An Xbox Exclusive Despite Delayed Release Is Capable of Moving Millions on PlayStation 5 Because Gran Turismo Can’t Fill the Arcade Racer Void

When it comes to the console war, both camps have their own weapons. For example, if we talk about the arcade racing genre, PlayStation can come up with the Gran Turismo franchise. On the other hand, Xbox will surely settle the debate with Forza Horizon.

Yes, PlayStation might be superior in terms of exclusive titles and better hardware specifications. But the console war is not as fierce as it used to be a few years ago because Xbox has edged past its arch-rival in many ways. Similarly, when it comes to arcade racers, PlayStation doesn’t have any clue against Xbox’s Forza Horizon. However, reports claim PlayStation fans will find a clue as well, as the latest installment of Xbox exclusive arcade racer is reportedly coming to their platform.

Forza Horizon 5 Is Reportedly Coming to PlayStation 5

In a conversation on Twitter, credible leaker eXtas1stv claimed that PlayStation fans will soon see themselves in the Mexican tracks through Forza Horizon 5.

Forza Horizon 5 tiene un port ya hecho para llegar a PS5, pero se paró (que no cancelado) su lanzamiento este pasado verano. Eso si, consideran que es un juego que puede funcionar bastante bien, llegará, no sé cuándo, pero llegará.

“Forza Horizon 5 has already been ported to PS5, but its release was delayed (not canceled) this past summer. However, they consider it a game that can do quite well, and it will arrive, I don’t know when, but it will arrive,” this is what the Spanish reply from the leaker translates into.

If confirmed, this would be huge news for PlayStation gamers, but keep in mind that it’s still a rumor and should be treated with caution. It would be interesting to see a completely new audience have the opportunity to experience the Forza games, which have consistently been among the best Xbox console exclusives available.

Forza Horizon would undoubtedly compete with the Gran Turismo games, which are currently thought to be the best racing games available on the PlayStation.

Which Is Better – Forza Horizon or Gran Turismo? And Why Is It Forza?

Over the past 20 years, the Forza franchise has expanded significantly, leaving Gran Turismo quite behind. Since Microsoft released the first game on the original Xbox in 2005, it has taken the gaming world by storm and isn’t slowing down anytime soon thanks to its incredible graphics, picturesque settings, and variety of usable vehicles.

The dynamic driving experience in the game is one of the main attractions for players. Forza Horizon has some of the most sophisticated lighting and weather systems of any racing game. The player becomes much more involved in the race and is given a sense of dreamy realism.

Every lap can feel like a new experience, even in the same arena, because of the passing of time, unexpected weather effects, chance events, and shifting shadows as the player moves through various areas of the track. Many anticipate that the upcoming game will make use of Unreal Engine 5, so car enthusiasts can expect a visual feast.

Because the player does not have to constantly navigate menus before getting behind the wheel, the game’s open-world formula and ease of switching between cars further contribute to its appeal. It’s a smooth experience, like shifting from first to second gear.

Given that Microsoft has developed such a comprehensive racing experience, it is understandable why Sony’s foray into the market falls short.
