Forza Horizon 5 Premium Users Can Play the Game Early

Forza Horizon 5 will be released November 9, but Premium Edition buyers can unlock the game early, starting at midnight local time tomorrow, November 5. So it’s time to preload the game on Xbox or Windows.

“Forza fans, are you ready to explore the largest, most diverse open world ever in a Forza Horizon game?” Microsoft’s Mike Brown asks rhetorically. “Starting tomorrow, November 5, jump into Forza Horizon 5’s early access where you discover living deserts, lush jungles, historic cities, hidden ruins, pristine beaches, vast canyons, and a towering snow-capped volcano, all while you lead breathtaking expeditions across Mexico’s gorgeous, ever-evolving landscape.”
