The Horizon Realms expansion adds 12 evolving world locations, including 11 previously limited-time locations, and a new stadium track. It also introduces two new gameplay modes-Skill Mode, which involves competing for high scores between realms, and Free Mode, which removes leaderboards and offers a more relaxed, free-play experience. The expansion comes with 60+ accolades, 12 new badges, and 4 new reward cars.
From a technical standpoint, Forza Horizon 5 will feature two rendering modes: Performance, which runs at 60fps, and Quality, locked at 30fps. On the PS5 Pro, players will receive increased visual fidelity, and Quality Mode adds ray-traced car reflections to races and free roam.
Forza Horizon 5‘s jump to PS5 follows Sea of Thieves, Pentiment, and Hi-Fi Rush, which all released on the PlayStation Store in early 2024. As one of the most acclaimed racing titles, players will be eager to get their hands on Forza Horizon 5-available through the PlayStation Store or at local retailers.
