Either this is just their branding for PlayStation and Switch consoles, or Xbox Game Studios is about to be renamed.

April 25, not bad. The listing on the store also changed and it's showing pro enhanced, for all those that were worried.

 

[Fabieter]

This has the chance to sell 10m on Playstation.

Releasing April 29th according to PS Store

Edit: Ah, of course they have the Early Access aka Fomo tax

 

[Skifi28]

That's for the premium edition.

You're right, I forgot they did that.

I hope for Vr mode for my psvr2.

Wtf 70 bucks for the standard edition is worse pricing than sony is doing on pc for their late ports.

Sounds like Sony doesn't want Xbox on their store front. Sony removed everything that was Turn 10, PlayGround Games, Microsoft, Xbox and the developers that did the port from the trailer as well.

They could return to this as they’re de-emphasising Xbox in general…

 

[lughnasadh123]

Well worth the price.

No it hasn't, you are vastly overestimating this game

 

[NeverYouMind]

As a weekly player of Forza Horizon 5 that is weird. These were seasonal themes rotated every month. Does that mean all of them can be hopped across at will?

 

[Synastry]

I'm beyond excited for this.

Also thank you mod team for fixing the title and adding more info to my post I'll do better next time.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Would love to double dip and play on the Pro with my wheel, but this is expensive.

 

[Astray]

Early access on a +5 year old game lmao.

Reminds me of how the heavy Champions League branding is absent from the Xbox version of EAFC, which really affects the authenticity

 

[RetroGamingUK]

Compared to no access to Sony games on Xbox lmao

Oh, nice edit, lol. Or I need glasses.

 

[Sooner]

Early access. Now they're pulling this BS on P5.

I am probably going to pick up Marathon for my Xbox Series X.

 

[M1chl]

It was in the original, little meme from way back in the day

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

It's PS5 Pro enhanced, btw.

Edit:

Forza Horizon 5 on PS5 features two rendering modes to choose from: Performance (60fps) and Quality (30fps).

On PS5 Pro, the Performance mode receives increased visual fidelity, while Quality mode adds ray traced car reflections to Races and Free Roam.

I just find it very strange how early access has been so normalized across Microsoft gaming titles, to the point where even half-decade-old games are getting early access. Fans also don't seem to mind this bs either which is even weirder.

The amount of content in that premium edition was easily enough to push it without FOMO bullshit imo.

Keep hoping, they don't even have a VR mode for Forza Motorsport.

You're bad at calendars.

Any late port should never have his fomo bullshit anyways.

They're slowly switching the branding back, easier to pull it on other console platforms first.

It will say the same on Switch games.

[dreamstation]

The price is a bit disappointing. I was hoping they would follow the Sea of Thieves/Grounded pricing scheme. Will wait for a decent sale down the track.

 

[diffusionx]

heh don't worry kid, this isn't gonna hurt... well maybe a little...

 

[Certinty]

Will only buy if I can transfer my Xbox progress over.

Its the best arcade racer on the market for the past 10 years. So no

Nah, this isn't anything new. PS games have been listed as MS Corporation since they put them on other devices. Even going back to Pentiment, Sea of Thieves, etc.

I thought it might do well but they should have come in at much lower pricing imo, like half of what it is and get the excitement up for Forza 6 and launch that day one on PS

SO DOES THE NINTENDO SWITCH.

This early access stuff gotta stop.
