Forza Horizon 5 developers haven’t planned a physical release for the PS5.
Playground Games revealed late last month that their highly popular racing title is finally arriving on PS5 after being an Xbox exclusive for years. Forza Horizon 5 will arrive for PS5 on April 29; however, it will only be a digital release; the developers have “no current plans” for a physical disc at the moment.
After the official X announcement, many players asked whether Forza Horizon 5 would receive a physical release on the PS5. The developers confirmed and reiterated several times on the thread that they have “no current plans” for such a release. The developers also confirmed that there are no cross-saves between Xbox and PlayStation 5.
Forza Horizon 5 on PS5
On the PS5, players will be able to experience Forza Horizon 5 in two modes: Performance (60 fps) and Quality (30 fps). The game will also receive PS5 Pro support on release, with increased fidelity for Performance mode and ray-traced car reflections in Races and Free Roam for Quality mode.
The game comes in three editions: Standard, Deluxe, and Premium. Standard provides the base game with free content and the upcoming Horizon Realms update. The Deluxe edition will add an extra 42 cars through the Car Pass. The Premium edition will include all the previous content along with both Forza Horizon 5 expansions (Rally Adventure and Hot Wheels), VIP Membership, and extra perks that are included in the Welcome Pack.
Pre-ordering the premium edition will also provide players with early access from April 25, 2025. Normal pre-orders will reward players with a special bundle.

Save money and make even more money great idea. While Sony burns Microsoft software wise will thrive in gaming not sure about making profits line up or the costs of the physical consoles but they’ll make more money on game sales. With their AI tech they should remake/remaster all the old Xbox and 360 stuff port it to PS5 same with PC and maybe now Sony allows Game Pass on PS5
