Forza Horizon 5 continues momentum with global success
Ahead of its PS5 release, Forza Horizon 5 had already surpassed 45 million players globally, based on the in-game Hall of Fame leaderboard. The game, originally exclusive to Xbox and PC platforms, expanded its audience with the 2025 PS5 release.
In its launch month, Forza Horizon 5 topped the PlayStation Store charts across Europe. In the US and Canada, it ranked third—still a significant showing for a title previously unavailable on the platform. It remained in the top position across both regions for the month of May.
No official Sony or Microsoft confirmation
As of now, neither Microsoft nor Sony has officially confirmed the PS5 sales figure. However, the success of Forza Horizon 5 on the PlayStation platform highlights the growing demand for cross-platform experiences and the potential for Microsoft’s first-party titles to find new audiences beyond Xbox.
