It looks like the PS5 release of Forza Horizon 5 has already added almost one million players to Microsoft’s mammoth arcade racing game.
Gamesradar:
Almost four years on from its original launch on Xbox Series X, I'm reliving the opening of Forza Horizon 5 on PS5.
The gloriously over-the-top introduction to Playground Games' open-world racing adventure is just as entertaining as it ever was, but there's one marked difference that steps things up a gear.
After jettisoning out of the back of a plane behind the wheel of a Ford Bronco, I careen over the hilltops of Mexico and I'm instantly taken by the responsive feel of the DualSense controller.
Not only do the adaptive triggers give me tactile feedback as I put the pedal to the metal, but the controller's vibrations change to mirror the traction of the wheels as I hit different surfaces. I really begin to notice how it enhances the experience when the race switches things up and has me speeding across tarmac in the silky smooth Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Coupe.
I've always loved how every vehicle in Forza Horizon 5 feels different to drive.
I love how much shit ppl were happy to talk about Forza Horizon, but now that it’s on PS5, suddenly it’s amazing.
I’ve got news for you - it was always great, and a lot of other Xbox owned games are great too - but nobody wanted to hear it bc dumbass console war bs.
I don't recall hearing shit about FH5 here.
Only just a few ridiculous things from some special people claiming the player counts are fake or suspicious, even though the player counts are *literally displayed on in-game leaderboards* and are based on nearly 4 years of availability as one of the most acclaimed racers in history having gone through several waves of largely-discounted pricing along the way
I’ve never heard anyone talk about forza games. I’ve heard tons of forza over GT sports or 7 though. I’m not into racers but the commentary on the games was never negative. Perhaps you could link some for me?
Dude come on. Stop with the strawman argument. Nobody shit talks Forza Horizon. Everybody knows, even PS gamers, that Forza Horizon is Xbox's best IP.
The article discusses the release of Forza Horizon 5 on the PS5.
Nathan Ingraham, deputy editor of Engadget initially bought an Xbox Series S for the game but now finds it unnecessary since it's on PlayStation. He praises the game's performance on the PS5, especially the DualSense controller, and highlight the continuous updates and new content, making it a great experience for new PS5 players.
I don't need any console PS5 or xbox got what i wanted on PC.
I can wait a year or two for some games, but if Sony makes it 6 months to port a game will be better.
Horizon 5 is 2021 game.
Yes you played it and millions of non-Xbox owners haven't.
"Horizon 5 is 2021 games" is irrelevant if the game is still supported by developers and still the most played game.
' "Horizon 5 is 2021 games" is irrelevant ' ~ yes of course.
^ And yet we see countless "| insert_PS_game | is an old | insert_any_past_year | game" comments on N4G whenever any PS 1st or sponsored game moves to other platforms and those comments even get double digits upvotes just for that.
Even saw few under CP2077 for Switch 2 thread.
Lmaoo you said I can wait a year or two for some games and then say horizon 5 is a 2021 game.
What?
So it’s 3-4 years to long for you or something, 2 years is the cut off time lol.
I am talking about sony games can you even read?
Horizon 5 - Gears 5 - Hellblade 2, Ori indy jones , starfield etc are day one games on PC there are a lot more day one games that released on pc without ps5
Returnal - spider man 2 are 1- 2 years console exclusive.
Same, casual plebs are the main console player these days. I’ve switched solely to PC where I can play what I want when I want without subscriptions or paywalls.
Good for you. Hope you dont have to pay price of a new console in electricity costs per month.
@obscured/haden:” Lol i knew u low intellect pathetic”
Ya mad bro because forza is sailing more games and looking better on PlayStation 🤣
Btw reported as spam bye bye 👋.
Next stop on the obsolete rage train is HALO stand clear of the whining doors.
Good for the the writer if he can save money like any smart player by owning a PC and PS5
Well... PSVR2 still has exclusives and PS5 has some more, as well as PS4 (and PS3, PS2, PSOne ones). So, yes, your argument is valid, but not correct. You will lose very incredible experiences only with a PC and no PS5.
Why lol? And yes PSVR 2 has some i credible gaming, just because most arent jumping into VR doesn't make it less good.
Nope, nothing to lose
PCs also still have Half life alyx as an exclusive
And I am more interested and hyped for Squadron 42 than any game on PS5.
Also, Fable, Perfect Dark, Gears E-day, OD, etc
day one on PC.
PC has emulators too like switch games that not on PS5.

Forza Horizon 5's recent release on PS5 has been met with widespread acclaim.
This review highlights it as one of the best racing games available on the platform, praising its stunning visuals, smooth performance, and the wealth of content it offers.
The game's open-world design, varied events, and engaging driving mechanics contribute to an immersive and enjoyable experience. Many reviews also note that even though the game was originally released a few years ago, it still feels fresh and offers a huge amount of content.
...just shows how starved for good arcade style racing games the PS fans have been. Just imagine if Sony had not closed Evolution studios. They are sitting on their own open world style arcade racer series... Motorstorm.
Glad they are seeing success from this. The game is one of the best racing games on the market. There are not much arcade racers available on PlayStation so to get a AAA experience is welcomed.
Its a fantastic game.
Highest rated PS5 racer and potentially 2025 game is a Xbox studios title. Who saw that coming a decade ago.
Not surprised. Forza has always been the best in that genre. Playground Games are really good devs. Microsoft was smart to add them to their family of devs.
