Forza Horizon 5 to Launch on PS5

In an exciting development for racing game enthusiasts, Playground Games has announced that the highly acclaimed *Forza Horizon 5* is set to make its debut on the PlayStation 5 this spring. This marks a significant shift as another Xbox exclusive follows in the footsteps of titles like *Sea of Thieves* and *Indiana Jones and the Great Circle* in crossing over to the PlayStation platform.

The PS5 edition of *Forza Horizon 5* has been crafted by Panic Button in collaboration with Turn 10 Studios and Playground Games. Gamers can expect the same thrilling content available on Xbox and PC, including Car Packs, as well as the popular Hot Wheels and Rally Adventure expansions.

This move reflects Xbox's growing strategy to expand its game library to non-Xbox platforms, including PlayStation and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, as confirmed by Xbox's head, Phil Spencer. The decision aligns with recent financial reports from Microsoft, which noted that while *Indiana Jones and the Great Circle* attracted 4 million players and Game Pass on PC saw a 30% growth, boosting services revenue by 2%, overall gaming revenue declined with console sales dropping nearly 30%. This trend may encourage Xbox to further emphasize Game Pass and increase its presence on other gaming hardware.

*Forza Horizon 5* continues the legacy of the open-world racing series. With a slightly more arcade-style approach compared to its simulation-focused counterpart, *Forza Motorsport*, this installment invites players to race and explore the stunning landscapes of Mexico.
