Playground Games just dropped some unexpected news: Forza Horizon 5 is on its way to the PS5. It’s not every day you hear about a major Xbox exclusive making the leap to PlayStation, so it’s pretty big news. But that’s not all—rumor has it that Halo: The Master Chief Collection could be the next big Xbox title heading to the PS5.
A buzz-worthy tweet from Okami Games has fans buzzing with anticipation, asking, “Halo on PS5 is really happening, isn’t it?” For those not in the loop, Forza is one of Xbox’s flagship series, alongside heavyweights like Halo and Gears of War. These games are often dubbed the “big three,” which is quite fitting because they’ve been pillars of Microsoft’s gaming portfolio for years.
Jez Corden from Windows Central has chimed in on this chatter, suggesting that yes, Halo: The Master Chief Collection is indeed making its way to PS5. Although there are no fresh details at the moment, the possibility of seeing John-117 battle it out on a PlayStation console seems more likely than ever.
The whispers about Master Chief joining the PlayStation lineup have been around for a while. Corden himself hinted last year that Halo might be jumping over to Sony’s side. He also speculated about other Xbox titles, like Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 and Gears of War: Ultimate Edition, potentially finding a home on the PS5 as well.
Other sources have also contributed to the speculation. An episode of the Nate The Hate Podcast recently claimed that the Master Chief Collection would indeed land on the PS5.
As with all rumors, it’s best to stay cautious. Even if insiders have mentioned Halo’s move to PlayStation in the past, circumstances can shift, so nothing is set in stone just yet.
