Frustrated Xbox owners say ‘PlayStation won’ as Forza Horizon 5 makes its way to PS5
The mass destruction of Xbox consoles begins as the future of their exclusives hangs in the balance. Meanwhile, PlayStation players are having a blast.

Huge news for PlayStation owners has spread worldwide – Forza series to launch on PS5 this spring. And let’s just say Xbox enthusiasts aren’t too thrilled, to put it mildly. Some are even calling it a betrayal, while Sony fans are celebrating the chance to experience one of the best open-world racing games on their platform.
PlayStation wins this round
Let’s go back to the beginning. Many of us had a hunch that Microsoft’s era of exclusivity was coming to an end when they began bringing their games to other platforms. That suspicion was soon Forza Horizon 5 is officially coming to PS5 later this year.
Needless to say, while some are rejoicing, others are furious, questioning things like, ‘this is how they repay us?’ or simply declaring, ‘PlayStation won’. Some have even posted images of their Xbox consoles smashes to pieces. Meanwhile, proud Sony fans are joking, ‘What should I choose? Forza or Gran Turismo? How about both?’.
But I think my favorite comment comes from u/Ok_Tooth_7532 on the Forza Horizon subreddit: ‘Xbox is about to be SEGA. No console, only games.....and controllers’. While it's a bit of an exaggeration, it really captures the current vibe of the industry. Physical games are dying, exclusives are disappearing, and Nintendo will be the last one standing with their old-school model.
