Microsoft has offered a decent number of first-party titles this year, including those launched on other platforms like Sea of Thieves and Hi-Fi Rush. That trend continues next year with the arrival of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle in Spring, but it seems that Playground Games’ Forza Horizon 5 is already ready for PS5.
Rumors circulated about it last August but nothing came to pass. According to insider eXtas1s, the acclaimed open-world racer was allegedly ported to the console and set to release this past Summer. For reasons unknown, it was delayed, though not cancelled. They’re unaware of when it could arrive for PS5 but remain confident it’s still coming.
Microsoft allegedly considers it a title that can “do quite well,” per the insider. With 40 million players worldwide as of July 2024, regardless of how many play through Game Pass, it’s viable, but we’ll need to wait for official details.
Forza Horizon 5 is playable on Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Check out our review of the launch version.
