Forza Horizon 5, Xbox's acclaimed racing title, is making its way to PlayStation!
Playground Games surprisingly revealed that Forza Horizon 5 will be available 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 growing interest in expanding its game reach beyond its own consoles. Xbox CEO Phil Spencer has publicly confirmed support for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2.
Recent financial reports show a decline in overall gaming revenue for Microsoft, with console sales plummeting by nearly 30%, despite Indiana Jones and the Great Circle achieving 4 million players and a 30% growth in PC Game Pass subscribers. This financial picture might be driving Xbox's focus on Game Pass and broader platform availability.
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]
