Developer Playground Games and publisher Microsoft have announced that Forza Horizon 5 is coming to PlayStation 5 in Spring 2025. The game will be the first in the series to receive a PlayStation port, as the series is a property of Xbox Game Studios and has been exclusively released on Microsoft systems up to now, except for the mobile spin-offs.
The First Forza on PlayStation
Forza is a traditional racing series by Microsoft development teams, with two mainline divisions. On one hand, there's the Motorsport series of simulators, which came out first; on the other, the Horizon games are closer in line to arcade racers, taking some elements of more detailed physics simulation out of the equation for a simple, streamlined experience. None of the Forza games had ever been released on other companies' consoles before.
In Forza Horizon 5, there are 900 cars and 2 fully-fledged expansions to the original content of the game, and the title had multiple updates since its launch in 2021. According to the developers' announcement note, the new release will feature the same content as the Xbox and PC versions, including car packs, the Hot Wheels and Rally Adventure expansions as purchasable DLC....
