Recent whispers and leaks in the gaming community suggest that a slate of Xbox titles might soon find a home on PlayStation consoles.
Among the buzz is the talk about Forza Horizon 5 possibly making a jump to PlayStation. Notable leaker, known as @eXtas1stv on X/Twitter, stirred the pot by hinting at this transition through a GIF post. They later clarified, emphasizing that while Forza Horizon 5 is slated for PlayStation, the exact timing remains a mystery. They assured fans it’s not necessarily happening next week, but it’s on the horizon.
In a tweet, @eXtas1stv wrote, “👀🔥 IMPORTANT 💯 On the topic to clear up my GIF since it’s gone viral in a ‘playful’ way. First of all, no active plans yet for Starfield. However, Forza Horizon 5 is set to launch pretty soon. The announcement? Well, that’s something to wait for…”
Adding to the speculation, on the ResetEra forum, a user inquired about when more Xbox games would head to PlayStation. Responding to this, reputable leaker shinobi602 hinted at a significant game making its way to the platform. Complementing this, Tom Warren from The Verge chimed in, noting that although there might be an announcement, players shouldn’t expect the game next week. Many members of the gaming community are betting that this anticipated reveal will occur during Gamescom 2024, which runs from August 21 to August 25, 2024.
Meanwhile, another rumor from Discord whispers that Microsoft Flight Simulator could be the next Xbox title to land on PlayStation, though this remains unconfirmed by Xbox. Meanwhile, excitement builds around the upcoming Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. At a preview event, Xbox hinted that the game’s release date will be disclosed during the Opening Night Live segment at Gamescom 2024.
In a related development, Microsoft is expanding its feature repertoire on PCs with the introduction of Compact Mode via the Xbox Game Bar. Currently accessible only to Xbox Insiders, this feature promises to streamline the experience of switching between games, accessing widgets, and closing games, enhancing convenience for users. Previously, such functions were reserved for Xbox App users.
