“But we’ll see”
- by Liam Doolan
It’s been another massive week in the world of Xbox, and after ongoing rumours, it’s now been officially confirmed that Forza Horizon 5 will be arriving on PlayStation 5 this spring.
If you are wondering what the plan might be for PS5 beyond this point, it seems Xbox’s main mascot could be one of the next ones up with Halo: The Master Chief Collection.
Windows Central’s Jez Corden has responded to a comment about the “big three” Xbox IP potentially on the way to other platforms (that’s Halo, Forza and Gears) – suggesting Halo could be “first” now that Horizon 5 has been confirmed… but we’ll just have to wait and see.
Rumours about Forza Horizon 5 going multiplatform date back to last year. A Halo: MCC port for PlayStation and Nintendo has also been referenced on multiple occasions now – with leakers like eXtas1s and more recently Nate the Hate chiming in:
“Nate the Hate in early 2025: “Games that I have heard will be released multiplatform in 2025 beyond the obvious include Flight Simulator — will come to PlayStation 5 and Switch 2 — and Halo: The Master Chief Collection will be coming to PS5 and Switch 2 as well.”
Xbox’s previous first-party releases on other platforms have already proven to be a success, and new data focused on last month revealed Xbox’s multiplatform releases made it the top game publisher.
Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer has also reiterated over the past week how the plan is to continue releasing games on PlayStation and Nintendo platforms going forward.
