Following rumours last year, Microsoft announced that their seminal Xbox Series X|S title ‘Forza Horizon 5’ will be coming to PlayStation 5 this Spring. With pre-orders going live ahead of its 29th of April launch, the game has quickly climbed to the top of the PlayStation charts across multiple different countries.

In going to the pre-orders page on the PlayStation Store, it can be seen that the first-party Xbox title Forza Horizon 5 has managed to top the best-sellers list in over half a dozen regions including the UK; Germany; France; Mexico; Brazil and Canada (peaking at 3rd place on the US store).

Given the fact that the game is also being offered in 3 different editions, the total placement for the game when all 3 SKUs are combined could be even greater.

Of course, it’s not entirely clear exactly how PlayStation’s best-sellers list is determined, but it’s safe to say that there’s a great deal of interest in Forza Horizon 5 coming to PlayStation.

It will be interesting to see whether Microsoft will report sales figures for the first time in years following its release.
