Another former Xbox-exclusive is headed to PS5, and console loyalists are pissed

In accordance with Xbox’s renewed stance on cross-platform availability, Forza Horizon 5 is making its move to the PlayStation 5. This is yet another major first-party Microsoft title that is being ported to Sony’s console, and warranted or not, it’s making console warriors incredibly angry.
Xbox confirmed this port in a Jan. 30 post on X announcing that Forza Horizon 5 would arrive on the PS5 this spring. The 2021 racing title will be the first in the franchise to ever release on PlayStation. Forza Horizon 5 is also one of the best-selling Xbox titles in history, with over 30 million players total. This launch is not that surprising, however, as Xbox chief Phil Spencer recently said that multi-platform releases are the way to go for the company, and that console exclusivity, even with first-party titles, is not the path Xbox wants to follow.
