Sweet, now this thread is about PlayStation vs. Xbox and Early Access!
Anyway.
www.ign.com
After an announcement last month that Forza Horizon 5 would be coming to PS5 this fall, we now have confirmation of an exact release date: April 25 for those who purchase the Premium Edition for $99.99, and April 29 for everyone else.
This comes from an announcement today on the official website, which also included news of an update arriving to the game on all platforms on April 25. The update, Horizon Realms, will include four new cars, a new racetrack layout at the Horizon Stadium, and a mixture of returning environments selected from past community favorites.
We learned last month that Forza Horizon 5 on PS5 will include all the same content as the Xbox and PC versions, including Car Packs, the Hot Wheels expansion, and the Rally Adventure expansion, will all be included too.
Forza Horizon 5 is just one of several previously Xbox-exclusive games that's headed to PlayStation, with Sea of Thieves and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle preceding it. While Xbox is the first of the three major platform holders to really push for cross-platform first-party releases like this, there's been increasing discussion in the industry as to whether or not exclusives really make sense for most major releases given how expensive games have become to make, and how exclusives can limit sales.
We gave Forza Horizon a coveted IGN 10/10 on its Xbox/PC launch, so needless to say we recommend PlayStation owners dig in. At the time, our reviewer said it's "the result of a racing studio at the peak of its craft and the best open-world racing game I’ve ever played."
Anyway.

I remember this very game having early access and when I checked the in game leaderboards before regular launch it had over a million people
I dont know what they consider a success but that seems like a decent amount to me buying the premium edition

I'm glad

made me realize how shit this practice is.Imo, a boycott could make MS change their ways.
If lack of sales got them to bring their games to Playstation and Nintendo, maybe a Forza boycott could force them to step away from these predatory practices.

Sony has done it. Ubisoft. Xbox. EA. The number of games available as Early Access on Steam is off the charts.

yeah I was thinking we’d see the late port launch discount like when Epic/Ubi exclusives come to Steam later
I’ll wait for an eventual sale assuming it gets a good boost on the Pro, otherwise why would I play this version over my Steam Deck? at full price I mean

Should be and we likely still have a GAF club on there though doubt its very active anymore
But still a group to hang out and try to beat fellow gaffers records.
I will be sure and be on a few days after PS launch and get people in if they search GAF under clubs and ask for an invite

Yeah it usually doesYeah, but FH5 premium edition had a bit more than just early access.
No way I would buy it for just early access it has to include some future DLC for me to bite

ITT people are not reading the Premium edition comes with car packs, DLC maps, and other perks including early access.
Base game is always available.

I was tempted to get Avowed early access, but realized that I was all I was paying for and decided not to.

Go ahead and list them then.
Should be easy considering the number is "off the charts".

Same. I elected to have more patience with that one. Not sure what happened to me with PGA Tour 2K25 though

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Same. With Starfield, they threw in the expansion with it, so it was an easier buy-in.

It would be cool to have all players on the same leaderboard. I havent played in a while, but Id get on to play again if its crossplay. I got a ton of stuff to catch up with. I think pc and xbox players are on the same leaderboard already, so it would be odd with PlayStation having a separate one.
By being dead?

Making it part of an expansion makes a lot more sense. Still.....think I would rather everyone get the game at the same time. I say that from a community perspective as I enjoy discussing the game with my fellow gaffers as we play. Staggered launches offset the conversation a bit.

Yes, you should wait. I think it's available tomorrow? I was excited about the access to Sunday Red clothes from Tiger, but I have already changed out of those clothes. FWIW, uninstall First Look. The final game doesn't unlock first look.

Another thing it does is give more chances to spoilers. At least for story driven games.

Steam says midnight tonight so yeah will wait now

If you’re already playing Forza Horizon 5, be sure to share the news with your PS5 friends and invite them to join us at the Horizon Festival as cross-play will be available between all platforms!

The amount of progression tracking in this game is off the charts. And no, I won't be spending a dime of real money on the game. $119 was more than sufficient for themI will get it uninstalled thank you for the heads up

People would double dip if it was cross-save. Unfortunately it's not even cross save between Xbox and PC. If MS is all about making it easier on the gamer why cant this be a thing? Just log in to a MS account(like Minecraft) and take your progress with you regardless of where you play.

It’s not cross save between Xbox and Steam but it is cross save between Xbox and PC if you use the Xbox app

I hoped for $50, but $60 isn't terrible. Yeah yeah 4 year old game blah blah. It's a flagship game that is still the same price on its original platforms, so I don't see the problem in the slightest.
Interesting to see the PS5 Pro still has 2 separate modes.

I think this will easily be their best selling title to date (at least until Gears and Halo drop) but 10M seems high. Do we know what Sea of Thieves sold?

Oh yeah a boycott, good luck with that
What other ‘gas’ is there to step on? Nothing is off limits and Xbox has gone fully third party now.
Pretty sure we’ll see a lot of Xbox games at the Switch 2 Direct in April.
At least this one will.

Day one releases on PS is the "other gas".
If you wait for two months, you’ll be able to take advantage of the SpecSavers Easter deals!
The only reason Day one release on PS is not the norm now is because the pivot to third party didn’t happen early enough for it to be planned in.
Very likely games that are 2026 and further will be day one. Including stuff like the upcoming Halo, Blade and Elder Scrolls 6.
MS certainly isn’t leveraging timed exclusivity for anything else again.

Ngl it has the best shot.
It's the last good Xbox franchise they've got (that isn't COD or TES).
Edit:
Tbh, Fable pre-alpha footage looks good.

I agree, very likely. All I'm saying is that revenue boost due to PS ports will have an impact on how likely.

This pro support is pushing me towards a purchase. Far to much to play right now but I might buy the ultimate edition next year at some point.
