Most of Shakespeare's plays were arranged into five acts by the editors who eventually published them. (Shakespeare was probably not involved in publishing any of his own plays). There is no evidence that Shakespeare deliberately wrote his plays to have five acts - in fact there is quite a lot of evidence that he didn't.
