Forza Horizon 5 Sets Sales Record on PlayStation 5
Former Turn 10 Studios game designer Harrison Bolin has unwittingly revealed some impressive numbers for the PlayStation 5 port of Forza Horizon 5. According to data temporarily appearing on his LinkedIn profile, Microsoft's racing game has surpassed the 2 million unit sales mark on Sony's platform in just its first month of release in April 2025, marking the best debut for an Xbox game on a rival platform.
While Bolin quickly deleted the information, third-party analytics services have confirmed that the PS5 version has sold 2.9 million copies by June 2025. These numbers are especially impressive given that the original Forza Horizon 5 has been available on Xbox and PC for four years, where it has amassed an audience of millions. The successful port marks a new era in Microsoft's strategy, demonstrating the commercial potential of cross-platform releases of former exclusives.
Forza Horizon 5's record sales on PlayStation 5 underscore the franchise's continued popularity and validate Microsoft's decision to expand its audience to a rival platform despite its initial exclusivity.
