Regardless of whether we have hearing, vision or motor disabilities, Xbox Game Studios wants to take a step forward in terms of inclusion, as they have done in the past with the Xbox Adaptive Controller. Another example is the possibility of deactivating moving funds; the option to activate a screen reading narrator for text, buttons and other screen elements; or text-to-speech and speech-to-text options for those who need to send synthesized voice or receive voice chat as synthesized text.
“These are just some of the accessibility features that we are implementing. We are also constantly listening to the community to make Forza Horizon 5 an inclusive experience for everyone to enjoy, ”says Brown.
Forza Horizon 5 will be available for Xbox One, Xbox Series X | S, Xbox Cloud Gaming and PC starting this Tuesday, November 9, 2021; also on Xbox Game Pass from day one. Those who buy the Premium Edition (99.99 euros) can start playing now.
