Forza Horizon 5: General Discussion

PS5? Hmm, not bad.

After getting the Challenger today, and after restless hunting, I FINALLY snatched the Cadillac Wagon from the Auction House out of pure luck! Woo!

All that's left is that 1995 Mustang and I have all exclusive cars collected.

I am not sure how good Panic Button is at ports, especially one so hugely optimised as Forza. And PS5 controller support will be interesting - will they embrace the controller or leave triggers unsupported?

Either way, I'm pleased for PS5 users that they get to embrace one of the best car games ever made.

Panic Button handled next-gen port work for FH4, and was also responsible for the Switch ports of the modern Bethesda FPS games. I think they'll do at least a decent job at this point.

Um, the PC releases have kind of proven its got plenty of potential on other platforms.

Money. Microsoft can make more as a 3rd party publisher on Playstation and Switch 2 than with exclusives on just Xbox/PC. Good for them, good for gamers.

The long and short of it is that Microsoft hasn't been doing too well with its own exclusive strategy and wants to go third-party. Part of that is porting its old exclusives to PS5--the success of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle there seems to have influenced ports elsewhere.

There have been GT on PC rumours for years, after some other Playstation exclusives made their way over. But if MS is putting 1st party exclusives on the playstation they are basically admitting that their hardware is not selling well enough. There may not be a next gen Xbox at this rate...
