Forza Horizon 5 Is Coming to PS5

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

Playground Games' surprise announcement confirms the arrival of Forza Horizon 5 on PS5 this spring. This follows the trend of Xbox exclusives reaching PlayStation, mirroring the releases of Sea of Thieves and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.

Developed by Panic Button in collaboration with Turn 10 Studios and Playground Games, the PS5 version boasts 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 interest in multi-platform releases, encompassing PlayStation and Nintendo Switch. Xbox CEO Phil Spencer has publicly affirmed support for the upcoming Switch 2.

Recent financial reports highlight a 30% decline in console sales, despite Indiana Jones and the Great Circle achieving 4 million players and a 2% increase in services revenue (driven by a 30% growth in PC Game Pass subscribers). This financial picture might be influencing Xbox's focus on Game Pass and broadening its game availability across different platforms.

Forza Horizon 5, the latest installment in the open-world racing series, offers a more arcade-style experience compared to its simulation-focused counterpart, Forza Motorsport. Players can explore the stunning landscapes of Mexico while engaging in thrilling races. Read our complete review [here - insert link if available].
