The official Forza Horizon 5 release date is November 9, but fans will have the opportunity to play it early if they so desire. Those who purchase the Forza Horizon 5 Premium Edition will get early access to the game and be able to jump in on November 5 instead. This will give them a four day headstart against everyone else, which may very well be worth the asking price for diehard fans who don’t want to wait for the Xbox Game Pass version.
Playground Games has an impressive track record when it comes to its Forza Horizon titles, with every game in the series so far releasing to widespread critical acclaim. There’s no reason to think that Forza Horizon 5 won’t enjoy the same warm reception, especially as it’s the most visually-impressive and ambitious game in the series to date. Familiarity and franchise fatigue may set in for some, but it’s likely that this will be the last Forza Horizon game for awhile, which could help matters.
Microsoft may hand the reigns of the Forza Horizon series to another developer, but next on Playground Games’ plate is the Fable reboot. In development as a next-generation exclusive game, the new Fable game is mostly shrouded in mystery for now, but it will be exciting to see what shape it takes whenever the reveal happens.
Forza Horizon 5 launches November 9 for PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
