Microsoft has announced that Forza Horizon 5 is crossing the console divide from Xbox Series X to PS5.
In a news release, Microsoft pegged Forza Horizon 5 for release on PS5 “this spring” but didn’t nail down a specific release date. The racing game will arrive on PS5 with all of the same content and DLC as the Xbox and PC version, and cross-play has been confirmed.
In addition, there’s a new update called Horizon Realms coming to all platforms that “will give players the chance to explore a curated collection of some of the community’s favorite previously released Evolving Worlds, alongside some other surprises.”
Released in 2021, Forza Horizon 5 brings all the thrills of racing to an open-world format based in Mexico and adds new modes such as hide-and-seek. We were pretty keen on it upon release and gave it a perfect score in our Forza Horizon 5 review.
“Forza Horizon 5 is a stunning and beautifully crafted entry in the series that’s full of memorable races, creativity, and fantastic additions,” we said, also calling it “Playground Games’ most exciting and beautifully crafted entry yet.” No pressure for Fable 4 or anything like that, then.
Over the past 12 months, Microsoft has softened its stance on Xbox exclusives, with various older games like Hi-Fi Rush and Grounded jumping to consoles like the PS5, Nintendo Switch, and so on. Even newer games like Indiana Jones and the Great Circle have been released with less exclusivity in mind, though PlayStation fans are still waiting on that one.
Speaking in a recent interview, Xbox boss Phil Spencer explained that “there is no reason for me to put a ring fence around any game” when asked about Starfield’s future platform plans.
“Our strategy is to allow our games to be available,” he said “Game Pass is an important component of playing the games on our platform, but to keep games off of other platforms, that’s not a path for us. It doesn’t work for us.”
We’re still waiting for Starfield to cross the console divide, but Forza Horizon 5? No longer.
Exciting news for all racing game enthusiasts! Forza Horizon 5, the highly acclaimed Xbox game, is finally making its way to the PlayStation 5 this spring. Players can expect to experience all of the same thrilling gameplay, stunning graphics, and immersive open-world racing that has made Forza Horizon 5 a fan favorite.
What’s even more impressive is that the PS5 version of Forza Horizon 5 will also include all of the same content and DLC that Xbox players have been enjoying.
