After years of exclusivity for Xbox and PC, the popular racing game series Forza Horizon is set to break that barrier and officially launch on PlayStation 5.
Official sources have confirmed that the latest installment, Forza Horizon 5, which delivers an incredible open-world racing experience inspired by Mexico, will be available to the PlayStation community later this year. However, the exact release date has not yet been announced.
Upon its release on PS5, the game will support Cross-Play, a feature previously available between Xbox and PC players.
Additionally, players will have access to all extra car packs, including popular expansion packs such as Hot Wheels and Rally Adventure, ensuring a complete racing experience for PlayStation fans.
New Free Update
Alongside PlayStation 5 support, Playground Games, the developer of Forza Horizon 5, has announced a new free update called Horizon Realms. This update will introduce some exclusive content that was previously available for limited periods as part of the Evolving World rewards.
While the company has not revealed additional details about the update, it is expected to bring more challenges and new rewards for players.
Xbox Continues Expanding Its Exclusive Games
The release of Forza Horizon 5 on PlayStation 5 is part of Microsoft's broader strategy to make some of its exclusive titles available beyond its own platform. The game has been available since November 2021, and this expansion will help boost its sales and attract a new audience of racing enthusiasts.
Forza Horizon 5 is one of several Xbox exclusives that have broken their platform restrictions. Previously, games like Sea of Thieves, Hi-Fi Rush, Pentiment, and Grounded have also made their way to other platforms.
Moreover, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, which was released exclusively on Xbox last December, is set to launch on PlayStation this spring.
This shift reflects Microsoft’s new strategy aimed at reaching a broader audience and expanding the success of its games across multiple platforms. This move paves the way for more collaboration and expansion in the future.
As the release date approaches, PlayStation 5 racing fans are eagerly anticipating the chance to dive into the world of Forza Horizon 5 and enjoy its breathtaking racing experience.
With Cross-Play support and continuous updates, the game is expected to remain one of the strongest racing titles in the coming years.
