In a surprising twist, the beloved Xbox racing game, *Forza Horizon 5*, is set to make its debut on PlayStation. Playground Games has announced that this latest installment in the Forza Horizon series will be available on PS5 this spring, marking another Xbox exclusive transitioning to the PlayStation platform, following titles like *Sea of Thieves* and *Indiana Jones and the Great Circle*.

The PS5 version of *Forza Horizon 5* has been crafted by Panic Button, in collaboration with Turn 10 Studios and Playground Games. Players can expect the same rich content found in the Xbox and PC versions, including Car Packs, and the expansive Hot Wheels and Rally Adventure expansions.

This move reflects Xbox's increasing interest in expanding its game library to other platforms such as PlayStation and Nintendo Switch. Xbox executive Phil Spencer has confirmed plans to support the upcoming Switch 2, signaling a broader strategy shift.

During the latest investor call, Microsoft disclosed that *Indiana Jones and the Great Circle* has attracted 4 million players, and Game Pass on PC saw a 30% growth, boosting services revenue by 2%. However, overall gaming revenue declined, with console sales plummeting nearly 30%. This trend may encourage Xbox to focus more on Game Pass and extend its game offerings to other hardware.

*Forza Horizon 5* continues the thrilling open-world racing saga. Unlike its more simulation-focused counterpart, *Forza Motorsport*, *Forza Horizon 5* offers a more arcade-like experience, allowing players to race and explore the stunning landscapes of Mexico.
