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 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 voiced support for the Nintendo Switch 2, further emphasizing this cross-platform strategy.
Recent financial reports indicate a decline in overall gaming revenue, particularly a near 30% drop in console sales, despite successes like Indiana Jones and the Great Circle (4 million players) and a 30% growth in PC Game Pass subscriptions (resulting in a 2% increase in services revenue). This financial context may be driving Xbox's focus on Game Pass and wider platform availability.
Forza Horizon 5 continues the popular 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.
