Since Microsoft's acquisition of Activision, the line between PlayStation and Xbox exclusives has been blurring. For now, it's a bit one-sided, but we're slowly slipping into a new era. Some will complain, others will find it fantastic. Recently, a giant from the green brand, considered a system seller (a game that sells consoles or subscriptions) arrived on PS5: Forza Horizon 5. A completely unexpected dream for thousands of players, and success was not long in coming.
Forza Horizon 5 is a hit on PS5 upon its release, a new success for Xbox
Forza Horizon 5 has been available on Xbox Series and PC for a long time and now it arrives on PS5 on April 29th, blowing everything away in its path. Users ResetEra have indeed scrutinized the total number of players Forza Horizon 5 had before and just after its launch on PS5. The game had 45.1 million players and grew to over 45.8 million shortly after its release on PS5. Based on these initial estimates, Forza Horizon 5 has now attracted over 700,000 players on PS5. That's great, very great even, especially since it's far from finished. We remember that for Sea of Thieves, the game was not only a hit upon its release but also managed to seduce several weeks after its launch to the point of becoming one of the best-selling games on PS5 during its first month on the platform. Xbox can rub its hands, its strategy is working like a charm, Forza Horizon 5 and even the recent Indiana Jones and the Ancient Circle are further proof of this.
A major competitor to Gran Turismo 7 enters the race on its territory
Until now, Gran Turismo 7 dominated the PS5 by a wide margin and players could only turn to The Crew Motorfest to indulge in different open-world motorsports in a unique map. Now, Forza Horizon 5 is also entering the race and does not intend to be left behind. The game offers a ton of activities, smooth and fun multiplayer, hundreds of faithfully modeled vehicles, breathtaking graphics (even more on PS5 Pro), and an absolutely beautiful open world. A whole universe that PlayStation players can now discover.
In addition to its release on PS5, Forza Horizon 5 has received a major update with Horizon Realms, which allows everyone to enjoy old iconic locations that appeared during various limited-time events. There are plenty of things to do, see, and discover, as well as to unlock, awaiting drivers. As if the game itself wasn't already packed with things.
