The pre-load date and download size for the PS5 version of Xbox and Playground Games' racing game, Forza Horizon 5, have been revealed.
Lighthouse Games, the AAA Leamington Spa-based studio formed in 2022 by Playground Games co-founder and former studio head Gavin Raeburn, has revealed it's developing a "disruptive" driving game and secured additional investment from Tencent to make it happen.
I feel sorry for this guy and his newly formed studio.
He left XGS and Playground to pursue his multi platform dreams just to find out next that Xbox will be making games for every single platform. Smh.
I don't think it's any of that. Im sure hes heard of Xbox multiplat approach but wanted to do their own thing anyway. He has complete freedom and direction. This game could be a break out hit and join Larian Studios Baldurs Gate and Clair Obscure Expedition 33 a more independent studios.
"I would say we're not building Horizon. If I wanted to build Horizon 6, 7 and 8, I would have stayed at Playground"
He didn't want to keep making Horizon. Try reading any article before giving a nod to Microsoft.
I'm glad studios are breaking off from big pubs and doing their own thing.
Making games that are player lead and games that devs want to make and play themselves. This is how it was in the 90's 2000's even early 2010's. That's part of the reason why gaming was better back then. With more independency in the industry we'll have more creative games. Not this formulaic dopamine reward driven systems. But engaging, dynamic and most importantly organically fun to play. Not manufactured fake fun like how it is these days.
Rant over it'll be probably be awhile till we see their game but here's hoping it's good.

I've been playing this on the Pro since launch. It's been perfect. I've never even noticed pop-in. It's just been running perfectly in my opinion.
I've never owned any titles in this series (I'm a PS guy), but I think they just sold me a copy.
Beautiful looking game. This is why console wars are so stupid. Play what you want... Where you want
PlayStation has added a whopping 56 games to its PlayStation Cloud Gaming catalogue.
There are some big titles in the list, including Forza Horizon 5.
And this is right after they removed Resistance 1 & 2! Does anyone realize this?
(I tried to add it as a posting, but it was old news by the time I realized it)
Playstation cloud gaming? Wasn’t that PS Now until it merged with PS plus….
Can someone tell me what’s going on?
PS Cloud gaming was PS NOW before, now its the Premium tier (top one) of PLAYSTATION PLUS.
if you have PS+Premium you can cloud stream games onto a PS4 or PS5 or onto a PS Portal. The nice thing about being able to stream directly to a PS Portal is that you don't need your PS5 to be turned on and used to remote play.
PS NOW had a PC app, which sadly as far as i know is gone and PS+Premium has no app and no way to stream onto a PC.
The pc app is still there. You can use it to stream just like you used psnow.
You can stream all catalog games on PC and ps5
If you have ps+ premium you can stream from your pc and ps5 all the games from the catalog
It's not just the catalog. You can also stream alot ofthe games you have purchased as well.
I don’t understand cloud gaming. I’ve tried them all. Ps5, Portal, ROG Ally, XB cloud and no matter what I do I just can’t play the games because of the lag and artifacting that breaks immersion.
I have 1gb fiber that was freshly installed as well.
Local remote play works pretty good from PS and XB but strictly streaming the whole game from the cloud has been a mediocre experience for me and definitely not worth the higher cost sub.
Maybe your router? mine works fine even with stock router, but it works much better if I connect to deco.
Maybe, it’s brand new hardware a few months old but is generic isp hardware.
XB remote play local works amazing, and using my portal at home is flawless and runs like it was native.
But anything strictly played in cloud is so inconsistent.
wonder if this too will not be the full game on disc... its over 130gb.
