Recently, the internet has been buzzing with leaks about several Xbox titles potentially making their way to PlayStation. One of the hot topics is the potential arrival of Forza Horizon 5 on PlayStation consoles. A well-known leaker, who goes by the handle @eXtas1stv, took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to clarify some of the rumors surrounding this. In their post, they confirmed that Forza Horizon 5 is slated to hit PlayStation eventually, although the exact timing remains uncertain. They hinted that while it might not be immediate, fans should expect it in due course.
In the land of online forums, a member on ResetEra sparked further speculation by asking when the next batch of Xbox games would make their way to PlayStation. Responding to this, another trusted leaker, shinobi602, hinted there’s a major title on the horizon for PlayStation users. Soon after, Tom Warren, a journalist from The Verge, chimed in with a tweet, clarifying that while an announcement was looming, the actual release wouldn’t happen next week. This has led to widespread speculation that the official word may come during the Gamescom 2024 event, slated for August 21 to August 25.
Adding to the mix, there have been whispers on Discord about Microsoft Flight Simulator being the next Xbox game to make the jump to PlayStation. But, as of now, these remain just that—whispers. Nothing has been officially confirmed by Xbox yet. On another note, there’s exciting news about Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. During a recent preview event, Xbox representatives mentioned that they’re gearing up to announce a release date during the Opening Night Live segment of Gamescom 2024.
In other developments, Microsoft is rolling out a new Compact Mode feature for PCs through the Xbox Game Bar, which is currently available to Xbox Insiders. This nifty feature is designed to enhance user experience by making it quicker to switch between games, access widgets, and close games. It was previously only available to Xbox App users, but now it’s branching out to a wider audience.
For those eager for more gaming news, keep an eye out for The Plucky Squire, which is set to debut this September on PlayStation Plus.
