Forza Horizon 5 Races onto PlayStation

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 in 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 increasing openness to releasing games across various platforms, including PlayStation and Nintendo Switch. Xbox head Phil Spencer has publicly confirmed their support for the upcoming Switch 2.

Recent financial reports from Microsoft's investor call shed light on this decision. While Indiana Jones and the Great Circle achieved 4 million players and PC Game Pass saw a 30% growth (boosting services revenue by 2%), overall gaming revenue declined due to a nearly 30% drop in console sales. This downturn might be prompting Xbox to prioritize Game Pass and expand its game availability on other 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.
