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 head Phil Spencer has publicly endorsed 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 may be influencing Xbox's focus on Game Pass and broader hardware compatibility.
Forza Horizon 5 continues the acclaimed 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.
