Forza Horizon 5 is coming on PS5 because Xbox Game Studios continues to gradually move to the publisher of other companies.
This is a great news for PlayStation, because if we are sincere, we’ve been green with jealousy Open World Racer Microsoft for some time.
Sony built his brand at the Great Arcade Racers, from the impeccable Ridge Racer Type 4 to the underestimated DriveClub. But the market was not nice to this species, and PS5 never really filled the gap.
Now we have to mention crews 2 and its highest successor, The Crew Motorfest, because the Ivory Tower developer apparently flew the dexterity racing flag alone in the last few years. They are of course Good Games – but there are not forza Horizon 5.
Which leads us to the point: developed racing playgrounds drifts to the Sony system on April 29, with full PS5 Pro and Dualsense compatibility. It should be a moment of celebration, but there is a hook …
Many people had a problem with the price model. In the case of a regular vanilla game, you look at 59.99 USD/54.99 £, if you want to go to the car, you need to spend 79.99 USD/69.99 GBP for the Deluxe edition.
But what really accepts figurative cookies is the premium edition, which costs an amazing USD 99.99/84.99 £. It covers up to four days of “early access”, by road corrected the release date for the title, which was launched in 2021.
To be fair to Microsoft, the game costs exactly the same in the Xbox store, so it is not a coincidence that the company is trying to say goodbye to PS5 owners.
But usually, when the edition is transferred behind schedule to the system, the publisher admits that by dropping the price or throwing some additions. If the entire premium edition content was taken into account for $ 59.99/54.99 £, we did not raise their eyebrows. Unfortunately, this is not the case.
It gives us a miniature look at the Xbox vision: don’t expect any discounts when behind schedule ports Halo: The Master Chief CollectionIN Gears of WarAND Saga Senua: Hellblade 2 come.
We will say that the company is not afraid to introduce the software after sales after starting: Sea of Thieves enjoyed really great PS store Offers since the release, like Hi-Fi Rush and strengthened. This means that if you are patient, you will probably finally catch the opportunity.
The reality is that Forza Horizon 5 will sell well on PS5 – this is a kind of game for which the PlayStation fans base has gagged. Microsoft is probably aware of this and is properly valued. Fair enough.
But without the planned physical version and without immediate special offers for drawing with PS5 players, we cannot shake the impression that this premiere could be even greater. At the moment he will certainly do it great – but it could do it amazingly with a few corrections to the publisher’s strategy.
Do you think forza Horizon 5 is too steep for the aging port? Are you just glad that you finally see the PS5 release? Will you buy the first day of the game or wait for the offer? Discuss in the comments section below.
