Forza Horizon 5, Xbox's acclaimed racing title, is making its way to PlayStation!
Playground Games' surprising announcement confirms the arrival of Forza Horizon 5 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 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 increasing openness to multi-platform releases, encompassing PlayStation and Nintendo Switch. Xbox head Phil Spencer has publicly affirmed support for the upcoming Switch 2.
Recent financial reports shed light on Microsoft's gaming strategy. While Indiana Jones and the Great Circle achieved 4 million players and PC Game Pass saw a 30% surge, boosting services revenue by 2%, overall gaming revenue declined due to a near 30% drop in console sales. This downturn may be influencing Xbox's focus on Game Pass and broader platform availability.
Forza Horizon 5 continues the celebrated open-world racing series. Offering a more arcade-style experience compared to its simulation-focused counterpart, Forza Motorsport, Forza Horizon 5 invites players to race and explore the stunning landscapes of Mexico.
