One of Xbox’s biggest and most successful exclusive games will drive onto PlayStation 5. Yes, Forza Horizon 5 is officially making its way to Sony’s machine this Spring.
The announcement was made on the official Forza Horizon website by developer Playground Games, although a PS5 port of the racing game has actually been rumoured to exist for a while now.
“With nearly 900 cars available in the game, over 40 thematic game updates, two expansions, and so much more content, our team is excited to announce that this spring, PlayStation 5 players will be able to explore Mexico’s beautiful roads and experience the Horizon Festival for the first time as we are officially launching Forza Horizon 5 on PS5.”

The new port is being handled by Panic Button who will work with Turn 10 Studios and Playground Games. According to the post, the game will feature exactly the same content as the Xbox and PC versions of the game, and all previously released expansions and add-on content will be available to buy.
“We are excited to see the Forza Horizon 5 community grow with new players on PS5, and we can’t wait to see the creativity and skill these new creators, builders, and racers will bring to our vibrant community.” said Playground Games.
Crossplay will be enabled, too, so PlayStation gamers will be able to play with people on Xbox and PC.
Forza Horizon 5 is yet another big step toward Microsoft becoming the biggest publisher of games on the planet, a title it actually captured a few weeks ago when it overtook EA in terms of revenue. It will join the likes of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and DOOM: The Dark Ages which will both come to PS5 this year.
It won’t be long now until we see Master Chief and Marcus Fenix on a PlayStation. Won’t that be a crazy day?
