Is Forza Horizon 5 Coming to Nintendo Switch?
Forza Horizon 5 is now available worldwide, but is it coming to the Nintendo Switch? The longtime Microsoft-exclusive has already had huge success in the first week of launch, with over 800,000 copies sold as pre-orders before the game even launched, according to the VGC.
Nintendo fans, however, are left wondering if the popular racing game will make its way to Switch. With the game's success early on, Switch users would love a piece of the Forza Horizon Action.

As of now, there are no plans of Forza Horizon 5 coming to another platform in the near future, including Switch. The racing franchise has been exclusive to Microsoft since its first installment in 2012.
Since the Forza Franchise is a first-party exclusive to Xbox, it's unlikely we will ever see the game hit any other platform besides Microsoft for PC and Xbox consoles.
Xbox and Nintendo have had collaborations in the past, with Hellblade: Senuas Sacrifice and Minecraft Dungeons being brought to the Switch as recent examples of Microsoft supporting Nintendo with game releases. Banjo and Kazooie, originally licensed to Microsoft, also made appearances in the Switch's Super Smash Bros. series.
Forza Horizon 5 is available now on Xbox Series X, Series S, Xbox One, and PC.
