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 the same content as its Xbox and PC counterparts. This includes all car packs and expansions, such as Hot Wheels and Rally Adventure.
This release aligns with Xbox's expanding strategy to bring its games to a wider audience, encompassing PlayStation and Nintendo Switch. Xbox head Phil Spencer has publicly confirmed support for the upcoming Switch 2.
Recent financial reports from Microsoft indicate a decrease in overall gaming revenue, particularly a near 30% drop in console sales, despite successes like Indiana Jones and the Great Circle reaching 4 million players and a 30% growth in PC Game Pass subscriptions. This shift might encourage Xbox to prioritize Game Pass and broaden its game availability across different platforms.
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]
