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 marks another Xbox exclusive joining the PlayStation lineup, following titles like Sea of Thieves and Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.

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 aligns with Xbox's broader initiative to expand its game reach beyond its own platform, encompassing PlayStation and Nintendo Switch. Xbox head Phil Spencer has publicly affirmed their commitment to supporting the Switch 2.

Recent financial reports shed light on Microsoft's gaming performance. While Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny attracted 4 million players and PC Game Pass saw a 30% subscriber increase, boosting services revenue by 2%, overall gaming revenue declined due to a nearly 30% drop in console sales. This financial landscape might encourage Xbox to prioritize Game Pass and broaden its game availability across different hardware platforms.

Forza Horizon 5 continues the legacy of the 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.
