Xbox's Exclusive Forza Speeds onto PS5

By LoganFeb 12,2025

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 offer the same comprehensive content as the Xbox and PC versions. This includes all car packs and expansions, such as Hot Wheels and Rally Adventure.

PlayThis strategic move reflects Xbox's expanding interest in multi-platform releases, encompassing PlayStation and Nintendo Switch. Xbox head Phil Spencer has publicly affirmed their commitment to supporting the upcoming Switch 2.

Recent financial reports from Microsoft's investor call shed light on this decision. While Indiana Jones and the Great Circle achieved 4 million players and PC Game Pass saw a 30% growth (boosting services revenue by 2%), overall gaming revenue declined due to a nearly 30% drop in console sales. This downturn may be influencing Xbox's focus on Game Pass and broader hardware compatibility.

Forza Horizon 5 continues the popular open-world racing series. Offering a more arcade-style experience compared to its simulation-focused counterpart, Forza Motorsport, Forza Horizon 5 lets players race and explore the stunning landscapes of Mexico. You can find our complete review here.
