an excellent arcade-type racer that puts the player first delivering a quality experience with a litany of modes, events, cars and some deep customisation/tuning options. If you are one of the many PlayStation players clambering for the long overdue return of the MotorStorm series, this is the closest you will presently get to realising that dream.
As we cruise around Mexico in a car emblazoned with Xbox logos and listening to Halo music on the radio, it's fair to say Forza Horizon 5 being on PS5 feels a little surreal.
It may well be more of the same, but Mexico beckons, ravishing the eye and devouring up the miles.
Forza Horizon 5 released back in November 2021 for the Xbox Series consoles and PC. The game was immediately welcomed by fans due to its visuals, new cards, modes, location and other features that make the Horizon entries stand out. With the latest outing taking us to the beaches, towns, and jungles
Forza Horizon 6 is as good as you hoped it would be. Japan has quickly become my favorite location, and the in-game map really does it justice. There's so much to see and do that even after spending the past week with the game, it feels like I've barely scratched the surface. While again, there isn't much in terms of new ideas or innovation, the Horizon series didn't need it. There's already a well-established formula in place, and Playground Games did well to continue delivering one of the best racing experiences you'll ever have with Forza Horizon 6.
