While Xbox is traditionally identified for franchises like Halo and Gears Of War, the platform’s most acclaimed exclusives lately have been smaller titles like Pentiment and the continuing Forza Horizon sequence.
Forza Horizon 5 might be the perfect unique on the Xbox Series X, however thus far there’s been no signal of it being ported to different programs, as a part of Microsoft’s multiplatform push – which has seen the likes of Sea Of Thieves, Hi-Fi Rush, and Grounded come to different consoles.
However, it seems a port of Forza Horizon 5 would possibly already be within the can. According to an insider, a PlayStation 5 model was initially speculated to launch this summer time but it surely has been delayed to an unknown date.
This hearsay comes from identified insider eXtas1s, who’s greatest identified for leaking Xbox Game Pass bulletins forward of time. ‘Forza Horizon 5 has already been ported to PlayStation 5, however its launch was delayed (not cancelled) this previous summer time,’ they wrote on X (as translated by Google).
‘However, they contemplate it a sport that may do fairly effectively, and it’ll arrive, I don’t know when, however it’s going to arrive.’
Based on Microsoft’s current technique, it is sensible that Forza Horizon 5 would finally come to PlayStation – though it’s unclear why it could have been delayed, except it was to keep away from extra damaging outcry from Xbox followers.
Indiana Jones And The Great Circle, one other Xbox sport, is ready to launch on PlayStation 5 in spring 2025, so it’s potential Forza Horizon 5 is perhaps deliberate for later subsequent yr.
A PlayStation 5 port might even be timed alongside an announcement for Forza Horizon 6. Developer Playground Games is ready to launch Fable subsequent yr, however job listings courting again to 2022 counsel the studio can be engaged on the following Forza Horizon sport.
Rumours round a sequel have began to select up too. According to ResetEra user KRT, posting in response to eXtas1s’ claims, Forza Horizon 6 is ‘far off’ however, primarily based on loading screenshots they’ve seen, it’s going to happen in a ‘sure locale individuals [have] been asking for [for] years.’
They don’t state something particular in regards to the location, however followers have speculated it could possibly be Japan. Forza Horizon 5 was set in Mexico, whereas prior entries within the sequence have taken place within the UK, Australia, France, Italy, and the US. While it’s price taking these rumours with a pinch of salt, the primary Forza Horizon set in Asia would definitely be a giant promoting level.
If the claims round a PlayStation 5 port of Forza Horizon 5 are true, it’s potential we might see an announcement at The Game Awards, which takes place on Thursday, December 12.
