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

Playground Games surprisingly revealed that the latest Forza Horizon installment 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 identical content to its Xbox and PC counterparts. This includes all car packs and expansions, such as Hot Wheels and Rally Adventure.

This move aligns with Xbox's expanding strategy of bringing 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 that while Indiana Jones and the Great Circle attracted 4 million players and PC Game Pass subscriptions surged by 30% (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 broader 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 invites players to race and explore the stunning landscapes of Mexico.
