Forza Horizon 5’s PS5 Xbox Twist

Microsoft continues to emphasize the Xbox brand even for gamers on other platforms, as PS5 players wanting to enjoy Forza Horizon 5 find themselves needing a Microsoft Xbox account. The confirmation was recently made through a game FAQ, sparking debate and dissatisfaction within the gaming community.

The mandate arrives despite the absence of cross-progression features, raising eyebrows among PlayStation users. Coupled with the disappointment over the game’s non-availability in physical disc format, many potential buyers are left pondering their purchasing decisions. Experts suggest that this could influence market dynamics, potentially driving traditional disc advocates away from digital-only offerings.
