In a surprising turn, Microsoft’s Forza Horizon 5 has become the top-selling game on PlayStation 5 in 2025, according to data from Alinea Analytics. The open-world racing game, developed by Playground Games, has reportedly shipped over three million copies on the PS5 since its release on the platform in April.
This success marks a significant shift as Microsoft pushes to expand the availability of its Xbox exclusive games to rival platforms. The company plans to release several more first-party titles on PS5 throughout the year, capitalizing on the wider audience and potentially boosting revenue streams. Forza Horizon 5’s performance highlights the potential for Microsoft-owned games to thrive on competing consoles, blurring the lines of traditional console exclusivity.
