It's official, Forza Horizon 5 is coming to PS5!

Right? If anything, MS spending too much put them in this position in the first place. Never has spending 80 billion on the Xbox brand ever been a good idea.

Hell, it's insane to spend that much money on a game platform period

It's great that more people get to play Forza. But at the same time wouldn't this make the Xbox consoles more pointless to buy? If Microsoft starts releasing their future games on Playstation and the rumors that they might even do that for the Switch 2, it will most likely hurt their console sales even more. At this point Microsoft should just be like Sega and go straight to third party instead.

@AcidTango: Well no shit Acid 😂😂😂 people have been saying that for the past year already…only people investing in Xbox are those that enjoy the whole ecosystem of Xbox…the console experience…already having an established digital library, friends, & game pass

great game, and I would hope a lot of ps players get this game too and bring a larger audience. This is one of those games that deserve a huge audience, as well as MSFS. Both are masterpieces in their respective genres.

I'm thrilled that MS is finally making more profit by pushing multiplatform for a bunch of games. Forza is one of those that definitely would do great as multiplatform, and same with gears of war in my opinion. Halo also at this point, because it just needs a large an audience as possible.

The value proposition of xbox is gamepass, and that is what differentiates it, plus how well its integrated with PC and cloud. Other consoles don't have anything that is as seamless or affordable as a gaming machine.

Lets face it...theres no point in making games 1st party if people don't buy into your console. At least this way, you can target other consoles fans and bring them into the xbox family directly.

OMG in one single announcement Sonys best racer is a Microsoft game .... So many feelings rushing in... It's weird.

Well, one could say that the overspending as a trend has accelerated the end of exclusive gaming. These numbers publishers are spending and losing! My God how can they not go full multiplat? With the exception of Nintendo the other two have no choice any longer and well, they kinda did it to themselves.... Especially with Nintendo as an example of fiscal responsibility sitting right in front of them cleaning up. It's embarrassing... But gamers win.

Some folks like to pretend that Sony hasn't shifted gears with exclusives launching on PC faster than they release new games. 😂 Soon, they will realize that console gaming ship is sailing away.

Except PS5 is outpacing PS4 and that is with a higher price and having supply issues at launch 😎

^ got em.🤭

Ok hotdug🙂

@davillain: That's sensible IF you make games only, it's smart to put them on every platform posdible.

But when you have a platform of your own where you get 100% of the money (from digital) and 100% of the money when your store sells dlc and the like, then it's more beneficial to have as many people on your platform as possible, then to hedge your bets with a split strategy.

Well, I welcome MS officially joining PlayStation as a third party partner. If increasing ROI for their investors is their top priority, along with thousands of layoffs and studio closures, then going third party is an understandable decision in the short term, though not necessarily a good one in the long term.

In any case, PS is now the only platform on the market where you can play both the best racing sim (GT7) and the best open-world racer (FH5). I can't wait for Team Asobi to take Mario Kart and make the best kart racer, just like they took 3D Mario and made Astro Bot, haha.

That is great news. More games on PS is always great. Sony just need to improve the PS+ experience and mass migration will happen.
