Forza Horizon 5 isn’t exactly new, but it’s been impressively well-supported by Xbox Game Studios and Playground Games, with consistent updates continuing to this day. This recent update may very well be the most significant yet—not only because of the sheer number of additions, but also because it marks the debut of the longtime Xbox exclusive on a new platform.
Let’s break down the finer details, and if you stick around, we’ll also take a look at how updates like this one are part of a bigger trend sweeping the video game industry.
Everything Horizon Realms Adds to Forza Horizon 5
Закрыто
Forza Horizon 5’s latest update, Horizon Realms, is packed with content—so much so that it might just be the largest update the almost-four-year-old game has seen yet.
To start, Horizon Realms brings back 11 previously limited-time Evolving World locations as permanent fixtures. If you’re a Forza Horizon 5 veteran, you’ll be able to revisit old favorites from past events. Or if you picked up the game recently, you now have a whole range of new places to explore, including:
- Retrowave Highway
- Овальная дорожка
- Автомобили и кофе
- Летняя вечеринка
- Neon Airstrip
- Lunar Drift Arena
- День мертвых
- Stadium Maze
- Winter Wonderland
- Парк трюков
- Каток
But that’s not all! Horizon Realms also introduces the brand-new Stadium Track. On top of that, the update adds 17 новых достижений, 45 new accolades и 12 новых значка.
Earning these accolades will unlock four fresh vehicles:
- 2024 Ламборгини Ревуэльто
- Ламборджини Хуракан Стеррато 2023 года
- Кубок Lotus Exige 2018 430 года
- 2022 Hennessey Mammoth 1000 6×6 TRX
И, наконец, есть new DLC Car Pack featuring a lineup of classic Nissans:
- 1997 Nissan BE-1
- 1991 Ниссан Фигаро
- 1989 Ниссан Пао
- 1989 Nissan S-Cargo
Forza Horizon 5 Crosses Over to PlayStation 5
Perhaps even more exciting than the Horizon Realms content itself is what’s happening alongside it: Forza Horizon 5 is now officially available on PlayStation 5.
Once one of the few remaining exclusives from Microsoft’s Xbox Game Studios, Forza now follows in the footsteps of Sea of Thieves by making the leap to PlayStation. Now, the nearly two-decade-old franchise can finally be enjoyed by PlayStation owners.
To top it all off, cross-play functionality is enabled from the get-go, allowing Xbox, PC, and PS5 players to hit the highways together.
Forza Horizon 5 Shows Where Gaming Is Headed
The Horizon Realms rollout for Forza Horizon 5 is another reflection of the live-service and multi-platform approach that’s reshaping the games industry.
Forza Horizon 5 originally launched in 2021, and here it is, still receiving major updates in 2025. But in today’s gaming landscape, that’s becoming the norm. Developers are expected to continue supporting their games long after release. Otherwise, players will quickly move on to titles that offer post-launch content and ongoing support.
While Sony has been reluctant to port its exclusives to Xbox (though it has started bringing franchises like God of War, горизонт, Человек-паук и Последний из нас to PC), Xbox has fully embraced the multi-platform strategy through its Project Latitude initiative. Microsoft isn’t as focused on exclusivity anymore—instead, it’s prioritizing getting its games into the hands of as many players as possible. And for gamers, that’s something worth celebrating.
Hopefully, this trend continues, with Microsoft leading the way—and maybe someday, Sony and Nintendo will follow suit, creating a world where publishers and players alike are part of one big, happy gaming family.
