Forza Horizon 5 Tops PS5 Sales in 2025 as Former Xbox Exclusive

Forza Horizon 5, originally launched as an Xbox exclusive in 2021, has surged to become the best-selling PS5 game of 2025 with over 3 million copies sold, according to Alinea Insight. A late-March launch on PS5 and a 25% off sale that reduced the price to $45 drove its rapid ascent past heavyweights like Monster Hunter World and Death Stranding 2.

This multi-platform strategy has paid off for Microsoft, which now boasts 45 million players on Xbox consoles and 6.5 million Steam sales, generating nearly $400 million in revenue on non-Microsoft hardware and signaling a decisive shift toward third-party publishing.
