As a seasoned gamer with decades of gaming under my belt and a penchant for Microsoft exclusives, the prospect of Forza Horizon 5 gracing the PS5 feels like a dream come true. The slow trickle of Xbox games on PlayStation has been tantalizing, but the possibility of Forza Horizon 5 is a game-changer.
In the future, purchasing a console solely for its game library might no longer be necessary. Although it may seem unrealistic to imagine playing a Super Mario Odyssey sequel on a PS5 Pro, the possibility that games once exclusive to Xbox could be illuminated by Sony’s blue light isn’t entirely implausible.
Microsoft has revealed its ambitious vision for the future of Xbox, emphasizing the importance of cooperation rather than competition. Following the acquisition of Activision Blizzard and the popular Call of Duty franchise, there was initial concern about the game becoming exclusive to Xbox. However, Microsoft swiftly alleviated these worries, confirming that some beloved Xbox titles will indeed be available on PlayStation as well.

Over time, a few Xbox games have been adapted to play on PS5, including Hi-Fi Rush, Pentiment, Sea of Thieves, and Grounded. However, Phil Spencer has yet to reveal any additional plans for porting other games. It’s important to note that Halo and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle won’t be making the transition, while The Elder Scrolls 6 was previously confirmed as an exclusive release on Xbox.
It has been reported on Resetera by sources like NateDrake and Shinobi that there are rumors of Forza Horizon 5 being announced for PS5 at Gamescom. This was hinted further by a Cinco De Mayo GIF posted by exstas1s, suggesting that Forza could be the major reveal. However, after the speculation spread, exstas1s clarified the situation to dispel any confusion.
In a subsequent update, exstas1s confidently asserts that the Forza Horizon 5 port is on its way and will arrive “in the near future.” While they’ve scaled back excitement for a Gamescom unveiling, they note that some team members anticipate an immediate announcement while others are less certain, but either way, it’s coming soon.
There have been speculations about Bethesda’s Starfield potentially receiving a new opportunity through a PS5 version, but exstas1s clarified, “Starfield remains calm; there are no current plans for it at this time“. Despite numerous rumors of a significant Gamescom announcement, some may have speculated that Starfield is being considered for release.
However, it seems there’s more to the story. As noted, Xbox insider Jez Corden claims that Forza isn’t getting announced at Gamescom. Writing for Windows Central, Corden reiterated, “My sources indicate that Forza will not be announced for PlayStation next week.” He admits that if anything is coming, he’s not aware of what it is.
If Forza Horizon 5 isn’t announced at Gamescom, then what exciting game could potentially be unveiled instead? As the final major gaming event of the year, we’re eagerly anticipating a grand finale. With Starfield’s player count decreasing, the buzz would certainly grow if it turned out to be the rumored PS5 version. However, perhaps we’ll have to wait for another day.
Starfield’s appeal is undeniable, and with the anticipated Shattered Space DLC set to reveal some long-overdue details at Gamescom, even the most eager Starfield enthusiasts can look forward to tasting a bit of news at this gaming event.
