Microsoft’s Forza Horizon 5 continues to be a huge hit on PlayStation, it seems. Research from Alinea Analytics claims that the game just recently passed 5 million copies sold on PS5.
This works out to more than $300 million in revenue on PS5 alone for the 2021 game. Alinea’s Rhys Elliott said this data proves why Microsoft is keen to release more of its own games on a rival platform like Sony’s PS5. “Xbox’s move to third-party is no mystery, especially given Microsoft’s lofty profitability mandates,” Elliott said.
As Microsoft does not keep 100% of the revenue, as Sony gets a cut for its platform fee. The industry standard revenue share is 70/30.
