Forza Horizon 5 is the highly anticipated sequel to the popular racing game set in the beautiful country of Mexico. Rumors have been circulating that it will be the next major Xbox first party title to go multi-platform, and many sources seem to agree that this is the case.
Since Microsoft's announcement that some of their exclusive games would be available on other platforms, there has been much speculation about which games would make the jump, when it would happen, and what the criteria would be. However, there are still no clear answers and Microsoft has not discussed it in detail since the beginning of the year.
But with Gamescom just around the corner, rumors have surfaced that a major Xbox game will be announced for PlayStation 5. While many may have guessed Starfield or Indiana Jones, it seems that the surprise announcement may actually be Forza Horizon 5.
Forza Horizon 5 has been praised as one of the best exclusives on Xbox, so its release on PlayStation 5 would certainly be a significant event. Some may wonder why it would be chosen over newer titles like Starfield or Indiana Jones, but it's possible that Microsoft only wants to bring over older games for now.
The rumor of a major multi-platform game being announced at Gamescom was first mentioned by the reputable insider shinobi602 on ResetEra, sparking much speculation. Then, extas1s, another reliable source, hinted that Forza Horizon 5 would not only be announced at Gamescom, but also released on PlayStation 5 in the next few months.
Insider Gaming also supported the idea of Forza Horizon 5 coming to PlayStation 5, but there is uncertainty about when it will be announced. However, Jez Corden of Windows Central has suggested that a major multi-platform release will be announced soon, but it may not be Forza Horizon 5.
So far, only smaller titles and live service games have been ported to PlayStation 5, but there have been no signs of Microsoft bringing high-profile exclusives like Halo, Gears of War, or Starfield to the platform. This has led to speculation that there is disagreement among Xbox executives about the matter.
If Forza Horizon 5 does make its way to PlayStation 5, it will continue to give the impression that Microsoft is only interested in bringing older games across. However, it could also be due to the fact that the game's various car and music licenses are time-sensitive, and it will eventually be delisted like its predecessor Forza Horizon 4.
Whether or not Forza Horizon 5 will be announced at Gamescom remains to be seen, but one thing is for sure – fans are eagerly anticipating its release.
