Last year, Xbox made waves following its announcement of a multiplatform strategy bringing its exclusives to other platforms including PlayStation 5. The first games that went multiplatform were Hi-Fi Rush, Pentiment, and Sea of Thieves. The next big exclusive making its way to PS5 is going to be Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. There have been leaks and rumors that Starfield and even Halo may make its way to other platforms but it will not be the next exclusive. Playground Games has announced that Forza Horizon 5 is coming to PlayStation 5 this Spring.

“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 developer said in the official press release.
The PlayStation 5 version is being developed by Panic Button in partnership with Turn 10 Studios and Playground Games and will have the same content that was released on Xbox and PC. Plus, all of the previously released car packs, as well as the Hot Wheels and Rally Adventure expansions, will also be available for purchase.
Playground Games also announced that they are working on a special new free content update that will be available on all platforms. Horizon Realms will give players the chance to explore a curated collection of some of the community’s favorite previously released Evolving Worlds alongside some other surprises.
“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,” Playground Games said.
