Forza Horizon 5, Xbox's acclaimed racing title, is making its way to PlayStation!
Playground Games unexpectedly revealed that the latest Forza Horizon installment will launch on PS5 this spring. This follows other Xbox exclusives like Sea of Thieves and Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny 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 aligns with Xbox's broader initiative to expand its game reach beyond its own consoles. Xbox head Phil Spencer has publicly affirmed their commitment to supporting the Nintendo Switch 2.
Recent financial reports highlight a 30% decline in console sales, despite Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny attracting 4 million players and a 2% increase in services revenue (driven by a 30% growth in PC Game Pass subscriptions). This financial context might be influencing Xbox's focus on Game Pass and wider platform availability.
Forza Horizon 5 continues the celebrated open-world racing series. Offering a more arcade-style experience compared to its simulation-focused sibling, Forza Motorsport, Forza Horizon 5 immerses players in the vibrant landscapes of Mexico.
