According to the official FH5 FAQ:
“Please check with your local retailers on pre-order availability for the Forza Horizon 5 Standard Disk Edition. There are no pre-order incentives for Forza Horizon 5.”
Following are links to common retailers; these links may change during or after the preorder period.
Oh good, with crossplay between XB1 and XBS/PC confirmed I think that means the XB1 version will stay in lockstep with the Series versions feature-wise.
Also the Series S plays at 1080p/30? That’s pretty weak.
Idk… there was such an intense focus on playground games. Nothing that gets me exited. I’m here for the road races not the mini games. Also it seems like FH5 uses the same lobby system but with more players (16?). The lobby system worked so great in FH4, not. Why continue using it? I’m sick of having lobbies with 2 or 3 people.
Pretty sure I read that even though you are purchasing on Steam, its just a front end, it still goes through the normal Microsoft Starting mode. Otherwise it would be a different game essentially.
So will Forza Horizon 5 be a Play Anywhere title that can be purchased via Steam and played on Xbox Series X as well? I refuse to purchase it from the Windows Store. I won’t fall into that trap again.
Are we going to be able to preorder FH5 on Steam?
I could preorder it from the MS store but i dont like the ms store.
The FAQ says i could wishlist it.
I was sure this was a mistake, but I checked the price for FH4 on Steam. It’s also 70€ for the so called standard edition. Damn that’s expensive for a small chunk of a 4 year old game.
I think that most of us will get the ultimate edition anyway. In hopes that we actually get the complete game. I really hope they won’t exclude any car packs or expansions from the ultimate edition
This is what I am worried about. Very suspicious that its called “Premium Edition” now and not “Ultimate Edition” like every Horizon before. Makes me think that they want to monetize future add-ons and DLC differently. So get ready to open your wallets!
At this point it’s just a rip off. I have to pay almost 25 USD more just because I live in the eu? Guess I will wait until I find the game somewhere for less than 40€… oh well
According to what I can find, the average VAT in the EU is about 21%. At that rate the $84.85 is really more like $70.12 with VAT excluded. Still a premium, but that takes out more than half of the differential. And the Premium Edition at $121.22 is pretty much even money excluding the VAT.
So I cannot preorder the standard physical disk game and then buy the Premium Add-Ons Bundle once the game releases? I am also disappointed they are not doing a steel book release.
