Microsoft has today announced a PS5 version of its premiere racing game Forza Horizon 5 will release later this year in the Spring. It'll be the most up-to-date version of the base game, with its DLC packs available to buy separately. The port is being done by Panic Button, in collaboration with main developer Playground Games. While no new trailer has been published to coincide with the announcement, you can catch some older footage above.
On the Forza.net website, Playground Games said: "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." Cross-play will be enabled across PS5, Xbox, and PC, and a new content update named Horizon Realms will also come to the PS5 version.

"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," the blog post reveals.
That's now another previously Xbox, PC exclusive game Microsoft has confirmed it's bringing to other platforms. It started with Hi-Fi Rush, Grounded, Sea of Thieves, and Pentiment, and in the year since, has announced DOOM: The Dark Ages and The Outer Worlds 2 will launch on Sony's system day one. With today's confirmation of Forza Horizon 5 making the jump too, it's clear Microsoft is still open to exploring its back catalogue as it ports more of its games to other consoles.
The likes of Halo: The Master Chief Collection, Gears of War: Ultimate Edition, and Microsoft Flight Simulator have also been rumoured to be getting PS5 ports in the coming 12 months. Will you be playing Forza Horizon 5 on PS5? Let us know in the comments below.

PS5 Pro enhanced anyone???
If you like racing games, get this one. It’s the only racing game on tier with GT7 (and Mario Kart).
Forza Horizon 4 was better but this is still a great arcade racing game, one which me and my boy spent hours playing together
This is awesome! And it’s also official - this is the real start of Xbox games coming to PlayStation. I know we have had Hi-Fi Rush, Pentiment, and Grounded, but having Forza in PlayStation is the beginning of Xbox becoming a genuine publisher. It’s not a surprise, either. I truly can’t wait to play Gears and Halo on PlayStation.
Already at almost 800 hours but I will most definitely buy this on Playstation! Looking forward to a fun platinum! Wonder how the release schedule will be for 6
Such a great game. So many hours spent on Xbox. May have to buy again….
Added to wishlist. Be nice if they went the GT route and offered VR support!
Forza on ps5??
Microsoft is better become 3rd party developer and discontinue their Xbox like SEGA discontinued their Dreamcast.
When Microsoft keep giving their 1st party IP to other consoles, people's will be happy to buy the other console version and will not consider to buy XBOX machine.
The cover of PS5 version look way much better than the XBOX version.

Probably gonna give it a miss.
@somnambulance I don't think you can compare Horizon with GT. Horizon is more arcade and open world.
You could compare Motorsport with GT though
No nothing is redlined.
Halo, Gears etc etc.
Will only buy if psvr2 compatible. I have GT7 already.
Great to hear. Hopefully it'll do well. I'm more interested in 4 (being set around the UK), so maybe that'll get a port one day.
There’s the first big tentpole game.
I prefer GT or motorsport over this one tbh.
@somnambulance different sort of racing and experience to GT7. The is more Crew Motorfest than GT7.
Personally a bit bored with open world racing games but if you are not this is worth playing.
Too many people are confusing Forza Horizon with Forza Motorsport. This series, Horizon, is an arcade racer like The Crew series.
One main Xbox franchise down, two more to go. Of the three, Forza is definitely the least impactful, but I do think Halo and Gears will come, too.
Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is the one I've been waiting for, it's the only thing I miss about previously owning an Xbox Series X
I wonder if it will get haptic feedback support
Forza Horizon is the best racing game outside of Mario Kart. I also highly recommend anyone who hasn’t, to pick up 4 Ultimate Edition on CDKeys since you won’t be getting that one on Playstation.
Crazy times. All those years of toxicity and trashing Xbox games is ending.
@GrimWillows the licenses have run out so I highly doubt that will get ported (you never know).
No PS4 version?
This is THE best gaming news I’ve heard for so long
This will sell really well on PlayStation since there's pretty much no game like it on the platform. The Crew MotorFest tried but it didn't reach the quality that the Forza Horizon games have.
I have FH4 and 5 for steam and they're amazing games, very fun, and this is coming from someone who doesn't really vibe with racing games.
I don't think this is for me but it'll probably do very well on PS5. I expect lots of players being interested.
Waiting for Stalker announcement patiently. Only current Xbox game I want.
@Voltan yeah especially since Sony doesn't have a competitor to the Forza Horizon series
I'll be buying this game it's brilliant as long at it's not 60 or 70 for a game 4 years old not paying that
@Heino - That one was rumored to have a 3 month exclusivity deal with Microsoft, but hard to know if it will be announced around that time frime since it's a small team and it might take a while to develop the PS5 version.
Exciting! Always wanted to play this. Will definitely be picking it up.
I have FH2, 3, 4 and 5 on XSX, this is my favourite MS franchise, and I'll 100% be double dipping for this on PS5
If you're remotely interested and haven't played it, you're really in for a treat. Uber polished game.
Oh man this is cool. Shame it’s not 4 too, I absolutely love that game’s take on the UK and wish they’d kept it alive.
And so it begins.one of Microsoft big exclusive is coming to ps5.wow.yeah sony is cooking Microsoft.word up son
Awesome news! If only one Xbox game could make its way to PS5, this is the one I wanted. I bought a Series X for Forza Horizon 5 alone, and after putting well over 100 hours into the base game and DLC – and just as the ‘no more exclusives’ thing happened – I sold my Xbox. I’ve missed the game ever since, so I’ll definitely be picking it up at release and I’m looking forward to doing it all over again.
I'll be definitely be picking up horizon 5 when it launches alongside with Indiana Jones! Halo and gears for ps5 are now a high possibility, let's go!!
Yay! I like Forza Horizon a lot, played some hours on Xbox but I'm sure I will at least attempt the plat on PS5
I'm glad I got an Xbox this gen , but I won't be buying another one next time.
RIP
Double dipping for sure as its a fantastic game and easily my favourite Xbox game.
That's it now one of the big 3 is now on PS5, this is huge this is like Mario Kart getting a PS5 release.
With Forza coming they all will. MS is going to make a fortune doing this. Ive never been more motivated to support something gaming related than this. I always liked Xbox games, but always preferred Playstation. Never in my life did I think I'd have my cake and eat it too.
@somnambulance Its not a competition for GT because they're two very different styles of racing games. GT7 is a sim while Horizon 5 is an open world arcade style game, its no more a threat to GT7 then The Crew Motorspot is.
Welp end of an era. The only true MS series I want and would buy is Halo so ill wait patiently for those. Well maybe the Gears games too, I've never played one but hear good things
Nice. The horizon games have been some of the best race series over the years. Shame it's not 4 as that's my favourite but still...
I know Forza Horizon coming to PS5 is a big deal, but the game is over 3 years old, so it’s not like it’s new. MS might be thinking if they release FH5 on PS5 then maybe people will buy an Xbox for 6, or pick it up on PC.
I’m not saying it isn’t a good thing, it is, but I’d like to hear about FH6 this year or next before deciding MS is going full 3rd party hardware agnostic.
Pretty great game. I preferred FH4 but only because they are so similar. Enjoy
Yeeeeeees! Ive been waiting for this one for so long! There goes the last(and only) reason to own xbox for me! Cant wait! Defo day one buy for me.
It feels wierd seing Forza confirmed for Playstation. Even if we knew it was happening it wasnt really 100 percent in my mind but now that it is real its hard to grasp….
It’s definitely for me one franchise PS could do with. AAA open world arcade racer.
That Microsoft worked that out and know what they are doing.
@DennisReynolds @RiverGenie Adjusted my original post. It’s the only racing game on tier with GT7, in my opinion (outside Mario Kart). Different subgenres, sure, but it’s good to see PS have two of the best now.
First Pillar game is here. Wonder if the date and anything else could be at the rumored feb state of play
I own Forza Horizon 3 and all it's DLC, Forza Horizon 4 and all it's DLC and Forza Horizon 5 with all it's DLC. Brilliant games and lots to do definitely will pick up FH5 on PlayStation. If you like The Crew Motorfest you'll like Forza Horizon more, Motorfest is the closest to Forza Horizon.
Hope it has pro support.
Looking forward to this and Indy!
Sign me up, baby!
Damn this must be painful for the Xbox faithful
@Mikey856 Nope. I can still play it on Xbox and now you get to experience it as well. That's a good thing.
Pro Enhancements (hopefully) + DualSense features + freeing up over 100GB on my Series X = Win
@redd214 ...yeah its a special game ! That Platinum will take some getting
This was one of my biggest gaming regrets in a long time. I bought a Series X just to play it. To wit;
Removed - trolling/baiting
Microsoft about to live up to it's name and make lots of $$ with this one. A smart move for a game almost 4 years old that has no real competition on PlayStation
People are forgetting this is about revenue. The Xbox release generates revenue and so will the PlayStation release.
We could see Microsoft published games generating more revenue than Sony published games on Sony hardware eventually.
Was this as fun as Horizon 4? I had a blast with that game.
@redd214 they mentioned cross play, did they say your current xbox account info will carry over if you play on PS?
Really cool game.
I'm not a racing guy but this one is fun regardless and very forgiving with its rewind feature.
Do yourself a favour and give it a whirl if you like mucking about in cars!
Happy to double dip, fantastic game and can’t wait to play on PS. I feel like after this Starfield can’t be far behind…
I'm deffo going to purchase this on my ps5 😁
@Anti-Matter they already said they are still going to keep making xbox consoles
@Chidoro hasn't been said 100% either way yet unfortunately. Part of me would love to have all my cars from the start but the journey to collect em is part of the fun too! Guess we'll have to wait on that tidbit
@KingPev yeah I've gotten 100% of the achievements already but would love to do it all again!
@anoyonmus If you're a racing game officianado, then yes, GT7 and Horizon are obviously very different. But to a casual person who just wants a car game, and doesn't particularly care about the specifics, this is definitely going to be a bit of competition for GT7. It has hundreds of real cars, you can drive and race them. Just like GT7. That's all that some people look for.
I hope it does give PD a kick up the rear, about time they had some form of direct competition on PS5 to push them to at least try.
Forza 4.was my first foray on steam deck. Its a great arcade racer. This may be a good sideline too
@OldGamer999 if they do give it pro enhanced (though I'm not banking on it) then I'll definitely grab a copy even though I have it on series X....I'd be interested to see what a pro enhanced version would give.... hopefully 60fps on the quality mode
@OldGamer999 Hang Fire on the Pro save up for PS6 come out in 2027/2028
I'll wait for a 50% off sale, but I'm glad to see more ports. AOe2&4 now plz!
@twitchtvpat
Yes they said about making an Xbox next generation console.
But they have not really said what form it is taking it what worries me.
It could be a full power under the TV home console.
It could be only a handheld.
It could be a weaker switch hybrid.
It could be under the tv streaming box or console that needs cloud to get the best from it.
That is the worry behind the maybe Xbox next generation console, they are being very candid about it as well.
@Djsparkz1993
Yes I’m hoping for Pro 4K 60fps version.
Shall wait and see the results before double dipping maybe.
@RZ-Atom tbh I already experienced it and unpopular opinion incoming I actually preferred Motorfest 🤷♂️
@NeilPsn85
To late have the Pro and staring to enjoy it more now. It’s only a bit of money 🤣
@OldGamer999 thought you sold yours a while back? as you said it was a waste if money.
@Anti-Matter well, let people have their fun
@Mikey856 well people who is taking this too seriously
and it’s the type of game is microsoft would see will be a good fit
I just want gears and that'll do , so it seems it's not a question anymore of which games ms is bringing to ps , but a question of when they are.
I'm not into racing games really but I loved Forza horizon 2 when I had an Xbox one. It played like a dream ran and looked great and wax just fun.
May have to get this one down the line
@Mikey856 There's absolutely nothing wrong with enjoying one game over another.
i think people take exclusivity too seriously
@Mikey856 not many people care too much about it
@playstation1995 so why is xbox is getting more money out of the deal, it’s just satisfying your console war feitsh
I might have to double dip on this if the haptics are used well and performance is good on the pro.
My preference is FH4, but 5 is also a cracking game...
@Anti-Matter times are a bit different now compared to when Sega stopped consoles. Likely MS will keep Xbox because of Gamepass or until Gamepass is no more.
Welcome to the irreversible death of Xbox and rise of Microsoft Gaming.
I was just listening to a few albums, i came back here and all of a sudden everythings changed 😳
Obviously we all saw this coming, and MS had already published a few games on PS. But somehow this truly heralds MS in to the realm of full third party publishers. Historic moment, albeit a bit lacklustre
@donv2135 come on lol imagine if GT was going the other way 😂😂
Sweet mother of Jesus on a pogostick. Can we get a new Midtown madness and a day one release on ps5 please.
I wish they’d bring 3 back, it’s my favorite.
Anyways, call me when MS ports over AoE2 Definitive Edition.
NGL as a PS only gamer this is pretty awesome news. With Sony somewhat dropping the ball on ps5 exclusives recently its been great to have some cool Xbox stuff to look forward to. I love the Sony IPs and hope for a resurgent late gen ps5, but with all this xbox stuff it hasnt been so bad. Really hard to see though how this is benefitting xbox other than through game sales as I think its clear without a doubt at this point that PS is the best place to play.
Best racing game I've played
Great news. One of the best racers out there, FH4 is better but this is a close second. Enjoy!
I feel like I'm getting closer to having Killer Instinct on PS5 which is my most requested Xbox game! who ever said Xbox had no games didn't know anything 🤷🏼♀️ there's big piles of fantastic OG Xbox, 360, Xbone and Series X games that should be experienced!
Man oh man, I’ve been waiting for this! So excited!!!!
This will be fantastic for quick races on my portal!
🤔 I’ll wait for it in PS+ 😉
Welp, this is the other Xbox game (with Hi fi rush) I had some interest in - I like arcade racers - might give it a try if you guys say it’s good. I grew up with Sega Rally, Daytona and Ridge Racer
They're finished!
I much preferred 4 than 5, but yeah, so PS5 Pro is gonna be the best console experience for Forza.
Strange times we live in.
Removed - flaming/arguing
Removed - flaming/arguing
Can we just not worry about console wars and have fun, you guys probably brag more than you play games
Does the game require PS+ or does it have a single player element/modes?
@WiiWareWave It should support offline play
Common Xbox W....... wait what?
I just hope it doesnt make sony overconfident and too greedy/stagnating. PS5 sells well now, but in future they might have the same fate as Xbox, they dont see PC as competition but they should and one much more stronger than Xbox.
I'll be curious to see how well it sells. GT7 is maybe the best GT game of all. Although Spec and 4 were phenomenal for their time.
The thing that people thought would save xbox has ended up killing it. That 68 billion has turned the Xbox from that little thing on the side, to the people in charge of Microsoft actually taking notice. Horizon was the only game I’ve ever been gutted I couldn’t play. Thanks nadella!
@Anti-Matter They have one more generation with new hardware, after that they will 100% leave the hardware space.
@WiiWareWave Signed in just to say that. Would love to play it on my PS5, but I'm not giving Sony the money for ps+. Wil.stick to playing it on my laptop or SteamDeck.
@lacerz i hadn't even THOUGHT of VR....
drooool
sad & great news at the same time .
@lazarus11
Getting on ok with it now and enjoying it more.
Still not super impressed but everything looks a bit sharper and super clear on the TV, so it does improve things.
You can see there is getting to a point of diminishing returns as each console generation comes and goes.
Anyway after today FH5 news there is no point resisting the PS5 Pro lure really 🤣
@Nei I grew up with those three as well - this game isn't fit to lick their shoes.
Racing no give me jollies.
Avowed please.
@OldGamer999 there's literally no point in my series x now I've got the pro, before I use to watch various videos to see which machine offered the best experience ps5 or series x , now it's pretty much always gonna be the pro, and with all of xbox games coming to ps and will look and play better , what is the actual point of an xbox, i suppose gamepass is ok if your a kid, or no job and have more time but no money, the xbox is dead in the water, they're not buying it now , they certainly won't buy the next iteration , in fact the only sales I see ,are the staff of pure xbox and the 4 people that regularly comment , but I'm convinced they are the same person and just talking to, and agreeing with themselves 🤣
@Heino I dunno PC’s have been around longer than consoles and they are still nowhere near the yearly revenue
Anyone else find it funny that this is being developed by Panic Button or is it just me?
Can't wait to Play
@Nyne11Tyme @knowles2 omg yes 👏 lol and I’m hearing that all day my friend GT7 is nothing short of amazing
@donv2135 it will sell more ps consoles , forza, gears , halo all on ps5 is the final nail in the coffin for the traditional xbox console ,and to top it off Sony make 30 percent on every ms game sold on ps , that's gonna really sting some people , they will release one more piece of dedicated xbox hardware and that's your lot , all out publisher from then on and maybe some sort of xbox firestick, they had a good run , but its over now
@knowles2 how ironic 🤣🤣
@lazarus11
It’s a shame really as Xbox hardware being better and healthy would be good for competition even for nothing else, but it is what it is.
And it looks like a future with PS and Nintendo hardware from now on.
On the PS front just hope they have learnt the GAAS lesson now and can move on producing more big AAA campaign games, of which I’m a massive fan of.
Then of course let’s see what the switch 2 brings, but being honest I’m just not as excited about Switch 2 as I was for the original Switch.
Maybe I’m growing out of Switch, but they do rinse and repeat a lot with their AAA games sometimes and we know for sure Switch 2 will be bolted with a load of old third party PS4 games which I’ve already played and performed better on PS4 than will on Switch 2.
@Mikey856
PC gaming has seen accelerated progress over the past few years, especially after 2021. There are reports stating that PC gaming already brings higher revenue figures than consoles and the trend will only increase in my opinion.
@tangyzesty pretty much guaranteed you will get avowed
Fantastic news for PlayStation games it's a fantastic game!
@Judal27 and the beginning of a new era
Rumour is the next Forza horizon is in Japan
Superb racing game. But definitely have that mute button ready for when the characters speak. They’re all 100% annoying 😊.
If my progress can carry over, I will. I have 1,080,800 in accolade points, an
~20k as hall of fame rank, and nearly 325 hours driven. Not doing any of that again.
@Mikey856 they must be crying and punching the air right now
I only played it because it was part of Game Pass, but I did highly enjoy Forza Horizon 4 when I did play it for a while. It's not a genre I play much anymore as I only have so much time to play games, but I will consider getting FH5 at some point. This is my only option now since I gave my Series X to my brother for Christmas.
It's still highly likely they will release another console next generation, but I think this is pretty smart at this point for Microsoft. Some of their other PS5 ports have sold quite well it seems, so it's only natural for more to keep coming whether some of their fans agree with the decisions or not.
Forza has been more successful than GT since GT3 … although GT is more sim and forza has gone for a semi sim arcade mode , hopefully means Sony will finally bring GT up to scratch … or better yet - Sony buys the rights from EA to bring burnout back from the dead and give us a real arcade racer .
Great news, preferred 4 but 5 will do nicely 😄
The volume will be turned right down on this one as it is so cringe
Removed - trolling/baiting
130 hours on steam deck and must have similar on xbox… I’d be tempted to get again. Superb game
OK, this is cool. Forza Horizon has always looked fun.
Finally! This will sell by the bucket load on PS5!
@Mikey856 nope. Excited. Maybe now ps players will stop trashing xbox games. Just wait until yall play halo.
Hopefully, Once these make a fton of money for MS, Sony may start doing the same thing
@somnambulance That’s definitely not a statement you can make this easily. FH5 and GT7 are completely different games. For me, I already spend more than 100 hours with GT7 since I love sim racers, while I was bored with FH7 after one day. You’re not only comparing completely different games, but different genres (sim vs arcade racers) altogether.
Wouldve preferred Forza horizon 4 or 3 because 5 is so empty and boring. And selling the DLC separately? Ugh smh for a game that's probably gonna be discounted in a year or 2 it should've had the DLC included
Great game, have really enjoyed all the Horizon games. Though 2 and 4 are my personal faves. Booted up the first one a couple of months ago, just for old times. The game looks great on the series X, so should look stunning on the Pro. MS have heard the complaints about Sony not releasing enough exclusives on PS5 so MS have decided to share their exclusives.
(Cartman voice): “Microsoft forfeits……… SONY WINS!! Console wars are over everyone. Sony won again!!!!” 😉
@mikey856 don't even get me started on ms flight simulator (2020 until 2024 bugs are ironed out) with a HOTAS.... yall don’t know, yet, ::Mr_Burns_Excellent_GIF::
It's pretty apt that it's being ported by Panic Button! Only Microsoft could not see the irony in that... 🤣
@twitchtvpat they can make them, but who's going to buy them if you get all exclusives on Ps and only some on Xbox. This move essentially says "don't buy our console, go buy a playstation"
Ill play but.... i want my cross save from xbox to ps5! I dont wanna play everything again! I have tons of cars, money etc pffff
I cant even say how much i have on xbox.
Forza, Gears and Halo are Xbox's biggest homegrown IPs, Forza's crossed the line so how long before the remaining two do?
@Darude84 I don't think he's comparing them directly. Like Mario Kart is also mentioned. Think they mean in terms of what each game offers. GT7 is the best sim racer and Horizon is the best arcade racer. They're both on different levels to other games that compare to them. Forza Motorsport was really bad when it launched, but is a lot better now. The main issue I have with it now is it's single player is live service! The single player career is not a proper career of races that are always available. It's just some races that are available for a month and then gone. It's handy though to use for the MS reward points for playing a game for 15 minutes.
@AdamNovice They'll all be over on PS soon, especially if Horizon does well. Only thing is if they wait to the next installment of each to release on PS or do additional work and release the older games before the next installment. Think Starfield will release on PS this year as well.
The DLC not being included feels pretty crappy tbh, especially since I suspect they'll charge full standard price for the base game (I hope I'm wrong). This game isn't "new" either. New to PS sure, but not in general. But whatever. I think I'll definitely check this out when it comes over, but if it's $59.99 or more I might wait.
@Jrs1 the only issue is 4 was pulled from the xbox store and is no longer purchasable , i'm sure you can still find discs though but no new ones will be created.
@Darude84 As a casual for both sub genres, I think they’re both roughly 9/10 tier experiences, both best in class for their respective styles of play. I prefer Gran Turismo too, but I think they’re both excellent and FH’s a great purchase for a curious gamer that may also like GT7.
The only reason to own a Xbox so I guess I don't need to anymore, I do wonder if there'll be a PlayStation 4 version though as it was originally on Xbox One
@Insanelollipop GT7 is probably the best game in the series and it eats the most recent FM for breakfast.
Not sure what they're supposed to "bring up to scratch", exactly.
@UltimateOtaku91 It's a masterclass in spin so far!
It’s weirdly serendipitous how Xbox are now going to release more and more games on PlayStation, right when Sony needs them the most, in the upcoming drought caused by so many live service cancellations.
That's cool but it's not the arcade racer im looking for so🤷🏽♂️
@HamKnight There really has been no drought haha. I know people keep willing this into existence, but they released Game of the Year like three or four months ago.
Let’s see what 2025 brings.
This is one of my favorite games of the past 5 years or so. To any PS5 owners who don’t have a PC or XBOX, this is a must-play imo.
@get2sammyb i don't get it either , i barely have time to play the games i own as it is.
@get2sammyb No, I’m talking about the coming drought caused by so many cancellations. There are going to be sizeable gaps in the release schedule where all these axed live services should have been. That’s just logistics.
I found it a kinda boring racing game with great graphics.
@weeniebeenie true
Probably the only Xbox series I would buy and replay again on PS5. Such a great game. Shame PlayStation only players will never experience 1, 2, 3 and 4. The best for me was 3. 4 and 5 are still top class games though.
Looking forward to it.
@donv2135 Who is u?
@HamKnight Yes, but you're projecting that those droughts are going to occur. We know Death Stranding 2, Ghost of Yotei, and potentially Marvel's Wolverine are launching this year. Sounds like a strong lineup to me.
Let's wait for the droughts to actually occur before we start worrying about it.
@MonsterMike i'm sure some of those games will always be on xbox first , and of course you have game pass as well. but at the same time you are right , if some one still wants an xbox though or both consoles they'll still get those consoles.
@twitchtvpat I'm saying this as a staunch Xbox guy who hasn't owned a playstation since the og ps1. I'm going Ps next Gen, there's no reason to continue to support Xbox even though I prefer the interface and controller. I'm just losing out on games if all Xbox exclusives are gonna come to Ps with no reciprocal agreement. I backed the wrong horse and it's unfortunate, but true.
@GrimWillows FH4 has been delisted on Xbox so that one is very unlikely to make it to PS5 (it it’s my favourite one too)
@donv2135
You basically turning on the lights and turning off the music at the celebratory winner's ball. How do you think that'll play out? Let people react.
So i guess this means Xbox brand is pretty much dead and MS finally became a 3rd party publisher just like Sega huh.
I personally don't care about Forza series but i wish Sony revive their other racing games like Jet Moto or Turbo Prop Racing. I really enjoyed them on PS1 and would love to play it again with updated graphics.
One of the very few games on Xbox I was always jealous wasn't on PlayStation!
It's kind of ironic how Sony has totally fumbled their 1st party development this gen, and it's Microsoft whose games will end up saving them. Halo and Gears will be HUGE.
If I liked The Crew motorfest will I also like this too?
IS the art design or this game just really bland and uninteresting? Very washed out lighting too, looks like a modern Ubisoft game
@0niguy Simple answer - yes. It's become a little bloated but it's great racing and if you enjoyed Motorfest (which I did a lot), then you will enjoy this too.
My personal preference is Forza Horizon 4 - recently delisted but I own it on Steam and Series X. I'd buy it on PS too in a heartbeat, but we will never see it now.
But FH5 is excellent in its own right and well worth playing if you enjoy a good arcade racer / carpg.
@SeanOhOgain I think you need to adjust your monitor or screen mate? This is universally acclaimed to be the best looking game of its type by just about any pundit you could ask, including Digital Foundry. You are of course welcome to disagree, but you would be in a very small minority.
@HamKnight Sony, throughout all their generations, have relied on partnerships with other publishers to provide exclusive content. It really doesn't matter what the logo says on boot up, if its only on playstation its a playstation game.
Games like Steller Blade, Final Fantasy remake, Helldivers 2, Ronin, Silent Hill 2 and Astrobot ensured we had a fantastic year last year, and we are already aware of great titles exclusively coming to the machine this year. I think your assertions of some kind of 'drought' are not going to be the reality.
Mind you, my pint is always half full, not half empty, so you may despair unnecessarily if that's your thing! I don't think you have much to worry about on this front 👍
@Titntin Fair point, I'm not reffering to the graphics quality or how well it runs, but the actual art design. It's a generic realism with no personality. A lot of tech allows us to make high quality assets and worlds but sadly there's not much actual artistic thought put into them beyond realism. A really scourge in game development at the minute I think
Looking forward to this. For the short time I had a series X this and forza4 were the games I seemed to play more than any others, except maybe Ori. If it looks good, or better on the ps5 pro I will be happy as it’s visually a very pretty game too.
@SeanOhOgain Ah - I get you, and agree that chasing ultra real or some version of it is not inspired art. I spent 20 years in the industry trying to push a more artistic vision for game worlds, but people fall back to the Status Quo
There is a usually a backlash when you go for another vision, like the painterly vision in Veilguard which was much lambasted but I really liked. Only full on cartoon shaders seem to be accepted by most.
To be fair to the Artists on this title, they are following a series of 4 very successful titles which all share this type of look, so I doubt they would have gotten much milage out of trying something different....
Have a great day mate! 😊
@lacerz If the PC version didn't have VR, then why should PlayStation?
@0niguy They're pretty much the same thing.
@get2sammyb I didn’t “project” that Sony have cancelled A God of War live service, a Bend Studio live service, a Spider-Man live service, Factions 2, a Twisted Metal live service, supposedly a Horizon live service and multiple Bungie projects. Those are all real things that happened. Logic would dictate that this is going to cause a drought in the upcoming pipeline at some point. And I never said there “has been” a drought, which your original reply mistakenly argued against. I said “upcoming”, meaning “will occur in the future”. And I also never said I was worried about it, either, simply that it is serendipitous timing of Xbox to be releasing more of their games on PS.
@Titntin Okay, but I’m not “despairing unnecessarily”. I’m simply pointing out logistical facts that come from so many cancellations. Maybe it will all get plugged and that’s great, but Sony have cancelled a ton of projects lately, and that’s going to have some kind of impact on the upcoming schedule. I’m not worried about it because, if you read my original post, I said it’s serendipitous that Xbox are going to be releasing more games for PS. I think people are reading doom and gloom into my post which was never the intent.
@HamKnight
OK mate!
I suspect most of us were not really after any of the live service games that have been cancelled, so it's no loss?
Unless Sony only planned to release live service this year (which they have stated they were not), then their plans for the games we actually want will not be affected by those cancellations at all. That's logic, surely?
@Titntin If Sony have said that, then great. I didn’t catch when they made that statement but I’m not gonna be some pedant demanding “source?!” of people.
Hopefully it all works out!
Prob obvious but as cross play can my xbox game save be used on ps5. Would be good not to start over completely
@Titntin ok man pretiate your input
Looking forward to checking this out on my PS5.
@K1LLEGAL The Xbox community here isnt that much better.
@K1LLEGAL aah, yeah, hadn't thought about that.
@GrimWillows it’s been delisted from Xbox and Steam so yea it’s unlikely. Same with 1-3 and the Fast and Furious one.
@Frutersi I can’t see Sony porting games to a dying platform though
@Heino it’s nowhere near bro
