Early Access allows you to play a new game ahead of time. In Forza Horizon 5, Early Access is the equivalent of getting a several-second headstart over your rivals. PS5 players finally get to enjoy the sights, sounds, and speed of Forza on PlayStation, and we’re checking if Playground Games has an incentive to invest early.
Forza Horizon 5 is coming to PlayStation 5; this marks the official debut of Forza on PS5 (and the brand in general). While you need a Microsoft account to play, it’s better than nothing! There are different editions to consider, and the room is abuzz with the usual questions.
We already know Forza Horizon 5’s PS4 status, so let’s take a look at Early Access possibilities.
Can You Play Forza Horizon 5 PS5 Early Access?
Yes, Forza Horizon 5 on PS5 is getting an Early Access option.
We’ve had to wait years to play Forza Horizon on PlayStation. If you simply can’t wait anymore, the developer has made it so you can play a few days before the worldwide launch. It’s not free, though, and does come with a certain price and condition.
How to Get Forza Horizon 5 PS5 Early Access
You need to pre-order the Forza Horizon 5 Premium Edition to start playing PS5 Early Access.
It might not shock you to learn that the Premium Edition is the most expensive. There’s the Standard Edition, Deluxe Edition, and Premium Edition. There is no physical version of Forza Horizon 5 on PS5, so if you want to play sooner than most, you need to shell out an eye-watering $99.99 / £84.99.
If this is too much, you need to wait until April 29 for the full launch. Here’s everything included in the Premium Edition if you’re interested:
- Early access
- Forza Horizon 5 Car Pass
- Forza Horizon 5 Full Game
- Forza Horizon 5: Hot Wheels
- Forza Horizon 5 Rally Adventure
- Forza Horizon 5 VIP Membership
- Forza Horizon 5 Welcome Pack
