As Horizon 5 is a Microsoft exclusive and an Xbox Studio release, it will be on Game Pass from launch day. Honestly, it's worth getting Game Pass just for Horizon 5 if you don't have it already.

POWERING ON: Game Pass gives you the chance to play Forza for less

Plus, there are a lot of games included for free in Game Pass as well, with more being added weekly. This includes upcoming Microsoft exclusives as well, such as the upcoming Forza Motorsport.

The only real downside to getting Horizon 5 via Game Pass is that you don't actually own the game. So, if you decide to cancel Game Pass, you'll lose all of the games that you downloaded from it. Plus, downloading the game rather than physically owning it would mean you miss out on the bonus content that comes with it.
