UPDATE: Friend of the site, Jez Corden, has refuted the rumor of Forza Horizon 5 being the game ported to PlayStation in a report on Windows Central
My sources indicate that Forza will not be announced for PlayStation next week. Although I can’t yet confirm what game, if any, will be announced as a port next week.

Multiple reputed leakers have reported that Forza Horizon 5 may be getting a port to PlayStation next week during Gamescom
On the infamous forum, Resetera, users NateDrake and Shinobi have both intimated that Xbox has a new PS5 port coming soon. Noted leaker exstas1s then dropped a Cinco De Mayo gif, leading many to speculate that the title would be Forza Horizon 5.
After four titles were ported as part of an “experiment” one of them took off. Sea of Thieves has been one of the best-selling games on PS4 and PS5 since it launched back in April, making more ports like this inevitable.
Forza Horizon 5 was released back in November of 2021. We loved it, stating at the time:
Beautiful beaches with hotels full of life. Dense jungles teeming with wildlife and water. An active volcano that showcases off incredible looking and far-reaching vistas, and the Baja desert where dunes become ramps for spectacular jumps. These are just a part of Forza Horizon’s version of Mexico, and it is the star of the show in the fifth game in the series releasing day and date in Game Pass. How different is this title from the previous, or is it a culmination of all that came before? Have they finally figured out a progression system that works well? Let’s find out.
This game is nearly perfect for me and there is no getting around that. It doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but it does make it smoother and faster than ever. Jaw-dropping graphics are paired with best-in-class handling and excellent audio. The story mode and progression is the best the series has had yet at this scale, and while the tone isn’t for me I didn’t find it nearly as annoying as the characters could be in FH4. Obviously, this game is on Game Pass as it is a first-party title, and with how successful the last game was I’m sure most of you will be checking this one out too. It is not only one of the best games to release this year, it is a true showcase of just what a “next-gen” title can be.
