Is Forza Horizon 5 Premium Edition Worth it

Is the Forza Horizon 5 Premium Edition worth it?

Instead of the typical Ultimate Edition, there’ll be a Forza Horizon 5 Premium Edition. Along with the new name comes a tough choice for fans of the series since the base game is available on Xbox Game Pass on launch day. Since Game Pass is only $9.99 for PC or console (or $14.99 for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, which gives players both), $99.99 is a hard sell for Forza Horizon 5 Premium Edition. However, it might be worth it to some people, and we’ll discuss the merits of buying it below.

Is it worth it to buy the Forza Horizon 5 Premium Edition?

It’s worth it to buy the Forza Horizon 5 Premium Edition for those who plan to play the game over the long term. It comes with:

  • The base game
  • Forza Horizon 5 Car Pass
  • Forza Horizon 5 Expansion One
  • Forza Horizon 5 Expansion Two
  • Forza Horizon 5 Welcome Pack
  • Forza Horizon 5 VIP Membership

This $99 package will give players access to all future DLC cars, two future expansions, and the VIP membership, which gives these benefits:

  • Double credit earnings from races.
  • Weekly bonus Super Wheelspins,
  • Crown Flair
  • Exclusive vanity items
  • Exclusive emote
  • Exclusive car horn
  • Player house
  • Three Exclusive Forza Edition cars

However, whether the Forza Horizon 5 Premium Edition is worth it or not depends on what platform a player decides to play it on. Those on Xbox One, Xbox Series X, or PC that have Xbox Game Pass may want to purchase the Car Pass, VIP Membership, and Expansion Pass separately since the base game is included with a Game Pass membership. However, since Forza is a first-party Microsoft game, it should always remain on Game Pass, so there’s no risk with purchasing the DLC.

Unfortunately, since Game Pass doesn’t extend to Steam, the only way to get it on that platform is to buy it outright. Those who want to purchase Forza Horizon 5 on Steam will get more use out of the savings they can get by purchasing the Premium Edition.
