Additionally, the PS5 build allows gamers to purchase all of the same car packs, including the Hot Wheels and Rally Adventure expansions. There\u2019s a new and free content update for PS5, Xbox and PC players called <a data-i13n=\"cpos:3;pos:1\" href=\"https:\/\/forza.net\/news\/forza-horizon-5-horizon-realms\">Horizon Realms<\/a> that features a set of in-game achievements based on the game\u2019s dynamic and evolving world, which arrives on April 25.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"end-legacy-contents\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>Horizon 5<\/em> comes to PS5 in three flavors. The base game costs $60; the Deluxe Edition, which comes with the game&#8217;s car pass, costs $80; and the Premium Edition, which comes with all of the game&#8217;s DLC, costs $100. If you pre-order the Premium Edition you also get early access to the game on April 25, though does it count as early access when the game&#8217;s been out for over four years on Xbox and PC? That&#8217;s for you and your wallet to decide.

Regular PS5 consoles will have access to a 60 fps performance mode and a 30 fps quality mode. PS5 Pro owners will have the same options, but with &#8220;increased fidelity&#8221; in the performance mode and ray-traced car reflections in races and free roam. There is no word currently on resolution targets for either console, or how they shape up versus Xbox Series X\/S.<\/p>\n<p>For the uninitiated, <em>Forza Horizon 5<\/em> is a fantastic open-world racing game that we absolutely loved upon <a data-i13n=\"cpos:5;pos:1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/forza-horizon-5-gaming-irl-racing-154527277.html\">its initial release in 2021<\/a>.
