A significant shift in the gaming landscape is on the horizon as Microsoft has opted to expand access to its exclusive titles beyond Xbox platforms, extending to competitors like PS5 and Nintendo Switch. Amidst this strategic maneuver, anticipation is building for the next game poised to make the leap from exclusive to multi-platform status.

Reports from various sources suggest that Xbox is gearing up to unveil its next PS5-compatible game in the coming week. Insider Gaming, eXtas1s, and Shinobi have all hinted at an imminent announcement during the Gamescom week.

Although there is some ambiguity surrounding the identity of the game in question, eXtas1s, known for their accurate leaks in recent times, suggests that Forza Horizon 5 will be the title making its transition. However, Jez Corden of Windows Central casts doubt on this claim, hinting that while a new port may indeed be revealed next week, it might not necessarily be the acclaimed open-world racing title from Playground Games.

Forza Horizon has stood out as a flagship title within the Xbox ecosystem throughout the last two console generations. As a genre that leans into sports gaming, the decision to broaden its availability to multiple platforms could be driven by various factors, including the expensive licenses required for cars and music.

Stay tuned for updates as the gaming world braces for the official announcement of Forza Horizon 5’s journey to the PlayStation 5 platform.
