Forza Horizon 5 Powers Up The PS5 Pre-Order Chart to 1st Place – WGB


We live in crazy times, my friends, the kind of times where an Xbox game is once again topping the pre-order charts on PlayStation.
Taking a look at the PS5 pre-order page for the UK, Forza Horizon 5 is topping the chart. Not only that, it’s the £85 premium edition, which gets playes early access and the DLC, of the game that’s in 1st place, with the standard edition in 3rd and and the £70 deluxe edition in 8th.
In America, it’s slightly different, as the game isn’t quite at the top. The Premium Edition is in 3rd position, Standard Edition in 4th position, and Deluxe Edition in 13th.
Forza Horizon 5 was announced as coming to PlayStation just last month following numerous rumours that Playground’s successful racer would be the going multiplatform.
It was then announced just the other day that Forza Horizon 5 will powerslide its way onto PS5 on April 29.
There’s a steady trickle of other former Xbox exclusives set to come to Sony’s platform this year, to. The excellent Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is scheduled for this year, while Age of Mythology: Retold is just days away from launching (March 4) and Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition is due at an unspecified time this year.
There have also been rumours that Hellblade 2 will be announced for PS5 as well, perhaps as a way of getting a few more sales out of the underperforming and underwhelming game.
As for Forza Horizon 5 developer Playground Games, it was recently announced that the Fable game they are working on has been delayed until 2026.
