Forza Horizon 5

to be fair, because this is getting a bit tiresome to read so I'm going to add to it 😄  Forza is very much the outlier for racing games. The regular series in the genre, Ride, Project Cars etc don't sell anything like this much, and would not be considered mainstream.  Racing games have got more specialist, it's just you do get the occasional Forza and Mario Kart in amongst that

It really seems like they've given up if that turns out to be true, and series like Halo and Gears aren't an 'if' but a 'when' question now.

 

On the plus side they probably would have to re-negociate those licensing deals for this release, so if nothing else this at least extends the game's shelf life on Xbox.

As seems to become more common with Microsoft's releases, this won't get a physical version on PS5: https://insider-gaming.com/forza-horizon-5-has-no-current-plans-for-physical-release-on-ps5/

 

Now just by principle this is dumb IMO, but if you add the tiny issue of time-limited licenses to this then we're yet again looking at a game that will disappear from the face of the earth in five years or so, and the only version that will still be available then is a pre-owned physical Xbox One version. Admittedly it was a pipe dream to expect MS of all publishers to ship this content-complete on two discs for PS5, but it's more than just a little unfortunate that only the worst version of the game will remain available in the long run (at least on console, on PC there will always be 'workarounds' I guess).
