Forza Horizon 5 Is Coming to PS5

Forza Horizon 5, Xbox's acclaimed racing title, is making its way to PlayStation!

Playground Games surprisingly revealed that Forza Horizon 5 will be released on PS5 this spring. This follows other Xbox exclusives like Sea of Thieves and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle making the jump to PlayStation.

Developed by Panic Button in collaboration with Turn 10 Studios and Playground Games, the PS5 version will boast identical content to its Xbox and PC counterparts. This includes all car packs and expansions, such as Hot Wheels and Rally Adventure.

This strategic move reflects Xbox's growing interest in expanding its game reach beyond its own platform. Xbox CEO Phil Spencer has publicly confirmed their commitment to supporting the Nintendo Switch 2.

Recent investor reports show that while Indiana Jones and the Great Circle attracted 4 million players and PC Game Pass subscriptions rose by 30% (boosting services revenue by 2%), overall gaming revenue decreased due to a nearly 30% drop in console sales. This downturn might be prompting Xbox to prioritize Game Pass and broaden its game availability across different consoles.

Forza Horizon 5 continues the popular open-world racing series. Offering a more arcade-style experience compared to its simulation-focused sibling, Forza Motorsport, Forza Horizon 5 invites players to race and explore the stunning landscapes of Mexico. [Link to full review]
