Summary
A new rumor has suggested thatForza Horizon 5could soon be making its way to PlayStation 5. It would be a huge move forForza Horizon 5to make, considering the franchise has only ever appeared on PC and Xbox consoles over the years.
Forza Horizon 5was released back in 2021. Like most games in the series, it was a critical and commercial hit, sending gamers across the open-world environment of Mexico. It was instantly regarded as one of thebest open-world racing games ever, and developer Playground Games has continued to support it with frequent content updates in the years since. The current three-year gap between games is the longest wait for a sequel since its inception, andForza Horizon 6has yet to even be officially confirmed.
In a post online, notable leaker eXtas1stv claimed that “Forza Horizon 5 has already been ported to PS5,” and that Xbox “consider it a game that can do quite well.” As for a release date, the leaker isn’t sure at the moment, claiming, “I don’t know when, but it will arrive.” Note that right now, this is a rumor, so should be taken with a pinch of salt, but if true, it would be huge news for PlayStation gamers. TheForzaHorizongames have always been among thebest Xbox console exclusivesaround, so it would be cool to see an entirely new audience get to try them out. Right now, theGran Turismogames are usually regarded as the best racing games on PlayStation, butForza Horizonwould certainly give it a run for its money.
Forza Horizon 5 Could Land on PlayStation 5
Leaker eXtas1stv previously claimed thatForza Horizon 5was coming to PlayStation 5around the time of Gamescom back in August, although that didn’t come to pass. Their statement here claims that the “release was delayed (not canceled),” which would explain its absence at that event.
In recent years, there has been a shift towards less console exclusivity between some of the industry’s heavy hitters, Nintendo not included. Xbox and PlayStation exclusives tend to come to PC nowadays, giving players more options on where to enjoy their games. When asked about thepossibility ofHalojumping to PlayStation, Xbox boss Phil Spencer confirmed that no titles were off limits in the future. IfHalocould theoretically come to PlayStation, thenForza Horizon 5certainly could, too. This multiplatform strategy is a far cry from the console wars of the 2000s and 2010s, but is undeniably better for consumers.
