Forza Horizon 5 has surpassed 5 million copies sold on PlayStation 5, as confirmed by developer Virtuos. This achievement validates Xbox's multiplatform strategy, which prioritizes reaching more players over selling consoles. The title, with a 92 on Metacritic, has become one of the best-selling games of 2025 on PS5, even surpassing several Sony exclusives.
Virtuos and Technical Optimization on PS5 🎮
Virtuos, the studio in charge of the port, has done a remarkable job of optimization. The game maintains a frame rate of 60 frames per second in performance mode and 30 in visual quality mode with ray tracing. The PS5 version leverages SSD storage to reduce loading times to under 5 seconds. The adaptation of the DualSense controller, with haptic feedback and adaptive triggers, offers a tactile experience that was not available on Xbox or PC.
Xbox Celebrates, Sony Rubs Its Eyes 😏
While Xbox celebrates selling millions in enemy territory, Sony must be wondering why its exclusives don't achieve those numbers. Microsoft's car game has sneaked into the PS5 top charts like an uninvited guest who ends up being the life of the party. The best part: PlayStation players now understand why Xbox users have been bragging about driving through Mexico for years.
