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 migrating to PlayStation, echoing 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 will boast identical content to its Xbox and PC counterparts. This includes all Car Packs and expansions like Hot Wheels and Rally Adventure.

This strategic move reflects Xbox's broader initiative to expand its game reach beyond its own consoles. Xbox CEO Phil Spencer has publicly affirmed the company's commitment to supporting the Nintendo Switch 2.

Recent financial reports shed light on this decision. While Indiana Jones and the Great Circle attracted 4 million players and PC Game Pass saw a 30% surge, boosting services revenue by 2%, overall gaming revenue declined due to a nearly 30% drop in console sales. This financial picture might be driving Xbox's focus on Game Pass and multi-platform releases.

Forza Horizon 5 continues the celebrated open-world racing series. Offering a more arcade-style experience than 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.
