Forza Horizon 5 Is Coming to PS5

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

Playground Games unveiled a surprising announcement: Forza Horizon 5 is coming to the PS5 this spring. This follows the trend of Xbox exclusives arriving on PlayStation, joining titles like Sea of Thieves and Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.

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 expanding ambition to broaden its game reach beyond its own consoles. Xbox head Phil Spencer has publicly confirmed support for the Nintendo Switch 2, highlighting this broader platform strategy.

Recent financial reports from Microsoft reveal a decline in overall gaming revenue, particularly a near 30% drop in console sales, despite positive growth in areas like PC Game Pass (up 30%). The success of titles like Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (4 million players) may be influencing Xbox's focus on expanding Game Pass and releasing more games across different platforms.

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. You can find our comprehensive review here.
