- Xbox Game Studios head Craig Duncan spoke about the company’s PS5 release strategy
- He said Xbox is “going to try to be more consistent” with the PS5 versions
- Unlike other Xbox titles, Forza Horizon 6 should launch on PS5 out of sync with other platforms.
Xbox has spoken a little more about its release strategy for PlayStation 5, going so far as to admit that things could be smoother on that front.
In an interview with GamesRadar+, Xbox Game Studios boss Craig Duncan detailed the success of the publisher’s efforts on Sony’s machine, highlighting Forza Horizon 5 as a particularly impressive element.
“Forza Horizon 5which launched on PS5 last year, did really, really well,” Duncan said. “It’s helped the community around this game grow – it gives everyone more people to play with. For me, this strategy is really about how we can make our games reach as many people as possible. »
Xbox Game Studios released a number of its titles on PS5 last year. Games like Doom: Dark Ages And The Outer Worlds 2 arrived on the console the same day as the Xbox and PC versions. Some weren’t so lucky, however, like Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will come to PS5 at a later date.
This will also be true for Forza Horizon 6, which will arrive on Xbox and PC on May 19, 2026. However, a PS5 release is expected later this year, with no concrete date specified at the time of writing. This also does not correspond to the launches of the two Fable And Oven, which should arrive on PS5 the same day as the other platforms.
Duncan explained why this might be the case, saying: “There are always development realities about when these projects start – how big a team is and what plans we have at the start of development…
“Sometimes we’re inconsistent. You see some games in one place, some games in multiple places. Just know that we’re going to work on that and we’re going to try to be more consistent in what we do.”
