Forza Horizon 5 launched on PS5 just a few weeks in the past, bringing cross-platform play to the first-party Xbox recreation. To mark the event, Forza is getting an Xbox-PlayStation hybrid livery for the Lamborghini Revuelto, an unlockable automotive within the recreation’s new Realms replace.
Boasting the trademark shiny blue of PlayStation and neon inexperienced of Xbox, the livery is supposed to have a good time “extra gamers driving collectively,” now that the sport is now not an Xbox console unique. As said in a press release, “Lamborghini and Forza have joined forces to create a strong image of unity: a first-of-its-kind livery, designed for a vibrant driving group, that’s solely getting larger.”
The livery would not embrace any particular symbols or icons associated to PlayStation–getting the PS5 button symbols into an Xbox-published and -owned recreation was most likely a bridge too far–but it’s nonetheless outstanding to see an Xbox first-party recreation selling cross-platform play so explicitly.
It is the tennis instance of Microsoft’s effort to publish extra of its video games on extra platforms. This initiative has been profitable, at the very least in current months: Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella revealed that it was the top publisher on the PlayStation Store based on preorders, pushed by Forza Horizon 5, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and the soon-to-be-released Doom: The Dark Ages.
