The makers of Forza have just announced via their official blog that Microsoft will be releasing yet another of the Xbox big hitters on the PS5. This time it’s Forza Horizon 5, one of the best “chillout” racing games of all time.
The port of Forza Horizon 5 is being developed not just by💦 Turn 10 Studios, the people responsible for all the games in the series so far, but by Panic Button in partnership wit🐠h Playground games and Turn 10.
If you’re just hearing about Panic Button for the first time, rest assured, as they’re behind fantastic Switch ports of Id titles such as Doom (2016) and Doom Eternal.
Microsoft stated that all content from the Xbox version of the game will be present in the game. That includes all existing car packs available in the store, and the Hot Wheels and Rally Adventure expansions.
And that’s not all, as the Forza team is working on a new free content update for all platforms, which will be called Horizon Realms. The new update will allow players to explore a collection of some of the community’s favorite Evolving Words, and also a few surprises. The best addition, however, will likely be the chance to cross-play with everyone on Xbox, PlayStation 5, and PC.
“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.”
Phil Spencer seemingly was not bluffing when he said the exclusivity model , so we’re pretty excited to see what other once tightly-guarded Xbox exclusives will be entering the multi-platform zone.
You can wishlist Forza Horizon 5 right now on the PlayStation Store, and wait for it to release somet🐈ime during Spring.
