Forza Horizon 5: Prepare for the Ultimate Racing Experience on PS5

Forza Horizon 5, Xbox's acclaimed racing title, is making its way to PlayStation!

Playground Games unexpectedly revealed that Forza Horizon 5 will be available on PS5 this spring. This marks another Xbox exclusive joining the PlayStation lineup, following titles like 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 offer the same complete experience as 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 broader platform support, encompassing PlayStation and Nintendo Switch. Xbox head Phil Spencer has publicly confirmed their commitment to supporting the upcoming Switch 2.

Recent financial reports indicate that while Indiana Jones and the Great Circle attracted 4 million players and PC Game Pass saw a 30% growth (boosting services revenue by 2%), overall gaming revenue declined due to a near 30% drop in console sales. This financial picture may be influencing Xbox's focus on Game Pass and wider game availability across different hardware platforms.

Forza Horizon 5 continues the popular open-world racing series. Slightly more arcade-style 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.
